 The Lacaune dairy sheep hail from the same region of Southern France as the world famous Roquefort cheese. Lacaune are very well adapted to harsh conditions and rocky terrain. They represent an excellent and robust dual purpose
breed characterized by good milk performance with high butter fat and milk protein; high daily gains in lambs with a good carcass quality, producing mild tasting nicely coloured meat. In Europe the Lacaune are especially well adapted for large commercial dairy sheep operations being systematically selected there for machine milking. The Lacaune are good graziers, healthy and robust sheep who have a professionally organized breeding program with well selected and monitored sheep genetics. |
