THE LACAUNE BREED: Milk Performance and French Genetic Excellence
EXCELLENT ewes,
selected for YOUR FARM
Originating from southern France, the Lacaune ewe is the global reference for dairy sheep farming, famous for its key role in the production of Roquefort cheese.
Selected for decades for its exceptional milk yield and hardiness, it adapts perfectly to various climates.
In direct partnership with breeders from the breed's cradle, we export elite ewe lambs, rams, and ewes from the best flocks. Whether for the creation, extension, or genetic improvement of your flock, we provide you with high-performance animals guaranteeing the success of your farm.
The Lacaune: A VERSATILE and HIGH-PERFORMANCE dairy breed
Milk yield, fertility, and longevity at the service of your flock.
The Lacaune stands out as one of the best dairy sheep breeds in the world. Thanks to rigorous genetic selection, you benefit from an animal capable of producing high-quality milk, ideal for cheese processing.
Your performance indicators (2023 Campaign):
-
Production: 357 liters of milk in 177 days (flocks in the selection database).
-
Milk richness: 56 g/L Protein Content (PC) and 75 g/L Butterfat Content (BC).
-
Feeding: Excellent intake capacity to enhance your forage (hay, wrapped silage, silage) and your cereals.
Master your production cycle: With the Lacaune, you benefit from a natural ability for out-of-season breeding. This ease of "cycling" animals year-round, combined with an excellent response to artificial insemination, allows you to plan your lambing and produce milk all year round according to your needs.
