Welcome to the site of the Bleu du Maine Studbook!

With this website we would like to inform you about the Bleu du Maine breed and the Studbook, which has been active in the Netherlands since 1987.

In the Photo albums you will find an impression of our inspections and in the News we will keep you informed of breeding matters, inspections and related news.

ABOUT THE BREED

The Bleu du Maine, originally called Mouton Bleu, was created at the end of the last century from a cross between the Chotelais and the Leicester or the Chotelais and the Wensleydale. It is an excellent pasture breed and a large sheep with a lot of volume. It is not certain which crossing caused the blue head. An extremely strict selection has made it one of the most productive varieties has become in the world.
