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.
