Sheep Lacaune Meat The two genetic programs developed in the breed have made it possible to obtain two distinct genetic types, each adapted to the production of lambs under the mother in a production mode corresponding to the expectations of the user breeder. The selection program of the OVI TEST scheme favors the maternal qualities of mothers (prolificacy, milk value) and makes it possible to obtain high productivity while improving butchers criteria. The selection program of the GEBRO scheme favors beef qualities (conformation, state of fattening, carcass yield) and rapid growth of lambs; maternal skills of mothers are maintained. Seasoning remains a major asset of the breed for a production spread throughout the year. The sanitary management of the herds already makes it possible to produce and distribute widely throughout the breed healthy breeding animals resistant to Scrapie.
