ILE DE FRANCE SHEEP
The Ile de France is one of the best breeds for meat conformation. Because of its conformation and speed of growth, it is widely used in industrial crossing with hardy breeds to supply the sheep meat industry. Meanwhile, its breed selection programme continues to improve its maternal qualities. In prolificacy and dairy value, the Ile de France is among the leaders of the meat breeds. The Ile de France ewe feeds its lambs naturally without any problems.
LACAUNE DAIRY LINE
The Lacaune is the most numerous sheep breed in France. It has been selected in France for increased milk production under a sophisticated selection program incorporating artificial insemination, milk recording, and progeny testing of sires for longer than any other dairy sheep breed in the world.
LACAUNE MEAT LINE SHEEP
The capacity of ewes to naturally lamb out of season makes it possible to establish accelerated reproduction systems (3 lambings in 2 years).
Lamb production is thus spread over the whole year.
MERINOS SHEEP
The Merinos de Palas sheep breed was created and developed by Romanian researchers who wanted to produce a productive sheep. The breed was approved in 1960 as a mixed sheep breed, both grown for wool and meat production.
Fast, sheep of this breed have been appreciated worldwide for their distinctive features.
Physics description
The sheep of the Merinos de Palas is one of the most advanced breeds in our country, raised for the production of meat and wool. She is a medium-sized sheep with a solid, harmonious, body-like body shape with a long body covered with thick white-cream fur.
At maturity, Merino de Palas breeds reach a weight of 57-60 pounds and the rams at 99-105 kilograms.
Productivity
Merino de Palas sheep breed is considered the best sheep breed in Romania, appreciated internationally for its qualities. In fact, Merino de Palas rams are used to relieve other sheep breeds.
The production of wool on rams of the Merinos de Palas is 12-14 kilograms and sheep of 6-8 kilograms.
MONTBÉLIARDE CATTLE
The average weight of an adult Montbéliarde cow lies between 650 and 800 pounds. A bull weighs between 1.000 and 1.200 kilograms.
MONTBÉLIARDE CATTLE (Copy)
The Limousine owes its name to the region from which it originates, the Limousin, located to the west of the Massif Central. It comes more precisely from the department of Haute-Vienne. Fine frame, well-rounded panties, its dress is of bright wheat color (mahogany) with clearer aureoles around the muzzle and the eyes. Its mucous membranes and horns, arched forward, are clear.
MURCIANA-GRANADINA GOAT
The Murciana-Granadina is well adapted to the hot and dry conditions of the semiarid areas
It is the most productive domestic animal in this climate because of its ability to maintain a high milk production under less than ideal conditions.
The Murcia-Granada flocks graze adverse terrain and feed on the by-products of the agroalimentary industry with a very good transformation index.
This breed produces near 500 kg of milk in 280 days of lactation, with a composition of fat (5.3%) and protein (3.4%) better than other breeds in Mediterranean areas.
Most of milk production is used for cheese production.
NORMANDE
The Normande is a red and white cow with occasional sometimes widespread areas of brown hair. Typically, the brown hair has the look of tiger stripes, or brindles, interspersed with the red spots, and there is some degree of balance between the three different hues. However, one colour often dominates, and there is a different name for the dominance of each colour.
Calves do not display their brindles until a few weeks after birth, and altogether, Normande cattle tend to darken as they age.
ROMANOV SHEEP
Romanov ewes tend to lamb by the litter. Most other sheep give birth to singles and twins, while the Romanov average about 2-5 lambs per lambing. When the lambs are born they are pure black but when they get older they turn gray. Romanov wool (a mixture of gray wool and black guard hair) is used for rugs, mats, and wall hangings.
The breed is currently raised mainly for meat production, but it is also pretty good for wool production. Wool of the Romanov sheep is very strong and resourceful. Their wool is double coated with mean diameter of wool fibers of 20.9 micrometers and 71.9 micrometers of outer-coat hair. Average greasy fleece weight is around 4.5 kg.
ROUGE DE L’OUEST SHEEP
It is the result of a cross of local breeds from the West of France with English rams. A long-established breed, the Rouge de l’Ouest combines qualities of breeding with beef qualities.
