Information

Originating from the Southern Massif Central, the Lacaune is the leading French sheep breed, recognized for both its dairy and meat qualities. Its dairy variety is particularly famous for producing the milk used in the manufacture of the renowned Roquefort PDO, while its meat variety is prized for its tender, flavorful, and well-conformed flesh. Hardy and versatile, the Lacaune adapts to various territories and exhibits excellent reproductive capabilities. The presentation of the Lacaune breed at the Sommet de l'Élevage is an opportunity to discover an emblematic breed, a pillar of the French sheep industry, which combines cheese-making tradition and butchery excellence.
