About the sponsor

The Bleu du Maine is famed for its mothering ability, thrifty lambs, prolificacy and milkiness, and when crossed with a Beltex produces a truly bespoke carcase quality. It has the conformation of a Beltex and the stretch, lift and length of a Bleu du Maine.

To discuss this remarkable cross, call the society on 07388 848 653, or email breeddev@ bleudumaine.co.uk
