The
Charolais breed of sheep also originates
from the Saône-&-Loire department.
This breed has resulted from the selection
performed on the local ovine population
within the Charolais region as of the
beginning of the 1960's. Official recognition
was bestowed on the breed in 1974.
The Charolais sheep is especially reputed
for its outstanding conformation and excellent
meat-yielding qualities. It is not only
produced in France on many cattle farms,
but also in numerous other countries.
The Charolais has become the most widely-exported
ovine breed in all of France.
