What is a "Vendéen"?

The Vendéen is a breed of sheep that originated in the Vendée region of western France. It is a medium to large-sized breed known for its unique appearance, characterized by a white face, legs, and belly, and a dense, curly fleece that can be either black or white in color. Vendéen sheep are known for their hardiness, adaptability, and ability to thrive in a variety of climates, including both temperate and hot environments. They are primarily raised for meat production, as they are known for their good meat quality, producing tender and flavorful lamb. Vendéen sheep are known for their excellent maternal instincts, and they are often used in crossbreeding programs to improve the performance and meat quality of other sheep breeds. They have a calm and docile temperament, making them relatively easy to handle and manage. Vendéen sheep are primarily found in France, but they have also been exported to other countries for their meat production and breeding purposes.
