	Breeds of Livestock - Rouge de Roussillon Sheep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In the Eastern Pyrenees and some parts of the Aude and Hérault areas of France, there used to be a particular type of sheep, special because of its color and origin, something between the local 'Merino'-type sheep and North African breeds.
		In 1989, the 'Ferme Conservatoire' was perhaps the only place with the structure to take on a few of the last animals of the 'Rouge de Roussillon' breed, from the only flock where an effort had been made to preserve the pure breed.
		For this reason, we decided to implement an 'absorption cross-breeding' program between the 'Rouge de Roussillon' and 'Limousine' breeds, where the 'Limousine' male is used to mate with successive generations of 'Rouge de Roussillon' females.
