Carcass lambs
Those commercial breeders who do choose to use Bleu du Maine as a terminal sire find that lambs produced have a high killing-out percentage due to its fine bone where heavy weights of lean meat are required. Wether lambs produced by cross breed females are also highly desirable due to improved conformation of the Bleu du Maine breed. The traits of prolific, easy lambing and hardiness associated with the breed are all reproduced genetically. A Bleu du Maine sire across a flock gives the commercial farmer increased quantity with quality and therefore increased output.
