This sheep is considered to have the largest milk capacity, with the main purpose of producing the Serra da Estrela\u2019s cheese (DOP), but also serves the aspect of meat production along with Serra da Estrela\u2019s lamb (PDO). This local breed is increasingly important in the economic and social component of a vast region because it is closely linked to a culture that has endured for centuries.<\/p><p>Serra da Estrela\u2019s Bordaleira sheep is the only existing local breed at Madre de \u00c1gua Cheese Factory \u2013 Serra da Estrela, it ensures the quality in the production of the cheese. For this purpose, the pasture is closely followed as well as regular inspections and tests are made to ensure the highest milk quality.<\/p><p>Over the years, the breed has been improved, as far as the milk production goes, considering the renovating of the best males and females of the best milk producing sheep.<\/p><p>To make this possible a dairy contrast is made, consisting on the individual measurement of each sheep, once a month in adults for five months and the calved sheep the first time for three months. Madre de \u00c1gua Cheese Factory \u2013 Serra da Estrela best sheep at 150 days has a production of 514.1 liters of milk with a daily average of 3,022 liters.<\/p><p>At Madre de \u00c1gua Cheese Factory \u2013 Serra da Estrela the control of the reproductive cycle is also made, taking into account the best pastures that arise in early autumn. The gestation period of a sheep is 5 months, sending males out on 15 of March. At the beginning of their milk production, the sheep have to be milked twice a day, morning and evening, not exceeding 12 hour pauses. It takes 5 liters of milk to produce 1 kg of cheese.<\/p><p>Without good nutrition it is impossible to invest in native breeds and in their improvement, as in the case of the Bordaleira sheep, so important to the economy of the region. Therefore it is necessary to cultivate highly nutritious forage. Pastures are the natural and main source of food of the Madre de \u00c1gua Cheese Factory \u2013 Serra da Estrela sheep, but also hay and a grain supplement. It is through their food that you get an excellent quality milk and meat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
