Four of these breeds are submitted to more or less intense selection the Berrichon du Cher BCH Blanc du Massif Central BMC Charollais CHA and Limousin LIM the other two breeds are under conservation the Roussin de La Hague RLH and Solognot SOL . Genealogical data of the recorded animals born from 1970 to 2000 and of their known ancestors were used. The most balanced contributions of the different flocks to the sire-daughter path was found in the SOL. In the BCH a single flock provided 43 of the sire-AI sire path whereas the contributions of the flocks were more balanced in the BMC and LIM the only other breeds where AI is used to a substantial amount . The distribution of the expected genetic contribution of the founder animals was found to be unbalanced especially in the BCH and LIM. The effective numbers of ancestors founders or not for the ewes born from 1996 to 2000 were equal to 35 BCH 144 BMC 112 CHA 69 LIM
