Abstract	Bordaleira de Entre Douro e Minho is a NW Portugal autochthonous sheep breed used primarily for meat production. This breed is chosen by its local origin, rusticity, and financial support by European agricultural subsidies. There are two varieties in this breed: "Varzea" in the valley and "Monte" in the mountain. To characterize the Bordaleira production system, a survey was carried out to 70 farmers (42 on "Varzea" and 28 on "Monte") with their animals registered in the herdbook. The Bordaleira breed production system is commonly used by elder farmers, with a low level of socio-cultural background and literacy. The small size of the farms (3.58 ± 4.76 ha of arable land), the poor stable conditions, the low degree of mechanization, the low technical support and poor commercialization practices are limiting factors to the development of this production system. This breed has a clear lambing season from September to February with a weaning age of 4 to 6 months old (8 to 12 kg live weight). The sheep feeding system is extensive, based primarily on sylvo-pastoral resources. Ninety three percent of the "Monte" producers utilize daily grazing in areas of uncultivated communitarian land (baldios).
