Why Limousin?

LIMOUSIN ADVANTAGE

Limousin is now Irelands number 1 suckler dam , and the UKs no.1 beef breed for the 12th year in a row !! Why you might ask ? For the suckler farmer using a limousin stock bull or limousin ai on his limousin cross cows the LIMOUSIN ADVANTAGE is visable from day 1 of the calfs life , the calf is born easily and up and sucking within minutes of birth (and growing!) , the cow is put through the minimum of stress no knives , jacks or tractors involved and cleans naturally , is clean and unharmed internally and ready to go back incalf quickly .

The limousin sired calf has some future ahead of him/her and truely a calf for all markets the heifers can be kept as top quality replacements , sold as replacement s , fattening for the local butcher or exported to europe all these markets are real and vibrant fot limousin sired females . The males again are very suitable for export or for slaughter and will achieve top grades for sure . NO OTHER BREED OFFERS SO MANY MARKET OPPORTUNITIES OR IS SO FLEXIBLE .

For the dairy farmer again limousin delivers , easy calving and excellent growthy well confirmed calves , males suitable for slaughter young or old and females for slaughter market or of coarse as superb replacements for our national suckler herd .

LIMOUSIN DELIVERS DONT BE FOOLED BY THE ODD EXCEPTIONAL CALF FROM THE OTHER BREEDS , WE DONT HEAR ABOUT THE DEAD ONES OR THE SCREWS LEFT AT HOME .IN FRANCE PER 100 COWS LIMOUSIN PRODUCE THE MOST KILOS OF MEAT PER ANNUM !!( heres why .... highest % of live calves up and growing as soon as they born , lowest days back to the bull due to no hardship during calving , high growth rate calves with excellent meat to bone ratio , limousins are excellent mothers , genetically limousin is a high fertility breed , need I go on ? )

Limousin as a breed are improving year on year for docility with limousin pedigree calves being scored for docility in ireland for more than 10 years now , and irish breeders only using high docilty bulls with wild cattle and wild lines being eliminated .MOST IMPROVED BREED IN IRELAND FOR DOCILITY !

In the show ring whether commercial or pedigree nothing compares to the style and shape of the limousin , with the black limousin heifer being the queen of the commercial show ring in UK and IRELAND . Nothing compares style , lenght , good legs , excellent shape and eye appeal .

Limousin is an ever improving breed , and a very competitive breed with all breeders striving to be the best and have the best cattle , from the massive french beef and maternal program to our own irish breeders using the top genetics available , eurostar indexs and blups to keep this intense breed improvement alive and well .

 When purchasing a limousin bull as a commercial farmer all i can say is "your wish is my command !" If you want extreme muscle to compare to the blues its no problem , do you want the growth of the charolais again we have the bulls to do this , or a maternal bull ? we have them from France or UK proven milk and maternal bloodlines , or what about all of the above .... NO PROBLEM ...again no breed has such a wide range of genetics available .

Again very importantly the limousin stock bull will have no problem getting your cows incalf for you with minimum of fuss and will last you many years .

 LIMOUSIN A TRUELY MODERN ULTRA FLEXIBLE BREED , LEAN ON LIMOUSIN FOR SUCCESS !
