The French Limousin...Limousin breed seLecTion in FrAnce > The most reliable breeding programme in the world
> 153.000 dams in performance testing
> Progeny testing on each sire distributed
A unique breeding progrAmmeSelection pressure taken to extreme lengths to achieve excellence :
eXceLLenceThe best genetics
in the world
reLiAbiLiTyAnimals with proven and
reliable potential
diversiTyA range of different bulls
which satisfy all expectations
Further to these results, only the best 5-6 bulls are chosen to become AI bulls
progeny TesTingWe are the only ones
to do it! No bull is distributed unless
his progeny has been tested on station.
With the on-station testing, the environmental
effects are controlled. What is measured is the real genetic potential of
our sires.
Selection on pedigree
On-farm qualification
Individual testing
25 daughters per bull are tested on station for their maternal qualities
(Calving ease, fertility, milk)
Hundreds of sons are tested on farm for their
beef abilities(Growth, conformation,
muscular development, fat)

And you still keep the advantages of maternal qualities :
> High marbling level
> 100% polled animals
combine ALL The AdvAnTAges!Benefit from the exceptional qualities of the French Limousin breed :
> Moderately-sized calves which give very good calving ease
> Early-developing strong muscular and skeletal development
> Excellent conformation
> Very high carcass yield
> The highest feed efficiency of all the high production breeds

hoW much do you eArn ?The feed is the most expensive item in a livestock farm : think about feed efficiency
Crossing with the French Limousin enables you to save $13.5 in feed, for each 100kg of carcass
Feed economy obtained thanks to the French
Limousin in comparaison to the Angus, for 100kg
of carcass
Diet : (from weaning to slaughter)
- 3.00Mcal of metabolisable energy (ME) / Kg of dry matter
