    Newbie: Wondering why I don't see any crosses with Limis?

    I have been raised around limis my whole life, and my family has been raising limis for almost 30 years. Developing the docility epd was definitely a big step forward for the breed. As far as I am concerned, docility is a genetic defect. If they are crazy, there calves will be 80% of the time...

    Newbie: Wondering why I don't see any crosses with Limis?

    The Limousin breed has ignored some problems in the past, but I believe today's limi cattle bring a lot to the table. As far as the show ring, limis for the most part have the bone, muscle, and structure needed. They do get a little hard for the show ring, but that's also what makes them...

    Creeping Calves

    In the spring we use regular 12% calf creep when grass and cows are doing good. In the fall and spring when grass is short we use a grain ration that is about 10% protein, 3% fat, 15% fiber.

    Be Afraid!

    If you look at why the pork and chicken industry went to a vertically intergrated system, it was to make a more consistent and cheaper product. The consumer wants consistency. The difference in the cattle market is the fact that cattle eat grass, there is grass everywhere. You can put a chicken...

    Wow if it was up to peta animals would live in bubbles...

    If it was up to PETA and HSUS, there would be NO domesticated animals, yet on the other hand a top HSUS leader was quoted as saying that an ant deserves the same rights as his own children. They contradict what they say, and if people like Carry Underwood understood exactly what they want to do...

    Sign of the times

    I believe embreo transfer has its place, but I still believe in buying from people that have a breeding program and are dedicated to selecting for all the right traits, not just putting in embreos of popular genetics. It does seem though that more and more ranches are just buying and selling...

    Anyone ever eaten bone for dinner?

    From my experience, the showring and the feedlot are actually semi-related in what they select for. Isn't the purpose of bone so that a steer in the feed card can get up and go over to the feedbuck to eat without breaking a leg? Those pencil legged steers cost feedlots to much. Now I select for...

    Is milk a maternal trait?

    I will say that in our limi cows, bigger cows seem to be harder to breed back, and milk less than the more moderate framed cows. We have been raising limousin cattle since 1984, and we have seen this trend over and over. I have not seen the study about bigger cows giving more milk, but its never...

    What results can I expect from feeding Vitaferm's Sure Champ? Anyone use it?

    We have been feeding Shure Champ for around ten years, and I wouldn't change. The main thing I notice with it is how the amaferm helps keep them on feed. I definitely reccommend anybody to use it in there show feed. Cody

    Lautner's Hereford.

    Agreed 100% Jill! All purebred cattle have a place in the industry, and once we go to all low percentage, where's the difference? As a purebred breeder, I will never say that crossbred animals dont have there advantages, but if all the breeds go to marketing a "cross" instead of promoting and...

    Critique please!!! My son's steer so far

    From my experience feeding calves, I would put the calf on 3% of its body weight, so 22.5 lbs of feed at 750 lbs (Show feed, I would also hold the beet pulp). I don't like holding calves, but rather pushing them hard til the last 90 days then evaluating where your at and how far you need to go...

    Is everybody tired of heat detection?

    This year has definitely been a different year for heat detection. Several of our customers are reporting only getting one or two mounts on cows, and successfully breeding on those heats. When considering all the time spent checking heats, makes a system look pretty cheap. If anyone needs help...

    Best steak

    Hands down, best steak I have ever had was a bull we raised out two years ago. He was a red horned fullblood bull that we didnt get sold, so we butchered him at 23 months old. Yeilded 69% and you could cut the steaks with a fork. Cooked a few for some friends, they didnt believe it was a limi.
