i think we would all be proud £ to have bred this.looks a good heifer but doesn't look to extreme from what my dad took, maybe proper pictures add width, eitherway I'd be proud to of bred itView attachment 937730

Best of luck!Don't say that, my new stock bull is double q
That's what I thought. All the posters knocking her as a poor beast need to get to a live prime sale and see that it's crossbred heifers of her type that the quality local butchers are buying for their discerning clientele every week. Doesn't look too extreme or difficult too put finish on to me.looks a good heifer but doesn't look to extreme from what my dad took, maybe proper pictures add width, eitherway I'd be proud to of bred itView attachment 937730
Nahhhh, the last 80 000 was the auctioneer with balls of steel...My first thoughts were ???? What the heck, but there was someone else willing to pay £240,000 so shame she didn’t have twin somewhere!.
She definitely looks like a more moderate shape there, but the front feet look rather 13:45looks a good heifer but doesn't look to extreme from what my dad took, maybe proper pictures add width, eitherway I'd be proud to of bred itView attachment 937730
But have they, when I worked with Lims at college 25 years ago I wouldn't have said they were poor shaped, the breed was awash with Cannon at that time and they didn't lack back end.Its a real credit to the limousin breed how theyve improved so much....they have great conformation now....15 or 20 years ago they all had hind quarters like an ang....i mean poor hind quarters!
There is a downside to all the “progress” that’s been made in terms of confirmation with in the breed, 25 years ago every dairy farm going had a limo bull now I can’t only think of two local to me that still use one.
If i was breeding Limousins this would be a big concern to me given the continued contraction of the national suckler herd and the growth of dairy beef, of which nearly all will be either AA or BB. The most expensive stock should have reduced gestation lengths, improved calving ease and improved locomotion not double muscling as their best traits.... however this does not look good in the show ring and there lies the problem.

I'm all for a doodleA heifer's shape (apart from head, legs and feet) isn't a very good guide to its breeding value.
Otherwise, livestock breeding would be a doodle.
They weren’t that badIts a real credit to the limousin breed how theyve improved so much....they have great conformation now....15 or 20 years ago they all had hind quarters like an ang....i mean poor hind quarters!
I can draw an angus!I'm all for a doodle

Come on then Tony hart...I can draw an angus!
That's due to the our European grading, globally they aren't popular though.Limousin have held the top spot here for the most popular beef breeding bulls for 20 years
This doesn’t happen by chance
what have you been watching?Come on then Tony hart...
It’s the country that we farm in that we are interested in though.That's due to the our European grading, globally they aren't popular though.
