[FarmerDanny1989]

Don’t suppose anyone knows the real identity of Ballinloan Jaegerbomb do they? Going to A.I a few cows to him in coming weeks.

Don't expect them to be registered with the Limousin society.

Won't that depend on who he puts down as the sire?

Surely the straws are ultra ultra cheap?

Wont matter for suckler cows, Surely to god no one will put him over pure/pedigree cows??????

There will be plenty of folk with pure, but unregistered cows. So why shouldn't they use Jaegerbomb.

 

[Purli R]

Fair enough, read it as pedigree cows then.

Perhaps if they wanted to keep those cows pure?

Iv a few pure lims (not registered) and blue x lims seen his calves on neighbours suckler herd and thought I’d give him a try. Just wandered if anyone knew how much % lim he was.

A guess would be anywhere from 93.75% (15/16) to 100%. And if you're impressed by your neighbour's calves, why not use him.

Can anyone identify any other breed of cattle or sheep where so-called pedigree animals won't have a touch of something else?

Luing, Salers, Beef Shorthorn, Charolais (and Charollais ), Angus, Hereford, South Devon, Lincoln Red, and countless others.

And the only purebred sheep in the world is supposed to be found somewhere on the plains in India. And maybe St Kilda.

Jaegerbomb is (was?) still a pure Limmy bull, it's only his pedigree status which was removed.

If you run a pure, but non pedigree, herd and used him or his semen... the resulting calves are still pure Limmy and can be sold as such.

Is he?

Is he?

Was he proven not to be?

I thought he had a large slug of BB blood?

I thought that was just rumours?

His daughters were all still sold as Limmy Heifers

Do you still call your sheep Lleyns, even if they were bred up from your original ewes, using Texel x tups?

A couple of Limmy breeders have told me that Jaegerbomb was believed to have had a splash of BB in there, not that he’s necessarily any worse for it as a producer of fat cattle of course.

Haha I hope you don't call your 'pedigree' sheep Charollais in that case!!!..



My foundation Lleyn rams were more Welsh Mountain than Texel - even had the hairy beards and Welsh accents (and names)!

But that's my point. If you're running a herd of 'pure' but non pedigree cattle then there is no issue. That beasts passport will still say Limmy.

Jaegerbombs daughters were sold as non pedigree Limmy heifers through H&H a year past in November, and sold very well. They will go on and breed more commercial Limmy bulls.

It is only an issue if you're wanting to play in the pedigree circus
