[Agrivator]

One of the most docile breeds, but lacking a bit of milk.

STOP SHOUTING!!

I suggest you do the fences to a high standard before you buy any

 

[M-J-G]

Good shape, slower growing than some, faster top speed than most, fairly low on milk but ok if crossed with a dairy but I found them a bit thin skinned and lean for cows.
At least they have a reasonable choice of polled ones now, which is a bonus.

Black lim x dairy female is hard to beat in most lowland situations imo. Can cross to any bull well which is an advantage. Heifers out of them make decent replacements either 3/4 lim or any other breed. Going purer will lose milk unless careful on selection and sire choice. Some pedigree/pures can be batshite crazy but just kill the nutters and keep back from the quiet ones same as anything. Decent shaped and possibly the most versatile cattle to sell store or finished.

Not so sure on fencing being overkill , we got one strand of hotwire round and they soon respect it when they had a kick off it and netting in hedge for calves

[Hilly]

Most corrupt feked up breed society this millennium, pick another breed any breed

 

[mtx135]

I like a Lim X, as for pure Lim lovely shape and easy to sell. Just make sure everything is tied together with a tractor behind it when you wean, and I mean tied and pinned and high.

..........and another piece of advice. Avoid any Lim cattle with the Jaegerbomb bloodlines.........

Thought you were just going to leave Ur advice there

 

[choochter]

My few Limousins definitely aren't. And neither are my Bazadaise.
Presumably that means you can select for good temperament.
