He perhaps got a false take that they weren't limmys cos they hadn't jumped the fence and started pawing the ground

Getting my European cattle mixed up ,

How about Gelbvieh?

 

[mixedfmr]

Well just a thought. The question implies its not THE OBVIOUS
Summer grazing tack cattle being loaded for home at the end of the season, and a Limmy didnt want to leave, broke out, jumped two fences into the LAST field.
One more fence was a water jump
The last fence was a water jump with a 300ft drop
Luckily it thought better and came back

How about Gelbvieh?

Very similar to gelbveih in stature but with those paler bits round the eyes I’d still say it’s a French type lim don’t think they have the dark red Belgian blue shapes over there

 

[Devil's advocate]

There was me thinking Salers, but not argueing I thought they were too leggy for limmys.

l try and avoid limx, since we had an 'experience', bought an i/c hfr, knew l had made a mistake, when loading.

put it in with a housed bunch of cattle, fine, till it calved, got it into a pen, where it went nuts, killed the calf. Left it a day or two, to calm down, barricaded the yard, so l could get it in with a batch.

up the dung ramp, under the bar, over the spreader, and gone.

despite looking/ringing around, no sighting for 5 weeks. Eventually sighted on a local shoot, they would see her enter the wood, never saw her come out, when beating through.

next accurate sighting, couple weeks later, grazing the lawn, at the local manor house. Still no sight when out looking for her. Next, very close to main A road.

rung insurance, to see if we could claim, if we shot her. No, but would be covered if it caused a pile up on the A road.

narrowed down an area she travelled around, mate came out with a .347, shot her at 400 metres, and reckoned he was lucky to get that close, 3 hedges and two water ways between them.

hung her up, she had been eating OSR, meat was tainted, curried the lot.

never been over keen on limo's since, helped a few other chases, as well. We do have a few young stirks about, they seem all right, so far.

Salers generally darker, and without the pale bits

 

[AftonShepherd]

Agree probably Lim, but ...

Too dark for Blondes?

 

[Whitepeak]

Yeah, too dark for Blondes. They don't have the range of colours on the continent that we seem to have in the UK.

I'd say they are Limousin going by the face of the one looking at the camera

 

[Whitepeak]

How about Gelbvieh?

Aren't they more of a yellow colour?

 

[Aspiring Peasants]

I’d say they are Limis, right soft things

How about Gelbvieh?

Ears are too small to be a Gelbvieh

 

[M-J-G]

Aren't they more of a yellow colour?

They vary from the colour of a pale blonde to almost red, the yanks have black ones now.
Only in America do you get a black yellow cow

Thanks I've never seen one in the flesh.
I remembered Gelb was yellow from GCSE German

Everything in America is black, even Simmentals are all black over there!
