Depth of flank is depth of flank. Full in the flank = fat. If u have a look at these pictures the animal lacks depth of flank & cuts up. I would imagine if you look at these animals from behind they would also cut up at the twist (udder/cod) More depth = more weight

Great looking cattle & excellent heifer prospects.

Like cow #102 Pinzguaer or old fashioned Maine Anjour can breed the skunk stripe.

Nice fresh calves however I'd like to see a bit more thickness through the hind quarter & more depth of flank.

I'm guessing tag # 194 isn't him :help:

I like utilizing hybrid vigor but personally I think both these bulls lack depth and muscling. Just my opinion but you did ask. It also looks as though the older bull has done in tough at his new home as he hasn't grown out & is all big headed.

They are big cattle. Was originally bred as draft bullocks in Italy. From my experience with them temperament is a problem & of course I believe they are all horned??

Granted continentals of any kind are generally a little heavier birth weight than an Angus, however it's the shape & how the weight is disturbed in the calf. Generally Limousins X calves are born like skun rabbits. All legs & length & on average (with the exception of a few modern day Black...

It is what my target market wants. We produce grass finished (alfalfa) Limo X Angus milk vealers turning them off finished for slaughter at 10 months @ 350-400kgs (770-880lbs) Steers & heifers not finished are weaned & sold to a feedlot (short-fed 60-90days) I appreciate this wouldn't be for...

The best breed or cross is one that suits your pastures, environment & management & fits the desired market you aim to meet. For me this is Limousin (Continental) over Angus (British) cows. So many benefits in this direct hybrid vigor with the Limo benefit of muscle.

Sorry I attempted to delete this post as I posted it on the wrong board topic.

Anyone know anything about this Limo sire? Has anyone used him & have progeny on the ground.

Old Kruggerand did alright & so did Harvest Olympus phenotypically but docility wise u had to watch him

Polled & French! Just what we need over here. What's his breeding & numbers like?

That is nice, however there is one certainty now....you or your son will return to buy cattle in the future. Now that's marketing! Nice all the same

I really like BB as mums. Probably some of the best around, however putting a SIMM or Limo straight over British is the simplest & easiest way to add gain on your progeny going around which = $$)

The greatest hybrid vigor is when u cross 2 opposite breeds ie. Continental X British. Hybrid vigor amongst the British breed won't achieve big change but only open up the gene pool, which is health.

Agree with this statement. Our warm environment enables us to finish Continental X British calves off of grass where often straight bred British heifers would run to fat. It's not for everyone I'd admit but so isn't straight SH. A lot of the SH in Australia are big long legged things that...

This is going no where. I agree with RBB. I did see that feedlot trial and that is an amazing result for SH. Pity not many are feedlot in this country. If you don't go much on yield how do you ever make money out of breeding beef cattle. Yield even dictates live body weight and weight in king

Without continuing this argument I will answer your questions: Perceived Maturnal type: Long, extended, easy keeping, milky & structurally functional. I also like deep bodied, capacity type females as at the end of the day u still breed em for meat even in a Maturnal herd as you put it...
