[QUOTE="farmer rich, post: 111281, member: 1952"] There are probably more welsh black in wales than anywhere else, though they are still a minority breed there too. In wales 45% of cattle born in 2003 were sired by a Limousin bull. That is according to the British Cattle Movement service figures. Every animal born in the UK legally is registered and has a passport so these figures cover 100% of the cattle population. Why are Limousin currently the most popular sire breed? Well, this is a combination of superior carcase traits, high pre and post weaning growth weights, exellent feed conversion ratios, superior conformation and calving ease. Highland cattle are used in a commercial context in a few herds in the same way as the Welsh Black, that is as a component of the comercial beef cow. They are extremely hardy and are used mainly in the poorest hill and scottish island environments. Aside from that they are popular pasture ornaments and are a common hobby breed amongst those who have more money than sense (although my wife wants one for the front paddock so this may soon include me).
