[QUOTE="franseen, post: 87874, member: 1443"] I have heard all of the problems about Limousin cattle being hard to handle. As a breeder of Limousin cattle I completely understand them. However you don't have to buy wild Limousin cattle. I would hope no Limuosin breeder who wants the breed to advance would sell them as breeding stock. We had some bad ones from the herd we bought to start out with. However with careful consideration we culled any animals with docility problems. Any bulls we used we look very heavily at their docility epd. When we kept a bull to use we kept him not only because of phenotype and genotype. He was from a very easy going cow and was very gentle himself. Limousin cattle can be very docile. Any Limousin breeder that tells you they can't be wild is lying. But docility is something progressive Limousin breeders have been keeping a close eye on for a long time. Plus the Limousin breed can give you some great advantages. If you want cattle that are well muscled, very efficient and a great cross on Angus cows Limousin cattle are a good place to look. All breeds have their faults. Breeders have to work to correct them.
