[QUOTE="LimiMan, post: 467520, member: 1310"] Why is the proposed branded hybrid seedstock product restricted to crosses of Limousin and Angus or Red Angus? R. Several reasons exist as to why crosses other than Limousin and Angus or Red Angus were not specified as part of the proposed brand. The primary reason was to preserve focus of brand identity, such that when commercial producers see the name they know the general breed makeup of the product. As discussed in the question above regarding percent blood requirements, restricting the breed crosses eligible for the label also provides for at least some level of homogeneity of biological type and appearance (solid black or red color with no white, dilution or spots and predominately polled). From a practical standpoint, it would also appear that by an overwhelming margin Angus and Red Angus are the breeds of choice to cross with Limousin because of how well the merits of these breeds compliment one another. Members are reminded that if animals are at least 25% Limousin and comply with proposed sire specifications, but are from breeds not specified under the label, they are still eligible to be issued "Hybrid Registration Certificates". Recording such animals is encouraged because offspring may qualify for the brand. As a side-note, even though not a part of the current NALF registry, Brahmousin represents a branded Limousin hybrid seedstock product. [/QUOTE]
