[QUOTE="Gators Rule, post: 1128186, member: 15587"] I bought a limo calf in the early 80s to show at our county fair, and he was more deer than anything. Cleared...and I mean CLEARED our cow pen fences on Day 2 when I was going to try to put a halter on him. He ran about a mile down the road, and I was fortunate enough to catch up to him before he got to the railroad tracks by riding my bicycle and cutting him off. How I have no idea, but I did eventually get him back into the pens with some neighbors' help...and he had BY FAR the worst attitude of any calf I have ever laid my eyes upon. He looked amazing though would literally kick your teeth out if you touched him anywhere. That being said, to make a long story short...after a TON of work, this calf won a very tough class, won showmanship, and won grooming. At auction, he brought more than the grand champion. Would I have another like him? oh HECK NO..! LOL That's one war story of a Limo calf purchased, not raised. I have way more positive stories to tell about calves we raised (not bought) from our own limo bulls and females over the past 35 years. As farm as vigor goes, I would say they are about normal, and if the cow didn't raise a vigorous calf, the momma probably didn't stay too long, as we did cull the limos fairly hard for vigor, hardiness, and attitude.
