[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1128230, member: 14661"] I had twelve limi calves this year out of tow truck born to first calf heifers. I promised a customer that I would give limis a try(a second try with known genetics) and I did. They shipped early alongside the rest of my calves due to the drought but I liked what I saw... especially when I take into consideration that tow truck is not a big time growth bull and they were all on first calvers. None of the calves were standouts but they fit right in with the angus calves and out of twelve lim sired calves I shipped twelve calves and I didn't have to help any of them anywhere along the way. :nod: I liked that a lot. Disposition wise, with tow truck at a 27, I would not hesitate to go down to single digit dispostions in future breedings. Those calves were as quiet as anything else by weaning time. I do think that I would have lost two of them if they had not been so determined to live as the heifers didn't help them much but they just stuck with it until they got it and grew without much help. I can't say that I'll keep using limousin genetics but I like what I saw this time around much better than what I've seen in the past. [/QUOTE]
