[QUOTE="kvcanes, post: 155905, member: 2937"] Hillbilly you beat me to the punch. I think a limmy bull would add more consistency to the herd in addition to adding pounds. I would not suggest a limmy bull however if you were going to feed the calves to finish. As for the "crazy limmy" debate, there are good ones and bad ones in every breed. However, limousine does have a bad rap for disposition. I know the limousine breeders have made a real effort to change the disposition of their breed and I think they have done a very good job. We run both charolais and red limmy bulls. The limmy bulls are great to handle and we've had absolutely no problems with them. If you are going to market your calves as feeders than you need to consider market dynamics. Consistency in weight and composition will bring you more money than large variations in color and size. For this reason I'd consider a limousine bull and probably focus on a red bull. The charolais bulls will give you more weight but you may lose this edge if your calves aren't consistent in color. I'm not familiar with the market dynamics in your area, but you may want to talk to the people that will be selling your cattle and get their opinion. [/QUOTE]
