[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14140"] I have full blood? Limousin heifers/cows...some black, some red. I prefer the red Limousin...however...

I don't want to breed them to Angus... their next calves will be their second (If I survive the first calving without killing them with kindness and too much food)...
