Angus In Texas":2eq7ni3p said:Nice looking bull. Could use just a touch more depth at the heart girth. What is his breeding?
simangus23":1eekd9gm said:I hit the link and his numbers didnt come up. I imagine he is no different than any other Limmy bull on earth-
Limousin -- moderate growth
Very high lean, low marbling, low milk, late puberty
I have noticed in the feedyard that most of our Limmy sired steers Grade Select and Low Choice with a Yelid Grade of 1
Very low marbling kind of like eating an old rubber tire. Ok for the health conscious Yuppies, but for me, I prefer to actually eat a steak that is tender and tastes good.
A good Simangus bull would do well in your program looks like.

Look up this Simangus Bull offered by ABS (Starz)

Red Bull Breeder":12rhdmj6 said:You would think with all the talk about obesity in the good ole USA . The USDA would come up with a grading system other fat. Marbling has about a 5% effect on tenderness. Time on feed and aging have much more effect on tenderness. I guess a simanugus would produce alot more trim, fat marbling. But you can get that with a Limflex,if you want to use a crossbred bull. Limousin cattle will have muscle, preformance, milk,calving ease. And you can still get a red one. Maybe folks should quit trying to make there breeds look like an angus. Nothing wrong with a Limi if you want more butt on your cattle. Anyway good looking bull. Rember diffrent breeds have diffrent EPD numbers. If you are in the 18 to 25 milk number range,heifers should milk fine high 40s low50s for ww will get good ww weights. High 70s to to mid 80s YW should give you very good YW weights. Try a fullblood Limousin for more Hybrid vigor.
