Limflex Bulls[Pics]

[limftw]

Been lurking around these boards for a few months and finally decided to join in on the fun. The following pictures are some yearlings that we will sell this April. Any inputs on what you like/dislike and what everyone looks for the most in a bull would be appreciated! These guys are ran in a blue collar commercial setting... no creep, and they walk to the summer permits at around 9000ft and walk back home in the fall.

What precent Limousin? That the thing with limflex the precentage of angus or limousin can vary widely. Welcome to the boards.

 

[Black and Good]

Nice calves! I like the second one.

 

[limftw]

First bull is 75% Lim/25% Angus

Second Bull is 19% Lim/81% Angus.

Third is 44% lim/66% Angus

The 75/25 bull and the 46/56 bull are paternal half brothers btw.

Hellova bull he's giving it 110%.

 

[3waycross]

NIce bulls for sure. I also like the second one. What altitude were they PAP'd at. 47 is kinda high. Where do you try to market a bull with that high a score.

Sounds like you are running them on the forrest in Colo?

 

[limftw]

A 47 PAP would be good for up to 7000 feet.

As for the 110% i realized it right after i hit submit and can't find a way to edit the post

We run our cattle on the Uncompaghre National Forrest. They are PAP'd in Delta, CO. I am not sure what the elevation is there.

I had a Balancer bull last year that PAP'd a 49 @ 7500 feet. He ran at 7500 ft for a year with no ill effects.
Luckily I found a buyer for him in Neb. He is doing great there.

Do you sell your bulls private treaty or in a sale. Are you going to the Angus sale in Delta this weekend?

 

[limftw]

No, we do our own bull sale. I want to make it but we have to clip 50+ bulls this weekend. Going to exhibit those three bulls pictured above at the Ag Expo in Cortez and have 2 bulls consigned to sell there as well.

Yeah i hate PAP testing day... sometimes it seems so random. We had a bunch of SAV Final Answer sons all PAP out below 40 for us last year and that was supposed to be a bad bull for PAP scores.

I really like the looks of your bulls. Especially the second bull, but I must ask about something. You are showing EPD`s on him. Do you have registration papers showing that he is a LimFlex? The reason I am asking is because he is outside the LimFlex guidelines. To qualify for a LimFlex he must be between 25% - 75% Limousin. If you have papers could you please give us the registration number?

I like the 3rd one best, Mr. 110%. He just looks the most "together" at this age. The other two look like they will come together as they mature, though.

You are right, cattle below 25% can't be registered as "limflex", but i'm not really sure what else i could call that cross??? We have a few ranchers around here that like to run high percentage Angus bulls so we try to keep a few around every year. So to answer the gist of your question the EPDs aren't official... they are calculated through Cattlemax.

@ MO_Cows the third bull is one of my favorites this year. Hands down one of the calmest and easiest handling bulls i have been around. The picture doesn't really do 87Y justice tho... that bull is super thick and long as a train. Maybe i will try to get some better pics, but he has been the favorite of everyone who has seen the bulls in person.
