[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 671595, member: 951"] NALF has had a program in place for percentage Limousin cattle for I know at least the last 20 years. No matter what breed was used at different times you would be able to breed animals back up to purebred status when a bull reached 93% and a female 87%. A couple of years ago NALF decided to start a LimFlex program. We were one of the last breeds to do this as Simmental, Gelbvieh and others did it way before us. The guidelines are they must range somewhere between 25%-75% either Limousin or Angus to qualify to be called a LimFlex. Anything other than that will be a percentage or Fullblood. As far as the poor milking issue that would probably have been more true about 15-25 years ago looking at the breed as a whole vs. some of the other breeds. Its not the case now overall but just as there are many other breeds that have poor milking bloodlines the Limousin breed still has a few bloodlines that do not milk great. Circle H Ranch [/QUOTE]
