[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 253927, member: 2095"] It could just be the few bloodlines that were promulgated here in Alabama that were nutcases. Maybe a few breeders did not castrate enough bulls.....I don't know. All I can say is that in my personal experience (and none of that is recent), the Lims were harder to handle and more dangerous than anything else I have personally come across (and that includes Gerts and F1 Tigers). I had one neighbor who crossed Lims and Gerts for about ten years and those calves and their MAMAS really were SPOOKY!! I did not get on the board and say that Limos were NUTS; just that all my experiences with the breed (crossed to Angus, crossed to Hereford, crossed to Charolais, crossed to Beefmaster, crossed to Gerts, or straight) was NOT GOOD. My original point being that Lims have burnt a lot of fences with a lot of cattle people in the past. Some older guy who remembers a lot of Hereford and ANgus dwarves probably ALSO has a poor impression of those breeds as well. Reguarding the color, I looked it up and at ABS 9 are Black and 4 are red. At Bovine elite, 29 are Black and 27 bulls are Red so the Blacks have not taken over the breed as completely as I had thought. I apologize for the inaccuracy; though even you must admit that angus looking Lims ARE becoming much more the norm in many places. [/QUOTE]
