A year ago, I acquired 2 purebreed registered (NALF) limousin cows. I now have a purebreed bull, 5 months of age. A friend is bording the cows for me, as I live in a city and have little "rural" background.
I have the registration certificate for the original 2 limousin cows. I've read up on the breed, and could use some feedback in my decision making as to what their future. Both cows are 1300 + lbs, and are currently bred again (by purebreed black angus), so I've got 2 more calfs on the way this winter.
There's an auction barn within 50 miles of where I live, however "registred breeds" don't seem to matter to the buyers who attend. I am just not familiar with where to go in terms of a market to sell them. Personally, would only be interested in butcher 1 of them for personal consumption.
If anyone has any "words of wisdom," guidance, suggestions, etc. for this perplexed non-cow person, it would greatly be appreciated. In a nut-shell, I have no idea the value of what I have nor how to make wise decisions regarding their future.
Thank you.
