[QUOTE="Rain, post: 33396, member: 453"] Hello JR, You sure hit a nerve. I don't think you would be alone with the type of Limo's you had. 8) 8) The difference seems to be some people are just seeing the final result (a carcase win) and ignoring the difficulties on how to get there (your on ground experience as a producer and Handler). A Frenchman told me once how the Limo got to be what it is. What I might call a fairly sensitive switched on set of eyes,ears and feet. Well apparently the Limo was deliberately selected for an ALERT disposition to improve its third use as a Draft animal. In past centuries people who were close to the french villages had good access to the 'fresh milk supply' with a steady plodding type of Draft cow in the cart. That range was limited to about 3 - 5 miles, so farmers further out were not able to participate in the lucrative fresh milk market. They required a faster animal that could trot and to do that well it needed to be able to react faster with its eyes and senses, while still remaining in control. Close stall handling can do that. Now a days that same bunch of genetics is let rip without the manners. [/QUOTE]
