[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1174794, member: 9096"] I am excited to see what our bull will produce for us.. I know that Limos are known for good carcass quality and meat, but that's hard to judge while the animal is alive. I know that my SH/GV cross steer I sold to a friend that was butchered at 30 months was excellent, the butcher said it was some of the nicest meat he's ever seen, and he was fed on grass only (and a bunch of thistles and burdock). I kept a very closely related sibling of his who looks like he should be outstanding as well, Starting with his carefree disposition that means he doesn't get stressed out about anything (even weaning). I will say our Limo bull is like a giant steer as far as his disposition goes, very laid back and a big baby who comes around for a neckrub once in a while. I will say I'm hedging my bets with him though until I see how his calves perform, he has a lot of frame, nuts, and butts, but not much gut. I think he may do well with some of my cows (Most of the stout GV crosses), and miserably with others (the frameier ones (the predominantly SH crosses)) [/QUOTE]
