[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 843364, member: 807"] Knersie and Just Simmental, personally I think the French did pull a fast one on some of the early Limousin breeders. Having said that, if you have seen some of the French Limousin herd in person, you will find all the animals to be large scrotaled beef and milk producing machines. Some of those early Limmy bulls were outstanding, but some where trash.I will still stand behind my statement that I think Johne's played a role in some of the problems in the early cattle... I have heard the figure of 45% of the dairy herd in the 80's where carriers of this disease... If you were a dairy farmer and you had a hard keeping 4 or 5 year old cow and some beef producers were trying to by receipt cows, think you would sell those hard keepers. You bet u would, you would probably even tell the buyer that the cow was a hard keeper...but she would give plenty of milk for the production of a calf. I am sure it was spread in other beef herds as well. It just happens that at the time Johne's was really being spread, Limousin was the flavor of the month breed. [/QUOTE]
