[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 156997, member: 220"] Don't shoot the messenger here, but you're not the first Limousin purebred breeder I've heard of with these problems. Apparantly the double-muscled breeds have had fertility problems...I can't remember what study it was that I read it on, will have to snoop around - but basically it boils down to heavily muscled females being less fertile than leaner muscled ones. Am speaking in a broad way on this, and definately as in all things, there are exceptions to the rule. (Okay, will definately expect some flack for typing that.) Isn't the scrotal circumference of Limousin bulls as a breed average much smaller than many other accepted breeds? Could be tied into that fertility problem. Just mulling things over. Take care.
