Yes Black Limo and his crossbreds were the best looking calves in the area. I had a few bull calves that almost brought a tear to my eyes to sell...they were so beautiful.What breed is he? Limousine?

Limousine my be a route I need to look at I've never gave them much thought tbh. Would there be a chance of getting red calves out of black and white face cows or Hereford? A cow herd just ant complete without a few Herefords lolMore T-Bones! LOL He was 2500 lbs in his prime years. 2100 when I sold him. His crosses had just a bit more length than an Angus and sure showed that hybrid vigor on looks and fast growth.
A homozygous black Limousin would throw all black calves from red cows.Limousine my be a route I need to look at I've never gave them much thought tbh.

Ky hills you know of any limousine guys in Kentucky?A homozygous black Limousin would throw all black calves from red cows.
From my research I've found that a limousine cross will almost grow as good as a Charolais. I found a study done by Oklahoma state university and from what I get from it there wasn't but just a few pounds different from weaning to slaughterI never put him on pure Hereford but had a few black white face, lots of Angus, and a couple Brangus. He threw several colors from the mixed herd. I wasn't too worried about color ...easy birthing, growth, disposition and market price were my goals.
I don't know for sure if any names now, as I no longer am a member of the KY Cattlemen's Association and don't receive their monthly publication. It used to have a breeder page for most breeds and a classified section. There used to be a breeder near Richmond, possibly one in Mount Sterling. You could google search that might yield a few results. I bought one a few years ago from a farm that used to run registered Limousin but at that time had not registered any for a while but maintained purebreds. Mine was a red one, had a great disposition and put out some good thick calves. Overall though the calves weren't much heavier at weaning than our Hereford calves and the largest calf that year was a Hereford.Ky hills you know of any limousine guys in Kentucky?
No. Use the same type of bull for consistency amongst your calvesGuys I've pulled the trigger on this bull hes a balancer 75% gelb 25% angus. He's in the top 5% for weaning weights. Next question is what if I ran 2 different breeds of bulls in my cow heard. This bull and a Charolais bull?
