[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5041"] I had use Charolais as a terminal breed, I will began using Limos for next year(breed rotation) in my comercial herd. I just began with the Simmangus cross, I A.I. some Simmental cows with Red Angus, for next year I will began breeding my first heifers. Do you have any experince using Blonde d'Aquitaine as a terminal breed? I have herd a lot of it that I A.I. some of my commercial Simbrah and some Romagnola with Blondes to see how it work. But as for know it's just theory what I have of this breed. > Again, this will show my bias, but > I'd personally not use Limos.
