[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5042"] Again, this will show my bias, but I'd personally not use Limos. I'd get much larger calves at weaning with a Charolais (Limos here average less than 500lbs at weaning, Charolais about 750lbs) and even with a few cents less per pound,(lighter calves bring more cents per pound) they'd bring considerably more per head. With a Sim/Angus female, I've seen very few calving problems due to very large pelvices (that spelling just doesn't look right to me) on the dams. I admit, this is my bias. It could also be that I've been charged by a heck of a lot of Limos and that's also in my mind... Remember, these are just my opinions, not gospel. Figure out what your market is, what you need and go from there! What works in my climate (Eastern Canada) will not necessarily work elsewhere! [/QUOTE]
