[QUOTE="polledbull, post: 415330, member: 574"] I would go with a black limousin bull on the cows you have described .You will get the extra sheath and skin cleaned up and you will be amazed with the way they grow. It seems that limi bulls clean up the skin better than most breeds on the first cross. As far as weaning weights,Angus will not come close to matching the limi on the cows you described. Angus just does not perform like the limi when it comes to pounds across the scale at weaning time.It is not uncommon to have weaning weights of 600 - 650lbs at 6-7 months old with adequate grass. I would not worry about disposition on a bull that comes from a reputable breeder and a modern bloodline.As a whole the disposition problem has been worked on tremendously over the last 15 years. We sale 30 limi bulls per year , and disposition is hardly ever an issue, they handle fine. As always , this is my experience and opinion, and I aint lookin a argument . [/QUOTE]
