Of all the new composite breeds that seem to be popping up everywhere, which one interests or intrigues you the most?
I second that. If y'all have a pic of the X-breed, I certainly would like to see it.Baldie Maker":3k2b37yw said:do you have any pictures of the lim/hereford cross animals red bull breeder? post some if you do please..

Like alot of good crosses it got dropped for a black hide. Greenwillow has some relatives that still have some old Lim x herf cows.
Based on carcass merit I prefer Simm-Angus with the Angus as the Sire-- because it does make a difference --since after all 50- 60 % of the qualities for carcass value come from the Sire --not the Dam.Santas and Duhram Reds":3czyx3rs said:Of all the new composite breeds that seem to be popping up everywhere, which one interests or intrigues you the most?

He still has a couple (if I'm not mistaken) of his original F1 Lim Herf cows that were born in the eighties. Last time I was over there, I believe I recognized one or two from my youth. They were at least so old that he couldn't tell me just how old they were.
