Limousin Today | |||
| Today Limousin is one of the largest in the world for beef production, and one of the five major breeds in Canada. Canadians take great pride in being Limousin seed stock producers, which they market around the world. In addition to Full French genetics, Canadian breeders have worked hard over the last 30 years to breed and market domestic purebreds, which have greater than 90% Limousin blood. Domestic Purebreds may be the traditional red/gold colour or black, which exhibit the same Limousin traits but carry the black gene for coat color. A significant number of Limousin cattle also carry the polled gene, which is a convenience trait but an important one for many markets. The Canadian Limousin Association carries the only Full French Limousin herdbook in the world that guarantees every single registered animal is parent verified by blood typing or DNA genotyping. This displays integrity and commitment on the part of our breeders and the association. |
