| The Limousin movement in
Canada began in 1968 with the first imports from France. The popularity
of the breed spread quickly when performance testing in Canada proved
their worth to the industry. Many more importations followed
as well as an extensive grading up program. The early years of testing
through extensive government programs re-enforced the impressive breed
traits. They proved to have high fertility and the most efficient
production record of all the French breeds. An easy calving record
with the smallest average birth weight of all the continental breeds,
was one of the traits readily accepted as well as outstanding mothering
ability and good milk production.
