Comparison of Feed Efficiency and Milk Yield

 

That's an easy one.

Do you want to save time?  We will summarise it in one statement.

"More retail beef per unit of feed eaten."

You can read all of the linked articles listed on the left (at least read the history of Limousin and the CRC Results) but they will all tell you the same thing.  Nothing beats Limousin for practical feed efficiency.

On top of that, limos are tough survival beasts that have proven that they can adapt to almost any environment and thrive.  Their libido and moderate mature size ensures all the hard work gets done during dry seasons.  Plus the calves come easy, will put on more weight, finish at sensible carcass weights and are more marketable in both good and bad times.

Why Talana Limousins?

The Talana herd is run under commercial conditions to maintain the commercial benefits of limousin that have been bred into them since 1600 (that's right, 400 years of practical breeding - it would take generations to breed this practicality out of them).  We rarely feed supplements, all animals are expected to carry their own weight.  Benefit from one of the most rigorously selected and most ethically managed cattle herds in the country.  All Talana cattle are guaranteed to perform.


More meat per kg of feed means higher profit margins at all stages of the meat production chain.



Meat quality.  Why do butchers pay more for Limousin and Limousin infused beef?


Finish at sensible carcass weights.  Meet more markets with Limousin.


Tough, adaptable, practical cattle bred over the centuries to survive and thrive on low quality pasture.
