Limousins are not the easiest to spot, unless you're in France or looking for the more traditional coloured type cattle and are not spotting them from the highway traveling 100 km/hr down the road. Typically the heritage-type Limousin cattle are a mahogany-red colour with light undertones in the underline, around the eyes, muzzle and extending to the inside of each leg. They are very blocky in bodily conformation, making them look like beefy rectangles on four legs with a head. They can be either horned or polled.
Recently in the United States and Canada Limousins have been bred up so that it's not unfamiliar to find purebred Limousin that are black like purebred Angus cattle or red like purebred Red Angus. This makes it difficult for the average person (even an experienced cattleperson) to easily spot and discern whether an animal is Limousin or Angus or a cross of Limousin and Angus called Lim-Flex.
