What are four characteristics of Limousin cattle?

Answer 1

Some breeders have been focusing on creating cattle with a more calm and docile temperament, trying to get away from the all-too-well-known ability of most Limousins to be flighty, aggressive and quite nervous that is still a common thing in most animals to date.

Answer 2

Limousin are considered to be one of the best and most impressive French beef breeds out there, next to Charolais. They have been raised in a harsh environment where they've been naturally selected to be easy calving, great mothers and good foragers. They're an excellent terminal breed, or a breed that can be crossed onto mixed-bred cows or even heifers to produce calves that are great for being the meat markets. Limousins are also considered an ideal maternal breed which can add a bit of weight and size and even a little character to offspring of a commercial cow-herd. In France, Limousin's are considered as the "butcher's animal" because of their excellent carcass characteristics.
