Making Progress

摘要

As I write this in early September the new IGS genetic evaluation has just come out and the Limousin breed compares very favorably to the other members of the consortium. A highlight of this data is that Limousin now ranks number one in terms of docility as compared to the other beef breeds in the consortium.In the early 1990's Limousin breeders realized the breed had a problem and chose to address it. They tackled the issue straight on and developed the beef industry's first docility EPD. After approximately 25 years of careful selection for cattle with improved dispositions, the results speak for themselves.
