Our herd
Our aim is to produce Bulls that will be of the required type for Beef and Dairy herds with Muscle, Skeletal balance and Growth Potential and to produce Pedigree Females that will calve naturally and milk well.
Nigel has a number of bloodlines available by Gizmo, Nikos RJ and Parfait RJ, our herd sires. The French AI sires that have been used are Bresil MN RR VS, Hermes RRE VS ,Hercule MN RR VS, Navarre MN RJ, Liban RR VS, Inox MN RRE VS, Loustic MN RR VS and Jipsy MN RRE VS.
French genetics were selected as they have to come from a
Limousin Society that has been established for over 100 years.
In that time they have worked with the use of technicians
and breeders to keep improving the males & females with the use of
classification, scoring animals one muscles, skeletal values, locomotion,
temperament, confirmation, milk and calving ease backed up with genomic values.
This is a system that delivers practical and trustworthy advice of which bulls to use on heifers and the continuous improvement of females and bulls for retention and sale.
