2 29TH ANNUAL PRIME LIMOUSIN CLUB BULL SALE

WELCOME What an exciting time to be part of the Limousin Breed! Natural carcass yield and high efficienc y have never been more important, and Limousin continues to provide the natural muscle advantage.

With Limousin cattle topping the market at record breaking prices, this is a great time to try Limousi n on your herd!

Over the past 28 years we have continuously improved the bulls for offer in this sale, and this set of bulls is no exception. On offer this year are a strong set of 2012 and 2013 born bulls with a variety of genetics and phenotypes to work in any herd.

This year there will be a total of 43 bulls for sale, including 22 yearlings, 5 long yearlings and 16 two year olds. There are black bulls, red bulls, homozygous polled bulls, TT bulls, heifer bulls - bulls that will work for every program.

We have a couple of exciting changes for this year’s sale. We will be working with Vold Jones and Vold for our online auction this year. Bull videos will be available on the VJV website prior to the sale so you can bid with confidence and the sale will also be broadcast live online with real-time bidding.

We have also welcomed a new guest consignor to the sale this year. Fouillard Limousin have been breeding Limousin cattle for a number of years and for those looking for an off age bull they have a nice set of long yearlings for sale..

Once again the bulls will be in the barn on Friday evening for viewing. Please plan to join us early on Saturday for a pre-sale lunch and to stay after the sale for some Prime Club hospitality.

We look forward to seeing you on March 15!

EXCEL POLLED HONEY

Zuzu is a lot like all the Xtra Charge calves we had, just a year older, very docile, larger framed, and big testicles that measured 41cm this fall. This smooth double polled bull is really going to sire a group of calves that will be stamped with consistency. XLR 8A ( Lot 34) is a ¾ quarter brother and is actually very similar in make. Zuzu is soggy made with a long spine and will definitely put extra pounds on your herd. We have already grown him up now you can put him right to work.

Zoltin’s father, Xpectation, was a sire we used in our heifer pen for 2 years and we also gave him the opportunity to breed some of the better females in our herd. Zoltin is the best of the whole bunch, black, smooth double polled and a maternal half-brother to XLR 14A (Lot 36) he is a clean made bull with a top notch pedigree to go with his strong muscle pattern. He can go to work right away on a larger group of heifers or young cows and have healthy, good-looking calves. Zoltin’s calves will have excellent growth once they get going and he would add some quarter to a group of British based females while still keeping the muscle of a Limo.

Limousin bulls have been used since 1986 on my 150 head of crossbred cows, consisting of Limousin/ Simmental and Hereford. The results have worked well providing a solid color and fleshier calves with bigger butts - bigger butts are where the meat matters. The longevity of the Limousin bulls and females are a very important part of my program. The Limousin bulls are used on both heifers and cows with no problems.

Erwin Gaal

UNDERSTANDING EPD’S Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are the most reliable predictor of an animal’s genetic merit, and the most powerful tool that is available for making genetic progress. An EPD predicts the difference in performance of future offspring of a parent, as compared to progeny from other parents, when each are bred to mates of equal value.

The observed performance of an animal is determined by both genetics and environment, so EPDs only predict differences due to genes passed on from parent to offspring and actual performance will vary based on the individual animal’s specific genes and environmental factors.

By comparing an animal’s EPD for a given trait to the average EPD of all animals in the breed, you can determine if the animal is above or below average and whether they will add desirable traits to your herd.

For Gestation Length and Birthweight, a lower number is more desirable indicating a shorter gestation/ lower birth weight. For all other traits a higher number is more desirable.

New this year, we have included a Docility EPD for all bulls. Docility has proven to be a highly inheritable trait, so a bull with a high docility number can quickly make a difference in the temperament of your herd.
