Chairman's Message

write this Chairman's Welcome for the special 50th Anniversary edition of the Limousin Journal having only recently taken over the role of Chair in October 2020. Being Chairman of the largest beef breed society in the UK is an honour and a privilege. I would like to welcome Will Ketley, our new Breed Secretary, to the Society and thank the Council for their support since my appointment as Chairman. Two of my favourite Winston Churchill quotes are "I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else" and "It is wonderful what great strides can be made when there is a resolute purpose behind them". With these famous words in mind, during my time as Chairman, I will endeavour to use my passion and enthusiasm for the Limousin Breed to move the Society forward with honesty and integrity in the interests of its Members. This edition of the 2021 Limousin Annual Journal includes tributes to some of the history, people and cattle who have made their mark over the last half century and the Society's grateful thanks goes to past and present Members, and their commercial customers, who have supported the breed to its present-day place at the forefront of the beef industry. The Limousin breed has become the largest beef breed numerically because it delivers ‘what is says on the tin’ - ease of calving, natural hardiness, top carcase attributes and very good maternal traits. We must not lose focus of these key foundation features of the breed and continue to move forward by breeding animals that our Members can easily market. Finally, I would like to reiterate that myself and the Council are here to act on behalf of all Members and to continue improving the integrity of the Herd Book and versatility of our special Breed.

THE SOCIETY

Executive Committee & Council of Management

Breed Secretary's Message

o say the first six months into the role has been challenging in several aspects including Covid restrictions and the uncertainty with Brexit, would be an understatement. However, I look forward to 2021 with energy and commitment to drive this fantastic breed and society forward on its attributes and merit alone. 2020 has not been all doom and gloom for the Beef industry with prices continuing to increase in all sectors. The Covid restrictions have created a shift of consumers back towards the Butcher once more, which can only be positive for all parties concerned. This positivity in the Beef Industry can only be a good thing for the Limousin Society. The carcase breed that regularly achieves the market top spots because it is the ‘Butchers Choice’ as demonstrated in this year’s journal. The British Limousin is a great breed: flexible and versatile in all markets, pedigree or commercial, valued in every part of the supply chain and with a perfect balance of maternal and terminal traits. With Brexit, to all intents and purposes ‘done and dusted’, we should not underestimate the challenges still facing us in coming to terms with a new playing field which is designed to be both level and tariff-free. It has already created more criteria and legislation for the Society to address but hopefully we can move towards frictionless trade to the benefit of UK farmers, our EU customers and one which is not too harsh on our Irish counterparts. Albeit quiet on the show front, the journal this year is blessed with some excellent nostalgia of the Breed, marking our 50th Anniversary. The Limousin Breed has certainly achieved a huge amount since its humble beginnings in 1971 but equally, the Society and its Members can look forward with confidence to what the future brings. As and when the current restrictions allow, I look forward to celebrating our Golden Anniversary with all our Members and customers. I do hope we will get to celebrate with a series of events in 2021 but in greater style in 2022. As always, the Society’s staff, Council and Regional Clubs will do all they can to support all our Members and customers in the coming year. Will Ketley Breed Secretary

NORTHERN IRELAND PEDIGREE LIMOUSIN HERDS RECOGNISED IN VIRTUAL PRIZE GIVING

he results of the Northern Ireland Limousin Cattle Club’s pedigree herd competition were announced recently on The NI Limousin Cattle Club’s Facebook page. With the objective of the competition being to find, in the opinion of the recognised Judge, the best pedigree Limousin herds and individual pedigree Limousin animals owned and managed by Club members, the task of judging this year fell to Mr Derek Frew, Frewstown Herd, Co Antrim. Derek has over 30 years of breeding pedigree Limousin cattle and runs a successful butcher’s shop in Broughshane Street, Ballymena. This allows him to know exactly what is required in a beef animal and in his opinion Limousin fits the bill exactly. Derek spent five days in August travelling around the Province visiting the 24 herds entered. Plaques and certificates are presented to the first three places in each category.

LIMOUSIN COMMERCIAL HERDS REWARDED

he winners of the Limousin Commercial Herd Competition were also announced recently on the Northern Irleand Limousin Cattle Club’s Facebook page. This competition is a wonderful opportunity for the N.I. Limousin Cattle Club to highlight and reward some of the best local commercial herds using pedigree Limousin stock bulls or where the use of Limousin AI is predominant within the herd. The task of judging this competition was in the capable hands of Chris Johnston who farms with his father and brother outside Fivemiletown. Chris also travels across Ireland scanning cows, goats and sheep and does AI and embryo work which he finds works well with the family farm. 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category received plaques and special certificates.

REGIONAL CLUBS

Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give to fellow or upcoming breeders?

If you have a dream or goal go for it! It might take a while but with hard work and patience it will pay off. This is for the women in agriculture – we can do as much as the men and are strong enough the lead bulls around that ring. Believe you can and you will do it.

Q. In your opinion, what is the most influential Limousin of your time?

Good question, but I will have to say it has been Ampertaine Foreman. In my opinion, he is the best bull bred by the famous Ampertaine herd. He is a muscle machine with width, length and easy calving. His proven genetics are reflected in all progeny that enter the sales ring in the UK and Ireland.

Q. Which is your favourite agricultural show? Tara Williamson (nee O’Brien)

Secretary

Q. What is your background?

Growing up on a farm must be the best upbringing I can possibly think of. Learning to care, look after and love animals makes me the person I am today. I grew up surrounded by commercial show cattle and pedigree Belgian Blues with Limousin bulls always the sire of choice for the perfect commercial calf. I travelled up and down Ireland competing in agricultural shows every weekend during the summer. One weekend that comes to mind is the August Bank Holiday weekend where we would compete in 6 shows in 4 days and having to hand pick two teams for the overlapped shows. I have been involved in showing cattle in Northern Ireland for as long as I can remember but recently moved to Armagh in 2015 where I have been working with my husband and his dad on their family farm where we also breed and show pedigree Limousins under the Blackwater prefix.

Q. How did you get involved with the Limousin Breed?

I always helped friends groom and show cattle and the Limousin was the most popular one I would have worked with. In 2016, we purchased our first Limousin who went on to win Reserve Female Champion at the Balmoral Show. Since then we have increased to over 10 breeding females.

Q. What do you consider your greatest

achievement within the Limousin world to be?

My greatest achievement within the Limousins would be seeing our home bred cattle coming on and seeing the potential they have. Each year I hope they get bigger and better and that is the goal!

14 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

It would 100% have to be Balmoral in May time. Kicking the show season off with an action-packed week of preparing & showing cattle, judging ring side and meeting up with friends after the long winter months.

Q. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things could you not live without? ONE: Phone TWO: Tent THREE: Everlasting supply of drinking water

Q. If you could have dinner with three people, who would you choose?

The three people I have dinner with every night: my husband and two toddlers Mia and Tommy but that there is no messing from the toddlers at the table. That would be heaven!

Q. In your opinion, who are your biggest influences within the sector?

I have no one in particular that influences me but I am influenced by the entire body of Limousin breeders.

Q. Which is your favourite Limousin that you have seen?

Trueman Jagger on his debut show at Balmoral 2015 before going to Carlisle in October 2015 and fetching a world breaking 140,000gns. On his debut at Balmoral, I had the honour of showing him when he was tapped out Supreme Champion. I have never seen a Junior Bull with so much potential, exceptional muscling and plates to die for! Jagger’s genetics also stood out to me as he offers an alternative bloodline for so many herds, containing no Wilodge Vantastic in his pedigree.

www.limousin.co.uk

Q. In your opinion, what is the most influential Limousin of your time?

At the risk of upsetting any breeder, I favour Broadmeadows Cannon. Despite all the years that have passed, his descendants still feature in the herd register.

Q. What is your favourite agricultural show?

At the risk of showing bias, I prefer Balmoral Show. Sunny days in May and the smell of fresh cut grass prepare you for the year ahead.

Q. If you were stranded on a desert Island, what three things could you not live without?

Finbar O’Brien

Chairman

Q. What is your background?

By profession a lawyer. Having grown up on a farm it was inevitable that I would continue in that tradition. I bought a small farm in 1983 and that crystalised my farming journey.

Q. How did you get involved with the Limousin Breed?

A natural progression as a result of an innovative decision! Like farming, I have grown up with the breed. Many years ago (too many to count) my father took the brave decision to buy two of those unique red animals. All those years later he is still buying and the wider O’Brien Family are still rearing those distinctive red animals. The tradition continues in my own family.

Q. What do you consider your greatest

achievement within the Limousin world to be?

The most memorable achievement within the Limousin world has to be a Saturday in September 1996 when the O’Brien farm opened its gates to the wider Limousin community. On that day, 1000s of people from all over Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales descended on a hill farm in Ballard, Co Armagh. For me having that first (but not the last) opportunity to be an ambassador for the breed ranks up there.

Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give to fellow or upcoming breeders?

I believe that the best piece of advice I could give to fellow or upcoming breeders is ‘be true to the breed’. The Limousin breed is and remains the envy of all of the beef breeders. In my view, the only way that the breed www.limousin.co.uk

There are many things I could not live without. Excluding the obvious needs to sustain life and family • after a busy day in the office, going home and putting on my wellies • mobile phone - love it or hate it • the opportunity to resolve a problem

Q. If you could have dinner with three people, who would you choose?

Limiting my choices to Limousin circles and in no particular order: • Jim Scott, a kindred spirit. In my mind the oracle of all things Limousin. • The late David Thomlinson. We met more often in a professional capacity. His response under cross examination was always succinct and on the mark • Brian Walker, my principal, an ingenious problem solver and Limousin breeder

Q. In your opinion, who are your biggest influences within the sector?

By a country mile - the discerning customer. We must focus on their needs but preserve the breed.

Q. Which is your favourite Limousin that you have seen?

Difficult to offer a definite answer. Our local shows and sales provide a wealth of choices. Highlighting one animal would be a disservice to the many good animals out there.

Limousin Club Secretary Aileen Ritchie reports…

his year has been a strange year for us all, with most of our yearly highlights being cancelled. However, hopefully 2021 will give us all something to look forward to and the Scottish members will be back showcasing the best that Scottish Limousin genetics have to offer! One of our most anticipated events of the year is the Herd Competition which was this year ably judged by Richard Bartle of the noted Dinmore & Absolute herds. Alongside Gareth Lee of the Calogale Herd, they made their way across Scotland taking in the very best of what Scottish members have to offer! We had 25 herds entered this year and it was great to see lots of new exhibitors taking part. Congratulations to all the prize winners as shown below and thanks to all those who entered

Best 2020 born calf Marascoite Regan

for making it a very worthwhile competition. Over the summer, our exhibitors normally have the chance to gain show points at the various shows which go towards the Scottish Male & Female of the year. As we had no shows this year, we took to an online survey of the last decade of winners to see who would be crowned the 2020 champions. The Scottish Male of the Year was awarded to Messrs R&K Davidson of the Corsairtly Herd with Corsairtly Oswald - the 2019 winner. The Scottish Female of the Year was awarded to D&L Graham of the Burnbank Herd with Burnbank JoJo who is the only female to have won the award twice previously in 2017 & 2018. Well done to all the previous winners.

Ritchies Peryl - best 2019 born heifer

This year, the members had decided to give back and donate money to the RSABI. Their hard work and dedication are something that we can all admire and something that we are exceptionally grateful for. Looking ahead to 2021, we are optimistic that we can get back to our normal programme of events. Our annual Scottish Limousin Grand Prix is due to be held at the 157th Turriff show on Monday 2nd August where we have no doubt there will be a tremendous show on display. We also hope to get out and about with club trips and open days which will give everyone a well-deserved catch-up!

Q. How did you get involved in the Limousin

Helping my dad when I was younger, I got a heifer for my Christmas one year and saved some money to buy one from the Broadmeadows Dispersal a few years later.

The Limousin breed has been in my family for many years now, with my father and grandfather before me both being heavily with Limousin. They started the herd in 1979 and I was fortunate enough to be born into it and inherit their passion for the cattle which has only grown over the years with me.

Chairman Breed?

Q. What is the best Limousin you have seen?

I saw Baileys Ice Princess at Tullamore one year and she stopped me in my tracks.

Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give to fellow or upcoming breeders?

Vice Chair Breed?

Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give to fellow or upcoming breeders?

Q. What is your favourite agricultural show?

It would have to be the Royal Highland show or the Royal Welsh but the Royal Welsh probably just gets it.

The best advice I have for anyone is to just get stuck in, the Limousin family is a very friendly and welcoming one that loves to see new people join our breed as well as current breeders achieving their dreams. Get involved in as much as you can, come along to shows and sales and breed the cattle you love whilst enjoying doing it.

From my own experience, it would have to be Brockhurst Bolshoi, one of the best cows I have seen in the ring. She bred just as well as she looked – not all have managed that.

I would say that the most influential Limousin of my time, for me, would be Wilodge Vantastic. I am still young and could name other animals that have been greatly influential before him but most recently for me it would be Vantastic. He has definitely left his mark on the Limousin world being featured very heavily in so many pedigrees throughout the whole of the UK.

Never stop learning and don’t be afraid to ask for advice

Limousin of your time?

Limousin of your time?

www.limousin.co.uk

I could be slightly biased, however the greatest Limousin I have ever seen would have to be Ronick Janita. She was a huge, impressive cow that was well ahead of her time and would still stand up to competition today. I remember looking at her as a young girl and just thinking wow! How I would love to breed one like her again.

Q. What is your favourite agricultural show?

I would say I have a favourite summer show and a favourite back-end show. The Highland would have to be my favourite summer show being prestigious yet great fun and my favourite back-end show would be Borderway Agri Expo as it brings together people from all over and has a great atmosphere with so much going on as well and such great competition.

look at. We later purchased our first foundation female from their Sassy Lassie sale in 2014 – Emslies Ieryl for 15,000gns. We will always be grateful for their level of support and friendship throughout – and for answering my endless questions about the breed!

Q. What do you consider your greatest

achievement within the Limousin world to be?

My greatest personal achievement within the Limousin world would be last year at the Royal Highland winning the Best Limousin Cow class with a homebred heifer – Ritchies Meryl who is the first daughter of Emslies Ieryl our foundation cow with her heifer calf at foot Peryl. To win the trophy with our first homebred outfit being at the show was a dream come true.

Q. What is the best piece of advice you would give to fellow or upcoming breeders?

Don’t give up, speak to people, there’s always someone that has had the same experience as yourself, you aren’t alone and with all cattle breeding there are days of horror but that great feeling when you see the calves kick up their heels heading out to grass makes it all worthwhile.

Aileen Ritchie

Secretary

Q. What is your background?

I grew up just north of Aberdeen, my dad was a plant hire contractor and we would always have store cattle, which is where my passion for cattle started. We began showing commercial cattle and when I couldn’t bear to sell my heifers, we started a suckler herd which we dispersed over ten years ago. I then went to Craibstone Agricultural College and gained my HON BSC in agriculture during which time I established the Ritchies Limousin prefix.

Q. How did you get involved with the Limousin Breed?

I actually owe my start in the Limousin breed to Harry & Lynwen Emslie at Kinknockie Farm in Mintlaw. Harry saw my dad Wattie at the mart just in passing and said he had a nice wee heifer we should come and have a

This is a good question but it didn’t take me long to think what I consider to be one of the biggest achievements I’ve been in involved in here at Ashledge.

Chairman Q. What is your background?

The Limousin breed has been a huge part of my upbringing. My grandfather, father and uncle purchased their first animals from the Beachampton sale in 1983 creating the Ashledge Herd. Since leaving school in the mid-1990s, I’ve been involved daily with the breed and seen my involvement increase from days of Young Limousin Breeders Club stockjudging at the Royal Show. Here I enjoyed representing my Club area as an individual and in team competitions. This was a great way to meet fellow young breeders from all over the UK and Ireland. Plenty of those young breeders have remained friends today. From competing in competitions at YLBC calf shows in Carlisle and representing the UK Mainland in Ireland at the Ploughing Match, I thoroughly enjoyed my

Q. Which is your favourite agricultural show?

I wouldn’t like to say that I have just one favourite agricultural show as I’ve many favourites! They are all different in their own way. The Royal Show was always top of the list in my early days. The Royal Welsh needs no introduction having produced some extremely strong classes of Limousins over many years. It certainly takes some beating. The smaller local shows are also a great credit to the industry as the effort put in by all those involved is immense.

ue to COVID-19, the North East Club made the decision to cancel all events for the year to keep all the members safe. We held the first online timed auction through Craven Cattle Marts, Skipton with 55 Limousin cattle. Oddacres Osmond from the Mason Family, Embsay took top price of £4400, a 2018-born Procters Major son, sold to the Towler Family of Grindleton. The Masons also hit £3600 with a second 2018-born bull, Oddacres Opus also by Procters Major, sold to Wharfedale father and son, Bernard & Charles Greaves of Norwood, Otley.

£3600 Schofield top price female

Females topped at £3600 for a three-year-old cow from Craig Schofield’s Cheadlewood herd in Cheshire. She was sold with her three-month-old heifer calf at foot to James Penter of Litton. The Lowgate herd of Ian Brown sold five pedigree females at four-figure prices to a top of £2,400 for the heifer Lowgate Odell, a May 2018 daughter of Goldies Landscape, sold to Mark Crabtree of Kettlesing. The Club are hopeful that our two sales will go ahead: the Northern Limousin Extravaganza calf show and sale at Craven Cattle Marts, Skipton; and our annual club sale at Hexham – both in May 2021. We would like to thank all the sponsors that have supported these events over the years Our herd visits from 2020 have been postponed until 2021 – fingers crossed they can go ahead. These are to Andrew Burnett’s Spittalton Herd and C Lumb & Son, Barkisland Herd. The Club made the difficult

decision to cancel the 2020 herd competition due to our North East Club covering such a wide area which would of meant a judge crossing into 6 counties – North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, County Durham and Northumberland. This event has been sadly missed by members, but we are hopeful that it can go ahead in the future. Again, we would normally host the Limousin cattle stand at the Great Yorkshire show, a great place for breeders old and new to meet up. Unfortunately like all shows it fell victim to the Coronavirus outbreak but the Club and exhibitors are keeping everything crossed for the coming year.

Q. What is your background?

I grew up on the family farm in North West Durham. We have 140 pedigree Limousins, farm 1,000 acres of arable land and have a 32,000 free range egg unit.

Q. How did you get involved in the Limousin Breed?

For many years, we used a Limousin bull on our dairy cows, then in 2002 my Dad established the Cornsay Herd. After returning from university, I started attending Club meetings in 2009, was elected Vice Chairman in 2010 and then Chairman in 2012. In 2015, I was elected to Council and in 2020 took on the role of Treasurer.

Q. What do you consider your greatest

achievement within the Limousin world to be?

I’d say it’s a number of things: running our herd, showing at the Great Yorkshire Show, selling bulls and being involved in the Club and Council.

Q. What’s the best piece of advice you would give fellow or upcoming breeders?

Get to know fellow breeders and one of the best ways to do that is to join your local Club.

Q. What is your favourite agricultural show?

The Great Yorkshire - the atmosphere when showing and the Limousin stand that the Club run make it an enjoyable few days.

Q. How did you get involved with the Limousin Breed?

I help my parents on the family farm with our Oddacres Herd. In 1978, my family imported their first Limousin cattle from France, before I was born! We then continued to breed them, restocking from France after the Foot & Mouth outbreak in 2001. I have been Secretary since March 2010 of the North East Club following in the footsteps of my Uncle, Andrew, who was Chairman and my Dad John on the committee.

Q. What do you consider your greatest

achievement within the Limousin world to be?

My greatest most recent achievement had to be breaking the record price for a bull at Skipton auction mart in May 2019 with Oddacres Oswald. Oswald was just over 12 months old when he made 10,000gns. A proud moment for the whole family!

Q. Which is your favourite agricultural show?

My favourite agricultural show is the Great Yorkshire show. It is local to me and is the largest agricultural show in England. Over the years, I have been involved in showing both sheep and cattle and I feel it is an excellent showcase to the general public of British Agriculture and where our food comes from. The highlight of the show has to be the Limousin Cattle Stand, in prime position at the end of the cattle lines, it is a place for breeders old and new to meet, with the North East Club providing refreshments, an amazing selection of cakes, biscuits and buns donated by Members of the Club.

www.limousin.co.uk

REGIONAL CLUBS

Agricultural Show - the biggest one-day show in the UK with over 30,000 visitors leading it to being voted one of the UK’s favourite shows. The show is home to cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, alpacas and horses; doesn’t matter if you exhibit one animal or ten you are always welcome and people travel from far and wide to exhibit. Westmorland Show over the years has hosted a number of breed society national shows and in 2019 had the honour to host and present the Burke Trophies as the first non-Royal and one-day show. I have been privileged over a number of years to be invited to be a cattle steward at the show and in later years have become more involved in the show on being elected to be the youth representative on the Management Committee.

Q. In your opinion, who are your biggest influences within the sector?

My dad and granda are my biggest influences encouraging me to breed natural and honest-bred cattle with a calm temperament. As a family, we have bred cattle for a number of years and all our cattle have to be safe around anyone who may enter the farm. By all means, we do not have the best cattle in the sector but we have cattle that suit our farm and our facilities - run on a pedigree basis selling to a variety of commercial buyers. Other influences within the sector are fellow and past breeders who have offered help and advice other the years to help me develop my herd and my confidence. The herd competition judges over the years have offered a lot of sound advice around how to improve certain areas.

www.limousin.co.uk

Q. What is best piece of advice you would give to fellow or upcoming members?

The best piece of advice for upcoming breeders is breeding Limousin cattle is like building a jigsaw which takes a lot of time, effort and patience. I am still learning this now along with many other breeders! The jigsaw pieces are revolve around the compatibility of the dam and sire whether that is for milk, shape, ease of calving, temperament or to suit your farming needs. It takes a lot of time to find the most compatible bull to breed with the cows in your herd! Furthermore, money does not buy everything when breeding Limousin cattle - the highest price bull or cow does not mean they will be the best breeder or have the least problems in their life-time; in fact maybe the opposite. Honesty is the best policy when breeding cattle which leads to you establishing a good reputation as a breeder that people will buy off year in year out. Rectifying any problems with buyers also helps you gain a good reputation however big or small the problem. Last but by no means least…dream big and reach higher!

Limousin Cattle Breeders Club Secretary Diane Richards reports…

Diane Richards

Early Years

Having been brought up on a beef and sheep farm, and working from school, I have a keen interest in the beef suckler bred industry. I have lived on the Somerset Levels for the past 22 years and farmed with my husband Michael and children, Georgia, now 19 and Charles 16. I came from a large family having four sisters and one brother. From working on the Family Farm on the Blackdown Hills, the reality of livestock farming has never left me. With no passports, Red Tractor and all associated red tape, and having the desire to do more paperwork (can you believe it now!), I went to work part-time in the livestock markets at Taunton and Bridgwater. Working at first on the busy market days, followed with Taunton Market Auctioneers, predominately managing the Accounts and finally when Georgia was born, I was given the opportunity and privilege of working from home……...which is all the trend now!

Limousin Interest

Over the 23 years I was able to see ‘the other side’ of a chain in the Livestock Industry. In the early

26 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

1990s, I said to my father I would like to go to the Columbjohn Pedigree Limousin Herd Dispersal and purchased a cow and calf and the Limousin Breed interest has never left me. Living in a rich tapestry, life takes over and importance takes over. We farm beef and sheep on the levels commercially which suits the dispersed land we cover, together with working part-time with private farm bookkeeping accounts. I also enjoy flower arranging very much. The Pedigree interest is a pleasure and we have been able to appreciate the South West Limousin Breeders’ knowledge and achievements across the region. Michael and I have had so much pleasure taking Georgia and Charlie to the May and November Sales at Brecon as a day trip while they were growing up. In 2009, I was asked by Colin Hutchings if I would like to take on the role of Secretary of the South Western Limousin Cattle Breeders’ Club……………….and here we are twelve years later! Working with Colin as Chairman for the year, followed by Geoff Hollow for four years, Mark Quick for four years and Patrick Greed into year three. With two ideal Treasurers, Bill White followed by Caroline Nott and a great South West Committee, the ethos for me has always been to look at the South West Region, not as any particular area, but as a whole region.

Favourite Limousin

This has to be Foxhillfarm Naomi. Together with her breeding, style, conformation and presence, all hits the eye and deserves the recognition

Foxhillfarm Naomi Supreme Champion at the Royal Welsh Centenary Show in 2019

she has achieved.

Favourite show

With thoughts on my favourite Agricultural Show, and usually busy at the Westcountry Shows, my favourite has to be the Royal Welsh which we have regularly visited as a family, and it breathes reality, which suits me. How complex the Livestock Industry has become over this time, I really enjoy watching the showring, but the Suckler Herd measure of British Agriculture needs to be respected as this is what really counts on a commercial level.

Finally

The South Western Limousin Cattle Breeders Club is privileged to organise herd visits across the West Country annually, and we, as a family have all appreciated the geographical benefits and challenges of farming in this treasured corner of the British Isles.

Developing the Lim herd

Patrick Greed

Background

I have been at my present farm for 27 years - prior to that there were four-and-a-half years on an adjoining National Trust farm. I used to put Friesian heifers to bull and sell them in-calf. Moving into a bigger grassbased farm enabled me to change tack and develop a beef suckler herd which subsequently required a terminal sire. After the history at Columbjohn Farm near Exeter there was only one way to go. Purchasing my first bull for £1,950 in 1994 was the catalyst to start breeding my own. The breed has all the attributes required – easy calving, thrifty calves

I only wanted a few pedigrees but as they say they got into my blood and the rest is history. Starting with a trip to Daventry to see George and Beth Smith’s Grange Herd, I purchased foundation stock which included Grange Locarno (going back to As de Pic). We still have some Locarno lines today and his influence can be seen. I wish in hindsight I had invested in more quality stock at the start – which is my tip to anyone starting in the business, no matter what the breed. Buy as much of the best quality that you can.

Favourite show

We have a great Club membership in the South West, a strong committee and with members promoting the breed at all events – my favourite being the Royal

Cornwall Show which still has its grass roots firmly on the ground. For the same reason, my second favourite show would have to be the Royal Welsh. Long may they continue as they are both part of the farming calendar.

The future

The year of 2020 has been challenging. Sadly, not only the shows were lost but also many sales in the spring and early summer which are crucial for the survival of all farmers and breeders to market their produce – and the culmination of many years’ work. I hope the future will be brighter and that our industry will go from strength to strength as the trend now seems to be supporting / shopping locally.

And Finally

If asked what I would like should I be stranded on a desert island, my response would be: a boat, a fishing rod and a good supply of gin.

“We are more and more seeing a trend of buyers purchasing our heifers for breeding, with the best ones going for bulling rather than finishing. This year, 17 of the 24 at Hexham in October went for breeding.” Benefits of Society Sales

Limousin bulls are purchased through British Limousin Cattle Society sales at Carlisle. Comments Richard: “We know by purchasing bulls from Carlisle that we have the benefits that official Society sales offer us in terms of National Beef Association warranties and a high standard of veterinary inspection. It’s where we have the opportunity to buy some of the very best Limousin genetics the breed has to offer.” As they are also keeping their own heifers, bulls are chosen for their frame and shape with a strong emphasis placed on temperament which also helps with the growing breeding heifer market adding value to the business with the first cross dairy-bred heifers kept for themselves for breeding. Richard first became interested in the Limousin breed almost fifty years ago now when he bought a

crossbred black Limmy-bred foster calf to set on a cow. Richard and his father were one of the very first people to purchase a Limousin bull from Carlisle at the anniversary sale in 1975 held at the then ‘new’ Borderway Mart where he remembers being impressed by the length of the bulls as well as the excellent conformation. “Our first bull was Wintershall Jonathon (by one of the original French imports, Funambule), from the same stable as the noted Wintershall Jupiter who was owned by the Milk Marketing Board. We paid 560gns for him.” Cornhills sold their first Limousincross store cattle at Scots Gap Mart in the mid-1970s where the sight of these incredible store cattle appearing in a Northumberland mart attracted considerable attention as a lot of farmers had not seen such conformation and length in Scots Gap before. ANNUAL JOURNAL 2021 | 33

FEATURE Limousin Bulls – Growth & Easy Calving

Presently there is a battery of 4 Limousin bulls on the farm. The elder statesman is the 2011-born Millbrow George bred by George & Pat Long, Skelwith Bridge, Ambleside. Having stood Supreme Champion at the February 2013 Carlisle Sale, Millbrow George made 10,000gns. Commenting on his purchase at the time, Richard Thornton said: “We calve down from May so usually turn the bulls out mid-July. We like to have new bulls settle down well before then and place emphasis first and foremost on health status with figures also playing a part in the bull selection process.” Bulls are therefore selected at the Carlisle February Sale where Richard & Christopher have time to watch the bulls in the pre-sale show, and then have time to take them home to be isolated and acclimatised. Figures are an important tool with particular attention paid to calving ease and growth rates. Temperament as well as the Johne’s status of the herd

(usually a 1 or 2) as well as TB area are also important factors. Millbrow George is an embryo calf by Ardnacrasha Uthman – a bull owned jointly with Norman Cruickshank, Lanark – and is out of Millbrow Opal. An extremely quiet bull, he is still being used extensively on the herd at 9 years of age. Two further bulls from The Norman Farming Company, Little Orton, Carlisle on the holding are Norman Mario & Norman OBoy. Mario was born in 2016 and is by the Wilodge Vantastic son, Claragh Franco, and out of Stacey Racquel.

Tight Calving Pattern

The four bulls run with the 110-strong suckler cows aimed at maintaining as tight a calving pattern as possible. Calving takes place outside in May and 80% of cows are calved in 4 weeks with calving finished by the end of June – this ensures level bunches of store cattle for selling through Hexham Mart at around 16 months of age. Heifers are all calved in the spring at three-years of age which suits the Thorntons’ system. This decision is backed up by the need for a strong framey mother and the fact that the first-calving heifers are kept outside on stewardship ground for what is their third winter before calving where they are outwintered with a bit of hay and around 1kg of concentrate feed per day – something which would not be possible with younger breeding females. Added to this is the good Limousin cull cow price which goes a long way towards buying a replacement – two ten-year-old cows recently went away at £1,100 apiece. The calves stay on their mothers until they are 9-10 months old which helps stop the cows getting too fit

www.limousin.co.uk

and means the Thorntons have very few assisted calvings. Paddles are used on the calves for weaning which has proved very successful. Weaning is towards the end of February or beginning of March when cows drop back onto a mainly straw regime where they are kept at a maintenance level until calving down in May.

Limousin Bounce Back Effect!

Housing is from November onwards mostly on cubicles with cows fed a silage-based ration plus minerals. Calves have their own

lying and creep area with their own silage and around 1-1.5kg of beef nuts. Calves are weighed at housing and again at turnout where they then benefit from the flush at grass. Around 115 acres of silage are made in a single cut end-June or early July. A further notable advantage of the Lim-cross cattle is that they respond very well with compensatory growth if they lose any condition and soon bounce back.

oger Webster is a partner of Taylors Farm Shop situated in Lathom near Ormskirk, Lancashire and has been sourcing Limousin-cross beef for the farm shop since it opened in 2003. Says Roger: “Limousin beef has been a major influence in the success of the farm shop.” Today’s consumer is looking for lean beef with minimal fat cover that must also provide a great eating experience and value for money and Limousin is the only beef breed that can provide this consistently. Taylors Farm Shop regularly purchase Limousin crosses from Hexham & Northern Marts (HNM) to finish on the farm and the beef pictured is one of a consignment from the Thornton Family at Cornhills, Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland purchased through HNM. Roger continues: “We finish our cattle with an alkaline diet of cereals produced on the farm which helps put the Ph up to 6.5 which we believe helps with the meat maturation process.”

Limousin beef provides the shop with carcases that combine conformation, finer grained meat and perfect fat cover. As the trend from customers is generally for lean beef, the Limousin gives the farm shop the adaptability to utilise more muscles out of the forequarters to increase returns from the carcase. “When serving customers, there are boxes to be ticked and it’s the Limousin-sired beef that ticks all the boxes. It is essential for customers that regularly buy beef from our farm shop they are confident of purchasing a consistent product that provides a great eating experience.”

Pedigree Limousins

THE CORNERSTONE AT GARROWBY FARM W

hen the Garrowby Limousin Herd was established in 2005, the ambition had always been to grow it to a 200-cow operation. This endeavour is now being fulfilled thanks to the acquisition of the entire Gunnerfleet Herd from Ian Handley in Spring 2020. Gunnerfleet was already a destination of choice, being top of the list when a stock bull was needed, so with a number of Gunnerfleet female lines already at Garrowby, the opportunity was too good to miss.

60 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

“Purchasing the whole Gunnerfleet offering lock stock and barrel made perfect sense as I had always admired the herd and it ticked the boxes in terms of the cow families staying together and also from a herd health point of view – both of us being Johne’s Level One and BVD accredited,” comments Clive Rowland, the Garrowby Farm Manager. So, in early 2020 the whole gamut of cows, heifers, youngstock, bulls and followers made the 90-mile journey across from the Yorkshire Dales.

The Garrowby Limousin herd is part of the 320 hectare in-hand farming operation on Garrowby Estate, the home of the Halifax Family, 14 miles east of York. Prior to the arrival of Clive at Garrowby in 2001, Lord Halifax had for many years had a herd of Aberdeen Angus cows grazing the parkland around Garrowby Hall. However, Clive was keen to replace these with commercial Limousins to benefit from higher liveweight gains and to provide improved margins.

Clive Rowland Farm Manager

At Garrowby, the type of cow they are looking for is an easy fleshing, shapey type but without losing milk and ease of calving. These traits are personified by the herd sires Plumtree Fantastic and Ampertaine Magnum as well as the new young bull Nabal. With 809 registered progeny in the Limousin herdbook, Plumtree Fantastic was purchased privately by Ian Handley for £40,000 and combines Wilodge Vantastic and Bankdale Amber. Now as a ten-yearold, he is still going strong on the farm. “A typical example of the stamp that I’m looking for in my females is the Plumtree Fantastic daughter, Gunnerfleet Ilocks, who bred the 22,000gns Gunnerfleet Lion sold to Whinfellpark. I have a full sister to Lion now at Garrowby in the shape of Gunnerfleet Locks (by the Dolcorsllwyn Brynmor son Gunnerfleet Hicks and out of Gunnerfleet Ilocks).” adds Clive. Ampertaine Magnum (297 pedigree calves to date) is by Loosebeare Fantastic and out of an Ampertaine Abracadabra daughter and was purchased at Carlisle in October 2017 for 70,000gns. He is www.limousin.co.uk

Plumtree Fantastic

ideal for first-calving heifers with a short gestation length. Current stock bulls used across the pedigree herd are Plumtree Fantastic, Ampertaine Magnum, Nabal (purchased privately in France) and junior herd sire Trueman Pharrell. Pharrell was purchased at the Trueman online sale in July 2020 being one of the first sons of Telfers Munster (by Lodge Hamlet). “We have taken a small quantity of semen from Trueman Pharrell and

are now trying him across a handful of autumn calvers. He is out of a heifer, naturally born and has some great, and different, bloodlines for us so is a good prospect.” Selected cows are also AI’d. To date most of the Limousin bulls purchased for the herd originate from the Gunnerfleet herd - some of which have included Glenrock Ventura, Dolcorsllwyn Brynmor and numerous young bulls including Gunnerfleet Hicks. ANNUAL JOURNAL 2021 | 61

ADVERTORIAL Bull Selection

When looking for a bull, ideally he has to have that head-turning appeal, a thick top from his shoulder to his end, clean through his middle with a good spring of rib and good width. Clive is a stickler for good legs and feet and aims to breed mobile cattle. Although he favours a more muscular type of bull, he is always keen to keep calving ease at the forefront. Clive studies a bull’s pedigree carefully and is influenced by its temperament score. EBVs are important when selecting a bull but bloodlines are the most important. He looks at how the bull’s sire has bred, what has its dam bred, how much milk does she have and is her calf this year as good as the one before!

AMPERTAINE MAGNUM

The Farm Itself

The 320 hectares is predominantly grassland with a small acreage of winter wheat/barley and spring barley grown on the arable land used in rotation with grass leys. Lucerne is grown to supplement diets formulated for the growing cattle. The soil is predominantly heavy clay which is well suited to growing grass, but restricts out wintering of stock other than sheep. The 700-ewe flock is a mix of Mule and Texel x Mule put back to Texel tups. All lamb at the end of March. The ewes are fed a TMR ration prior to lambing indoors. Once lambed they are moved to larger mixing pens and return to grass asap thereafter. Lambs are sold from July onwards working on a two-thirds fat and onethird store basis. 100 Texel x Mule gimmers are retained each year.

Limousin Versatility & Flexibility

The herd now numbers around 100 commercial cows and 75 pedigrees but the business will now concentrate on the pedigree side with accelerated genetic improvement achieved by embryo transfer using 25 high-health status recipient dams.

62 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

The commercial Limousin herd currently comprises 100 spring calving cows made up of pure unregistered Limousin and British Blue x Limousin cows. Commercial cows run with predominantly Limousin bulls sourced from the pedigree herd, used for one year then sold on. A single British Blue bull complements the team. Clive says: “The Limousin suits so many markets - from store cattle, through to fatstock and butchers, heifer replacements and cull cows. You only have to look at the weekly market reports and Limousins are in the top drawer of sales, producing what people want with better and more consistent grades whatever the system.”

Garrowby Supreme Champ Leyburn 2019

Commercial male calves are sold as stores at 7-8 months. Heifers surplus to breeding requirement are usually sold for breeding and the very best sold for showing.

is carried out by Celtech to coincide with autumn calvings to produce bulls ready for sale in the following spring/summer. The Limousin herd focus on easy, is helped by the use Myostatin gene selection which enables Clive to match cow types to bulls.

Feeding Regime

All pedigree calves receive a rearer ration from birth whilst housed with their autumn calving dams. Suckling cows receive a TMR ration of clamped silage, maize and minerals. All silage is analyzed and mineral spec’d to suit. Spring calving cows winter through on a TMR of silage and straw plus minerals. No concentrates are fed to cows.

Gunnerfleet Locks

www.limousin.co.uk

Weaned calves

Calves prior to weaning/housing are vaccinated for pneumonia, clipped along the backs and head and wormed and treated for external parasites. Once calves are weaned, they settle onto a rearer ration and bulls and heifers are split into groups. Bulls are fed on a twice-a-day system alongside maize, silage and straw. Heifers are reared on ad lib silage and limited feed on a twice daily feeding regime. Bulls are housed in smaller groups as they grow, and exercised through small paddock areas in the summer to aid with locomotion and conditioning until sale. Twenty-five bulls have been sold at home this summer but the emphasis is selling the top bulls through H&H and from home throughout the year. Heifers are usually turned away for the summer and housed the following winter for sale thereafter.

Future Plans at Garrowby

Clive studies every cow and calf carefully on what they bring to the herd; then looks to a sire to aid what they lack. The motto is, and always will be, to keep the best and sell the rest. Clive is supported by one full-time stockman, Patrick Shipley, and is ably assisted by Juli Shepherd in administration. Extra hands are brought in during period peak periods such as lambing and sale preparation. The farm is looking to maximize on the implementation of regenerative farming practices over the next few years and it is the Limousin breed, ideally suited to an extensive system, which can make the best use of the farmed land to produce quality stock. Clive’s ambition is to continue to grow Garrowby Limousins and build on the previous successes.

Maximising herd potential

Factfile

Westpit, Laurencekirk 35 cow pedigree Westpit herd 65 commercial breeding cows 100 acres grass 380 acres spring barley

attle breeders seeking to maximise their herd’s genetic potential are introducing In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP), a cost effective and welfare friendly service from UK based advanced cattle breeding company, AB Europe

“The IVP process produces embryos from collected oocytes (unfertilized eggs),” explains AB Europe’s Gavin Tait. “The oocytes are fertilized within a petri dish by selected semen, and subsequently cultured for seven days until fully developed embryos can be transferred or frozen. “IVP is a relatively new technique within the UK, but globally, it is a widely used method of producing embryos where it outcompetes MOET

for its flexibility and multiple benefits to breeders and their donor animals. “AB Europe currently offers two distinct IVP donor programmes dependent on the individual animal requirement and/or farmer's preference. “The first programme is our nonstimulated system, where IVP donors are not subjected to any drugs or synchronization prior to the collection of oocytes, which accordingly makes it the simpler, cheaper and less

labour-intensive option. “The second programme is our stimulated system, which requires four injections prior to collection. Stimulation leads to a boost in oocyte quality on a given week - sometimes it can improve number of oocytes too, however collection can only be done every fortnight and requires additional handling of the donor animal.” The following table demonstrates a comparison between IVP and MOET.

Amongst the Limousin breeders who have successfully taken up IVP is Andrew Gammie whose pedigree beef enterprise objectives are to grow the herd, improve every generation going forward and achieve profit. Here he discusses how IVP has helped to accelerate his Westpit herd's progress. “I’d grown up with pedigree livestock, enjoyed and decided to develop the herd as an added value enterprise,” he explains. “The first investments included 10 pedigree females from the Greenwell herd and 5,800gns in Brockhurst Holy whose genetics - both male and female had been notably successful. “I could have continued to naturally expand the herd, however I became aware of In-Vitro embryo Production (IVP) as an alternative to MOET which has in fact put Westpit on the map. IVP was preferred to MOET because no stimulation is required and the AB Europe team arrive on the farm to collect, whereas MOET requires multiple injections along with

accompanying time, effort and cost. “Brockhurst Holy was the first female to undergo IVP, primarily as an insurance policy. We achieved 20 calves, including 18 bulls of which 16 sold to pedigree herds. They’ve also collected the silverware at both society shows and sales.” One of Holy’s IVP collections gave one heifer and four bulls which sold to average 12,000gns and they have secured both champion and reserve championships at 2019 Stars of the Future. “Last year AB Europe introduced IVP coasting featuring a programme with minimal stimulation. We achieved a better response in terms of embryos per collection, and it was much less invasive than MOET. “IVP and IVP coasting is enabling me to now buy the best genetics I can. I select semen, anything from £50 to £1,000 per straw to improve the herd’s genetic base selected for certain EBVs, according to accuracy, proven damline, breeding and showring success. Both techniques require just one semen straw per donor, compared with MOET

requiring three straws.” Following collections, the embryos are stored or implanted into the commercial recipient cows. “Last year we collected 11 cows over two onfarm collections which resulted in 47 embryos. These fresh embryos went on to hold at around 70%. “If I have just one or two cows for collection, then I’m finding it’s more cost effective to introduce them to AB Europe’s livery run by the company’s vet, Gavin Tait on his farm in the Borders. It offers a safe and convenient environment. Communications are key for us farmers, and the AB Europe team keeps us informed as to what’s going on.” The 2020 programme also featured one of Holy’s 12-month-old daughters, again as an insurance policy. “As long as a heifer is cycling at that age, then the process makes for a quicker turn around, speeding up genetic progress as well as spreading semen costs,” explains Andrew adding: “Going forward a large implant program is due to take place in spring 2021with a further collection due later in the year.”

NATIONAL BEEF ASSOCIATION – UPDATE

s I write this, Brexit has become a reality, and our best negotiators have managed to fashion a trade deal. Whilst the reality of the decisions which have been made on our behalf are not yet entirely apparent, the challenges facing the UK beef industry postBrexit are huge. Beef producers are faced with the end of BPS and the introduction of ELMS, of which we know so little, but are promised so much. This seismic shift comes at a time when the pressure on the beef industry to reduce emissions is increasing, and - like it or not change will be driven through beef production.

66 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Neil Shand CEO It is remarkable to consider that a year has passed since my last missive for the Limousin review –to say it’s been a strange year feels like a laughable understatement – a year that has dragged by but seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. As an industry, we have missed the camaraderie of our shows and sales; it feels like an eternity since any sort of social normality, and the hope of a return to social interaction in time for the Limousin 50th Anniversary celebrations is still uncertain. I do hope that the British Limousin Cattle Society and its members are afforded the opportunity to celebrate the impact of 50 successful years in the UK.

The Limousin breed and its members, who have nurtured and developed their animals over the years, have made significant contributions to our industry, and have transformed the Limousin cattle story into the success it is today. The initial introduction of continental breeds was driven by the need and desire to produce bigger quantities of beef more quickly, a target which was achieved in no small part due to the impact of the Limousin breed. We have 2 million fewer cows in the UK than in the 1950s but produce a similar amount of beef annually. Registration figures from BCMS confirm just under 450,000 Limousin-

www.limousin.co.uk

inherent value of the breed in so many areas of beef production. The future of the beef industry can be equally as bright as the present, providing we are able and willing to adapt to change - and that change may come quickly. According to AHDB data, the biggest concerns amongst those that are eating less or no beef at all, are the environment and animal welfare. Such is the current environmental focus on the beef industry, it is surely in our best interests to find a way to answer and overcome the stigma of eating beef which is felt by some consumers. The immediate challenges will all be linked to the environment, and there is room for most beef producers to improve their carbon footprint. With the focus of ELMS centred around public money for public good, future support payments will almost certainly be largely results based. We understand that although they will include welfare and health-based incentives, there is no doubt that the environment and carbon emissions will play a large part. Reducing the age of finished cattle at slaughter remains the single biggest win our industry can have. A three-month reduction in age at slaughter gives as much as a 20% decrease in emissions from beef production, whilst allowing for an increase in suckler numbers and a corresponding decrease in the

quantity of imported beef. The idea is not to shift to feed lot systems, simply a drive to increase efficiency and productivity to the benefit of all. The adoption of a mixture of improved genetics, lifting feed conversion ratios, disease reduction, and better feed and grass qualities will all lead to cattle being fit for slaughter younger. As an industry, we need more suckled calf producers – whatever their breed of choice - to buy and use elite genetics. Recent AHDB data suggests nearly a third of all breeding bulls used in England are crossbred, have no EBVs, and therefore no way to measure performance or apply improvements. The NBA and the British Limousin Cattle Society have significant mutual interests. Commercial beef producers are the mainstay of our industry they are your customers and our members. It is these beef producers - who feed and clothe their families on the profits of their business that will need to face and adapt to change in the coming years. As an industry we must unite – it’s not my problem, their problem, his or her problem – it’s everyone’s collective opportunity, and the opportunities are immense. We all look forward to seeing the UK’s most popular beef breed continue to make headlines in the future.

sired beef calf registrations in 2019 - a total which equates to nearly a quarter of all calves registered in Great Britain. Whilst this figure is undeniably under pressure from a resurgence in native genetics, future advances - along with the industry’s responsibility to address environmental concerns - will undoubtedly lead to a perfect mix of continental and native genetics. Relating the history of the last 50 years requires someone with deep roots in the breed and a full Limmy DNA profile to do it justice! However, for many years I have watched from the other side of the fence as record after record has been smashed at Society sales. No other breed can claim to have had such a significant impact across the board as the Limousin has: cattle which dominate the summer show ring, are the mainstay of many commercial beef units, and the butcher’s choice in the live ring. Repeated successes at commercial calf shows and winter carcase competitions speak for themselves. Carlisle Limousin sales have set - and subsequently smashed – average prices for bulls from £6232 in 2011 to the existing all-breed record of £8709, which was set in October 2015. Whilst these averages are clearly influenced by breederto-breeder trade, the willingness of the commercial farmer to pay more is testament to the capability and

“Previously, we would have had to replace up to 30 tags out of the 160 calves. Last October we only had to replace one” -Ian Richardson

Scottish Borders livestock farmers Ian Richardson and his father David have gradually been building up numbers in their specialist beef unit with a target of 500 suckler cows. Scottish Borders livestock farmers Ian Richardson and his father David Farm 1,650 acres at Upper Samieston, near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders running 440 suckler cows alongside 1,000 breeding ewes plus 250 arable acres. Their goal is to build up to 500 suckler cows. The Richardson’s aim is to sell suckler calves off their dams to maximise profitability ideally in October. Ian explains; “We aim to sell at weaning because we don’t have space and they make us the most profit then. They cost us virtually nothing to graze through the summer”. They are using Charolais, Aberdeen Angus, Limousin, British Blue and Simmental bulls, using the Angus, Blues and some Limousins for breeding replacements and putting the Charolais and Limousin bulls onto them. In 2014 they decided to invest in two new cattle sheds and a straw shed which is also used for lambing. For ease of handling, there are eight calving pens between them, each including a calving yoke which has made a huge difference in handling. The Richardson’s have taken home the champion calf prize at Stirling on numerous occasions. A handful are selected as potential show calves receiving no special treatment other than a wash and a blow dry, but still take the accolades particularly in the Young Farmers Calf Rally at Stirling. Most of the herd calve in spring from mid-March to May and calving is as tight as possible so tasks like tagging is full on. The Richardson’s now rely on Roxan’s Alpha cattle tags to identify cattle and 68 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

pair up cows and their calves quickly. They trust in Tagfaster too for their sheep and like the speed and good retention they get. “We had a bad experience with our previous cattle tag supplier and now we replace very few tags. Any we do and delivery is often next day. Out of 413 calves born, we probably replaced less than six”. “The Angus calves are all tagged with a red management tag so we can pick them out regardless of the sire. We also freeze-brand all the cows, to aide field identification. The large handwritten management tag enables us to match the calf quickly with the mother’s freeze brand” Ian adds. Another management priority is that the cattle must be easily handled, with the Richardson’s having a strict policy on temperament.Bulls are mostly sourced privately, occasionally bought at sales, and while Ian looks at growth rate figures, judging calving ease by eye is also a crucial key performance indicator too. Particularly with Charolais, they avoid heavy-boned bulls and those which are too strong in the fore-end. The herd has been built up gradually since 2001, buying in very few females to maintain the herd’s health status and breeding replacements using the four-way cross to maintain hybrid vigour. None are more than 50% Angus. Blue, Simmental and Limousin cows are put to the Angus bull and most of the Angus cross go to the Charolais bull. Because calving is at two years old, first and second calvers are all run with the Limousin bulls and then the Richardson’s decide which way they

are bred. Occasionally heifers are purchased if the opportunity arises, if they are health accredited. “The health status has to be right – we vaccinate against bovine viral diarrhoea and test all first and second calvers for Johne’s,” said Ian. Calves are also DNA tissue sampled under the Scottish Beef Efficiency Scheme which records data on the calf and dam and assists in the efficient development of suckler herds. Look out for more Upper Samieston progeny and you will be sure to be impressed.

Limousin Cattle Deserve Stockman’s Choice Jill Hunter – Harbro Beef & Sheep Nutritionist

Limousin cattle breeders are well known for their expert stockmanship and ability to turn out exceptional stock for both shows and sales. As an industry, we have a responsibility to ensure breeding animals are well managed and supported nutritionally to produce animals fit for purpose and able to pass genetics into both pedigree and commercial herds. At Harbro, we believe we also have a responsibility to play our part in efficient and sustainable livestock production. This includes pedigree cattle, across all breeds. We believe there are four factors, which should be considered when deciding what to feed your animals: 1. Health. If animals aren’t healthy, we cannot expect them to perform and maximise their genetic potential 2. Immunity. Without a robust immune system, animals cannot fight infection or repair damaged tissues 3. Fertility. Arguably the most important factor. Both male and females must be fed in a way to ensure the breed is known for being fertile and prolific. Also important to ensure herds are profitable 4. Longevity. Rearing replacements is costly, therefore animals on your home farm or sold to other producers need to live a full life and be

allowed to pass on their genetics We recently launched Stockman’s Choice, which is our new and exciting range of pedigree cattle feeds, designed to enhance the four factors listed above. It has been developed by combining years of dedication and experience in the pedigree world with the latest technologies and innovations. We also consulted with our nutritional partners, including Glasgow Vet School to ensure a holistic view was taken across the range of feed and to make sure our advice is relevant. The pedigree team at Harbro is highly experienced and we work closely with customers across the UK to ensure practical and nutritional advice helps customers to meet their goals. What makes Stockman’s Choice different? Stockman’s Choice has been formulated using a carefully selected range of sustainably sourced, quality raw materials with key additives included to promote feed efficiency, health and performance. Rumitech is a Carbon Trust assured additive which increases feed conversion ratio whilst increasing lean tissue growth in comparison to fat, including less scrotal fat. A trial carried out with young bulls fed Rumitech, showed an increase in eye muscle area, while reducing fat depth by 12%.

www.limousin.co.uk

ADVERTORIAL

With a keen focus on health and immunity, we chose to include Rumi Defence , an exciting new additive which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It enhances immunity and improves the function of vital organs such as the liver, which is undoubtedly under pressure with the levels of performance expected of these animals. A recent on-farm trial showed cattle fed Rumi Defence gained an additional 320g/head/day in the last 20 days of the finishing period. This has the potential to seriously crank up the dial on pedigree stock performance, when you’re looking for additional performance and condition, ahead of shows and sales. Maxammon inclusion means the pH and protein level of the cereal have been increased, allowing higher cereal inclusion more safely and reducing the requirement for additional protein supplementation.

www.limousin.co.uk

With a number of top producers now feeding Stockman’s Choice, we believe we have the ideal feeding regime to complement the world leading Limousin Cattle herds throughout the UK. In addition to the Stockman’s Choice range for show and sale animals, we also have a range of commercial feeds and supplements to support your main herd. Suckler cows are the foundation of your business and its worthwhile investing in them to ensure you have as many live and vigorous calves born, with as few issues as possible. Here’s wishing Limousin breeders all the very best for 2021. We hope to see you at shows and sales very soon.

ANNUAL JOURNAL 2021 | 77

FEATURES

igh-quality suckler herds producing premium-grade suckled calves and store cattle are the lifeblood of the Jones Brothers’ cattle enterprises in mid-Wales. And while Phil Jones and his brother, Rob, farm independently, each in partnership with their respective wives, Tracey and Llinos, the philosophy of cattle management and production is very much a shared one with Limousin at its heart. For Phil & Tracey, who farm at Tyisaf Farm, Erwood, just outside of Builth Wells and run a herd of 45 cows alongside 600 commercial ewes and a small pedigree Blue Texel flock, alongside children Emma, Craig and Ryan the mantra is quality in everything they do. And it is the same for Rob & Llinos at Lower Argoed Farm, Llandeillo Graban, with their own 30-cow herd which is managed along with 750 ewes, mainly Talybont Welsh Mountain, with small flocks of Jacobs ad Dutch Spotted for the couple’s children, Rhodri and Beth.

FEATURE

Limousin Premium Output

As Phil explains, with the high costs of managing suckler cows in upland systems the output has to earn a premium to ensure the enterprise remains profitable. “We aim to produce the best cattle we can from our system, with calves often destined for future showing and regularly at or around the top of the store trade, too. “Costs for upland suckler cows are high, with straw a significant cost and longer housing periods due to the inclement weather. That means we have to produce cattle which can earn the best prices.” This is something Rob backs up, citing a falling number of suckler herds locally as the economics of upland herds have become less

78 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

viable. “There’s no doubt there are less suckler herds locally now than there were. There simply isn’t enough return on the investment, particularly for smaller herds,” he explains. Keeping things simple is the aspiration for Rob, with a tight calving pattern in his spring calving herd to ensure efficiency and uniform groups of calves for sale. “We calve in March and April and have been hard on culling over the last few years to keep to a tight calving block. “We could let a few cows slip by a bit, but the likelihood is that they’ll create problems by calving out of sync with the rest of the herd, so we’ve chosen to be harder and make things simpler for ourselves.” For Rob, the aim is getting cows and calves to grass as soon as is practical post-calving to maximise calf health and growth rates. “They’re better off being outside as soon as possible and both cows and calves thrive far better in the open air,” he adds. Meanwhile, with an eye of the lucrative show calf market, Phil

operates a split calving herd, with one group of cows calving in May and June to produce calves for sale at the spring show calf sales with the remainder calving later in the year to produce calves for sale to target the primestock show season. “Those show calves aren’t the bread and butter of the business, but they do help lift the average significantly,” adds Phil. Show calves from the Jones Family have often been in hot demand with the top being a call of £7,400 for last February’s Brecon champion, Prince of Thieves and £5,700 for Dancing Queen, the 2019 Brecon champion. “It would be foolish to base our cattle business solely on producing those calves, but if we can produce a few show calves each year it certainly helps the bottom line,” explains Phil. When it comes to cow type both

FEATURES

brothers are looking for the same traits with a width of shoulder and loin through the top among the main criteria. “It isn’t always about size either,” says Rob, “Daylight doesn’t weigh,” he adds.

Consistent Returns

For Rob it is the same principle, with the show calves very much the icing on top of the cake. “The bulk of our output is top-end store cattle, with the aim being to sell them at 10-12 months old through Brecon; most years we achieve prices in the region of £1,200 per head. “We’ve seen prices as high as £6,200 which was for last year’s Baby Beef Champion at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair and while that’s great, good Limousin-sired stores are always in demand and that’s where the bulk of our trade comes from.” With cows at Rob’s farm being predominantly Continental breeding, there is some criss-crossing of sire breeds, but most are served to a Limousin, with current herd sire Beulah Jurassic doing a good job for the herd. “I tend to buy bulls privately and will often buy an older proven bull. Legs and overall body structure are important to me and we’ve been lucky to buy bulls which have lasted well,” he adds. For Phil, the sire mix is again largely Limousin, with cows again being heavily Continental influenced. Sires here include Garnedd Oatabix, a Trueman Idol son purchased from Ken Jones, as well as the highly successful Irish-bred bull Sheehills Jet, an Ampertaine Elgin son and out of a Ronick Hawk-bred dam. “I won’t say finding the right bull

www.limousin.co.uk

is easy,” says Phil. “In fact, I think it’s getting harder as the years go on, but perhaps we’re just getting fussier! I prefer balance over excessive shape, and it must have a good shoulder and loin.” When it comes to replacement females, both herds retain a number of their own heifers, while also buying in a small number of replacements too. “It is important to recognise that the heifers we’re breeding aren’t all suited to be breeding heifers,” says Rob. “We tend to buy bulling heifers and serve them to our own bulls to ensure we breed the type of calf our customers are looking for.” When it comes to herd management, both brothers aim for high health herds and simple feeding strategies, with both ensuring cows maintain a high mineral status through use of boluses at key times in the year.

Low-input Cows

And both manage cows on forageonly diets, relying on hay and silage to keep cows in the right condition pre-calving. Rob says the aim is to ensure calves are easily born and then thrive off their mother’s milk in the early months. Creep feeding plays a key part in calf management for both herds, with Phil introducing creep from about four months old to maximise growth in the most efficient period of the animal’s life. “Calves of that

age are growing at the fastest rate they ever will in their life and feeding to make the most of that makes economic sense.” While 2020 is without a doubt a year both brothers would rather forget as a result of Covid-19 disrupting shows and resulting in reduced demand for their best calves, both are equally adamant about the type of cattle their producing. As Phil says: “If you’re going to put the hours in producing something it might as well be something you like.” A thought echoed by Rob: “I was brought up to have a keen eye for stock and I’ve followed that through with our own business, always trying to add value by producing the best we can.”

THE LIMOUSIN FINISHER Feature on Frank Robson, supplier of finished cattle to Cranstons

rank Robson, South Farm, Ryal, Matfen, Northumberland is a store cattle finisher and has been supplying Limousin heifers to Cranstons Butchers for 15 years. It was in the mid-1970s that he first became aware of Limousin-cross store cattle becoming available as farmers began using Limousin bulls 90 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

in their suckler and dairy herds. At the time, he was supplying local butchers direct with finished cattle so when the first Limousin-cross finished cattle started becoming available to butchers, straightaway there was demand out there. There was at once greater interest in these finer boned, better conformation

carcases with minimal wastage whilst retaining an acceptable of fat cover. This therefore led to more butchers taking an interest in the Limousin. Frank Robson talks on a regular basis with Cranstons buying department on size of carcase, conformation and fat levels whilst www.limousin.co.uk

FEATURES

also obtaining feedback on cattle sold to Cranstons to make sure he is meeting specifications.

Adapting to Market Needs

Says Frank: “When supplying butchers, there are boxes to be ticked and it’s the Limousin that ticks all the boxes. In the past five years or so, demand has switched to a slightly smaller carcass due to public demand and Limousin beef is able to meet this criteria due to the fact that Limousin-cross cattle are able to finish at the market spec at a relatively young age.” The forequarter of beef has become of greater importance and it is the Limousin forequarter which is exactly what the butcher wants carrying just enough fat with a high meat yield in all the right places. From the other angle, Mr Robson is in regular contact with the farmers he buys store cattle from to make sure he is getting the correct type of Limousin cross that he can feed on to meet Cranstons Butchers specifications for conformation, fat levels and size. www.limousin.co.uk

In 2020, Frank Robson has supplied Cranstons with cattle hitting the specification every time achieving grades of U+ 3 and 4L. “In my opinion, there is no other breed that could have achieved that goal to meet the

spec every time,” he adds. For further information, please check out the Limousin You Tube channel for a video of Cranstons as well as a further one featuring Frank Robson. ANNUAL JOURNAL 2021 | 91

PRESIDENT’S REFLECTIONS British Limousin Cattle Society Honorary President, Craig Ridley, reflects here on the 50th Anniversary of British Limousin in 2021. Haltcliffe is a name that runs deep in the Limousin history books - not once but twice - having been hugely influential both pre FMD and then once again after the year 2001. First steps

ur family has always been involved in pedigree breeding with my parents, Matt & Margaret, originally involved in Hereford and Charolais cattle, Bluefaced Leicester and Swaledale sheep. We were always looking for something different having had a few pedigree Charolais cattle to cross 94 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

onto our Angus and Hereford-cross Friesian cow suckler herd. Early on we bought in sucklers in calf to the Limousin and realised how well they did so it was not long before we bought our first pedigree Lims at the end of the 1970s. These first pedigrees came from JW Smith’s Henhamlodge Herd near Bishops Stortford who advertised 8 cows and 4 calves for sale in Farmers Weekly. At the time, I was 21 and in Brighton at the YFC AGM when I had a phone call from Dad saying I should take a drive on the way home to see them. As we drew up to the farm, another prospective buyer was there – I later found out that this was Drew Adam of Newhouse. We liked what we saw and a day or so later Dad agreed the price – I was told what clinched it was that I was young and keen! These 12 cattle arrived home on 8th May 1979 and included Hampton Margaret (by Frisson 87-70-001-086) - who bred Haltcliffe Aristocrat & Haltcliffe Rembrandt - along with 3 heifers with the Matching prefix from R&M

Howard sired by Favori 87-70-001552 - one of the better bulls for breeding females as it turned out. All came in calf to Bewick Lord Jim (by Fanfaron) with one of the first sons being the late 1979-born Haltcliffe Pirate who sold at the March 1981 BLCS Carlisle Sale for the top price of the day of 3,500gns to the Milk Marketing Board – the first UK-bred Lim to do so – and on the same day that the Scottish MMB bought Shatton Pedro.

new red breed. The driver back in the late 70s and early 80s was the demand from the butcher and the meat trade for the top-quality meat and high killing out percentage, which still today defines the commercial aspect of the breed – that is the beauty of the Limousin. We gradually changed over from Herefords and Angus to run a pure but commercial Lim operation with the pedigree Limousins kept on the same commercial footing – same buildings, same conditions - which is something very few other pedigree breeds can achieve. Ultimately, we never stopped breeding commercial cattle that appealed to the suckler bull buyer; the demand for Limousin bulls really took off when the suckler calf breeders started using the Limousin bull back on a Limmycross cow and the calves just went up another level. From then to now, good quality bulls and females have been easy to sell; of course, it was always nice to breed a top bull or two that would go into the top pedigree herds. Back in the 80s and 90s we had quite a few top-priced bulls at the Society Sales at prices that are not even the sale average now at Carlisle! I’m very proud to look back on that period before Foot & Mouth when although we only had one Champion bull at the Carlisle sales - we had a lot of top prices.

Paying their way

FMD & Restocking

Limousins earned their keep from day one with the first calf often paying for the mother. Hampton Margaret who came in the first 12 cattle from Mr Smith lived to the age of 18 leaving 28 calves, 13 of them natural. She was without doubt the star of the first cattle. Once, being shown at our local show of HesketNew–Market, a run-away horse came across the field out of control and leapt over her but she never blinked an eye! She was also dam of Haltcliffe Rembrandt which was the first Limousin to win the Individual Interbreed Championship at the Royal Highland Show in 1986; and Haltcliffe Aristocrat (Junior Champion Royal Show 1987) and Haltcliffe Christine both of which were exported to South Africa in1988. By the end of the 90s we had a 120-cow herd with some families that had come in from some top French herds over the years.

Foot & Mouth was very sore on the Limousin breed in 2001 with a lot of very good herds being wiped out and some wonderful genetics being lost. We had 120 cows which just went overnight, on the 8th May 2001, 22 years to the day that the first ones came in 1979. There was never any doubt about restocking with Limousin again. Dad and I had two trips to France in 2001 looking for heifers - the second one taking in the French National Show being held that year in Brive where I saw the best cow I had ever seen in the heifer with calf at foot class. I tried several times unsuccessfully to buy her, while Dad bought the sixmonth old calf at foot - his name was Sympa - I think the rest is history! He came home with 20 heifers and, along with cattle purchased from Ronick, Cloughhead, Brontemoor, Allanfauld & Beeches, were the foundations of the new Haltcliffe Herd and thanks must go out to all for allowing us to purchase some wonderful females that Summer. Now, 20 years on, Sympa has about 2,500 registered progeny to his name, Renoncule’s sons have sold into top ANNUAL JOURNAL 2021 | 95

Haltcliffe Cattle

Over the years we have always tried to have good female families. To our mind, the best bulls always come from the best cows and in our time in the breed the best breeding bulls we have had are Broadmeadows Cannon, Sympa and Cloughhead Umpire which have all been out of wonderful cows. Our proudest moments came in 2011 with the winning by the Haltcliffe Herd of the British Limousin National Herd Competition, this coming at a time when we had sold the 100,000gns Haltcliffe Vermount in February 2006 and the 72,000gns Haltcliffe DJ in February 2010 - the two most expensive beef bulls ever sold in the UK at the time. And as you all know, the fairer sex is so important in a farmer’s life. I even took Shiela to see cattle in France on our honeymoon in 1985. She was not that impressed at the time, but we are still together 35 years later so it can’t have been all bad and the French breeders we visited thought it was very romantic! Looking back over the 42 years we have been in Limousins, it’s great to see how many friends we have all over the UK, Eire and the rest of the world that we would never have known without the red cattle with beautiful white rings around their eyes.

work with the colleges to prove that the natural methane from cattle and sheep is nothing more than hot air that does no harm at all, also show that livestock in the uplands not only turn our wonderful grass that nobody can utilise into a high-quality protein that is a joy to eat but also facilitates a huge carbon sink that benefits us all, as well as maintaining our beautiful landscape that the tourists love to visit to see the wildlife that lives hand-in-hand with a wellmanaged hill. I also think that very quickly we should get to the situation where there are no palm oils or Brazilian soya in any beef, dairy or sheep

In those early days, some farmers in other breeds advised us that if we had to get into Limousin then we should “make some quick money but remember to get out before the music stops.” Well, I can tell you that the band is still playing very loud and will keep doing so for another 50 years. As we have the breed that can suit all farm environments with cattle that can be slaughtered at a great range of weights for different meat trade requirements, then it is our job as members of the British Limousin Cattle Society, to breed top-quality cattle that calve easily, milk well and go on to produce the superb fine-grained, mouth-watering meat that we all know and love from this wonderful breed of cattle. And we must say a big thank you to those original pioneering breeders who brought these cattle to our shores and to the late great Louis de Neuville for selling them to the world.

e are indebted to three of Jack’s sons, Simon, Tim and William for the following thoughts and recollections about their father’s involvement in the very first importation of Limousin cattle from France in 1971 and the breed’s subsequent development. The Bedells are a family who have been totally consumed by Limousin cattle, so here three sons of ‘The Father’ of the breed in the UK tell their own Limousin stories…….and not forgetting Mum, Hester, as behind every good man is a good woman! Jack died in 2004 and Hester passed away in January 2020. Background to the first import Jack Bedell was a traditional Shropshire-Welsh Border farmer running suckler cows and breeding ewes. The cows were a mix of Scottish and Irish Angus and Hereford crosses along with Blue Greys, crossed with Angus and Hereford bulls, selling suckled calves or, finished cattle to the Shropshire 98 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Fatstock Society of which he was a director. Disappointed with the calves’ growth rate, Charolais-cross bulls were tried in the late 1960’s but led to increased calving difficulties. On a visit to the Paris show in 1967, Jack came across the Limousin breed. He could see that this mediumsized, hardy, beefy breed from the Massif Central region would suit his 1,000ft upland farm. He was attracted by their fine bone, easy calving and milkiness, yet having great conformation and muscling suited to the emerging demand for high yielding lean beef for the supermarket trade. Thus he was one of the original importers of Limousin cattle into the UK and two heifers, Filoche and Fringante arrived at The Linch House from the first importation in 1971.

The first Limousin imports in UK quarantine

Although a Brucellosis breakdown meant the disappointing loss of the original two heifers, more imports soon followed and led to the formation of both the Wintles Herd and the Limousin Society owned “Bedell” Herd. Favourites in the early days were the 1973 import, Hamecon, and his son, Bedell Maurice, both Royal Show Male Champions, and later, Djerk, whose shape coined the phrase ‘Rumps are Trumps’! Limousin’s Commercial Merits However, the early and continued success of the Limousin breed in the UK must partly be due to the fact that, early on, the breed attracted sound commercial suckler men like Jack Bedell and Seorus Robertson in Northumberland, who used Limousin www.limousin.co.uk

bulls on their crossbred suckler cows and then turned out the resultant progeny in their local markets, therefore attracting the attention of their neighbours and hence demand for the breed. Butchers soon realized the high killing-out percentage of Limousin crosses and would pay a premium.

Limousin Heifers Outwintered

At the same time, the use of Limousin bulls, imported by the Milk Marketing Board (MMB), on Friesian dairy cows meant the Limousin x Friesian would soon become a popular suckler cow, and would form the basis of the commercial herd at The Linch House, producing three quarter-bred progeny with very good conformation. This was amply demonstrated by Bedell threequarter-bred Limousins winning the Supreme Carcase Championship at the Royal Smithfield Show in 1991,1993 and 1994, shown by the Hopwood Family from York. Breed Promotion in the early days The 1970s were heady days in the UK beef cattle industry, as the floodgates opened to the importation of the ‘exotic’

breeds: Charolais had already arrived in the early 1960s, but were followed from 1970 onwards by Limousin, Simmental, Blonde D’Aquitaine, Maine-Anjou, Salers, Chianina, Romagnola, Marchigiana, Piedmontese, Belgian Blue and Gelbvieh from Europe as well as Murray Grey from Australia. Each breed set up their own breed society, and Limousin breed UK pioneer, Peter Stewart, organised the setting up of the Limousin Society in April 1970 becoming the first Secretary. He was succeeded by Doug Lewis in 1971, a fiery, enthusiastic and energetic Welshman, who loved his rugby and who was to remain Secretary for the rest of the decade. He was ably assisted in the Society offices in British Rail House in Shrewsbury by Doreen Lewis (no relation). This was a great partnership, which ensured that the early days of Limousin in the UK were well planned, organised and administered. Tony Matthews of Bernard Thorpe & Partners acted as Treasurer of the Society from 1971-85, and also handled the all-important administration and financial work needed for each Limousin cattle importation from France in subsequent years, remembering that quarantine periods were required on both sides of The Channel. Agricultural shows were very important in the early days in demonstrating Limousin cattle to UK farmers – in particular the three

summer Royals, but also regional shows and the Christmas fatstock events. There was a real ‘buzz’ about

the Limousin stands, as UK farmers and overseas visitors excitedly inspected the ‘new shape of the beef industry’ in the form of live pedigree and crossbred Limousin cattle. Competition was fierce between the breed societies at these shows, so much so that at one Royal Show a Bedell-bred crossbred Limousin suckled calf was spotted (by its ear tag) on another breed society’s stand! It was at the Royal Show in 1972 that ten yearling Limousin heifers were exhibited by the French cattle exporting organisation - Confranimex - to promote the breed. This proved to be a great marketing coup as – don’t forget – the Royal Show was the major domestic and international event drawing livestock farmers from far and wide to see these fantastic golden-red cattle.

Establishment of the Society’s Own Herd 1972-1979 Due to the veterinary complications and high costs of returning these cattle to France after the show, Louis de Neuville, the President of the French Limousin Herd Book Society, and Jack Bedell, the first Chairman of The British Limousin Cattle Society, devised a scheme to set up a British Limousin Cattle Society demonstration herd on Jack's farm in Bishops Castle, Shropshire. This was, again, a great initiative to promote Limousins.

Jack Bedell, BLCS Chairman, and farming in Bishops Castle, was only half an hour from the Shrewsbury Society office, while Doug Lewis, the Secretary, was only half an hour from the Limousin Society demonstration herd - to which there were many visits from all over the UK, as well as from around the world, from farmers and press. At that time, there was also a market for British Limousin cattle and semen from countries like the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, who could not import Limousins directly from France. The first official sales

18 foundation cows, 6 half-bred bulls and 2 steers. The first BLCS sale of purebred Limousins was held at The Royal Show in 1976, with John Thornborrow as auctioneer.

There was much anticipation and excitement as the 10 heifers first arrived on the Shropshire farm: British farmers could now visit and see Limousins in a true upland British farming environment, where the cows were outwintered at up to 900 feet above sea level. The Society herd was given the prefix ‘BEDELL’ and was ably looked after by William Gosling & Leslie Watkin, who used their stockmanship skills honed

This trial was reported in the BLCS’s first “Eye-to-Eye” publication and elicited a typically strong reaction from Society Secretary, Doug Lewis: “These words should be written in every member’s heart and on every beast’s backside!” He went onto proclaim that: “This is the Gospel, the Law and the Prophets about crossbred bullocks sired by Limousin bulls out of Friesian cows.” Adds William Bedell: ‘Doug Lewis was a serious act to follow but the new Secretary, Claire Powell, certainly managed it when she took over the reins in 1980.’ William, incidentally, was the first Young Limousin Breeders Club Chairman and credits then Chairman Richard Oates for helping to establish this new initiative in the late 80s with the first YLBC event staged at Richard’s Lumbylaw Herd. To finally convince farmers of the superior carcase and butchers animal credentials of the Limousin breed, it was necessary to overturn the domination of Charolais at the prestigious Smithfield Show held in December every year at Earls Court in London. What had virtually been a Charolais monopoly came to an end in 1981 when Limousin entries won both the Supreme & Champion Carcase from entries by Edward Swindell, Brant Broughton, Lincs & David Matthews from Bridgend in Wales respectively. It was not until 1984 that the Supreme Beast in Show title was won by the Limousin ‘Thunderflash,’ a thirteen-monthold half bred Limousin steer, bred by Archie Black from Campbeltown and out of a Simmental x Angus cow and shown by Alex Herbage from Invernesshire.

the carcase. Dieter Jobst (Limousin Cattle Breeders UK Ltd and owner of the Hampton Limousin herd) was the maestro in this regard and produced the very first BLCS promotional booklet “Limousin Carcase Breed” in which he demonstrated Limousin - Built For Profit. Dieter also researched and compiled the report “Limousin and the British Beef Trade” from extensive tests conducted by the Dalgety Buswell abattoir at Blisworth and the MLC carcase unit (next door). Roger Buswell, Commercial Director of Dalgety Buswell commented in 1975: “Limousin carcases of the quality we have handled can certainly earn a premium and inject vitally important efficiency to the industry at every stage – producer, wholesaler and retailer.” Dieter crowned all of his work for the Limousin Society with the publication in 1986 of his wonderful book “Limousin Cattle in the United Kingdom” which has been a great source of material for the 50th Journal. A very influential early independent trial was “The Limousin and Simmental Tests Steering Committee” which was run as a condition set by the Ministry of Agriculture of importing the new breed. The trial was chaired by Professor W Holmes from Wye College of Agriculture. He concluded: “They (steers sired by Limousin bulls out of British Friesian dairy cows) yielded exceptionally high values for killing-out percentage, lean meat ratio, proportion of high priced cuts, eye muscle area, and ratio of muscle to bone.”

The 1970s and early 1980s was an exciting time for the British Beef Industry with the Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and other native breeds being challenged by the arrival of the Continentals. The race was on to see which breeds would prevail and, 50 years later, it is great to see that all of the early efforts have paid off for British Limousin! Although the Limousin breed in the UK has changed over the last 50 years, the Bedell Family have endeavoured to keep to the original medium sized, easy fleshing type and so continue 50 years on, to sell top quality, well grown suckled calves and store cattle in Bishops Castle Market. As long as breeders remember why the breed was originally imported in 1971, it should have a bright future in an uncertain post Brexit world!

Ardigon Herd Jim Scott

Showing Days

t the Royal Ulster Show in 1980, Jim Scott celebrated a double victory with his homebred heifer Ardigon Nimble (Fanfaron x Kismet) winning the Female Championship and the bull Kilfrush Mercury (Hockey x Irleau) bred by S O’Brien and exhibited by the ‘Young’ Jim taking the Male title with the bull later sold to the Normande Herd of Norman Cruickshank. That night, Young Jim returned home proud of his win but Father also Jim – wasn’t so interested in the title. “Where’s the money?” he said first and followed it up with “Why didn’t you sell her at the Show?” Father went in the next day to find a buyer which he duly did in the form of Mr TW Sterling who bought her for £3,000 and later established the Laurelbank Herd. A luckpenny to seal the deal came by way of putting her in calf to Kilfrush Mercury. Nimble then had a calf, Laurelbank Sam, who went on to win the Male Championship at Balmoral in 1982! Says Jim: “Of course Dad was always right and you should never fall in love with your beast, only your wife! There is ‘always a better one never born yet’ and I used that expression when congratulating Henry Savage when he sold the 140,000gns Trueman Jagger for a new Limousin world record in October 2015.”

came into the ring. Incidentally, Rocket was bought for 6,000gns by EA Down & Sons’ Creedy Herd in Devon. Tanhill Rumpus was the father of Broadmeadows Ainsi, the mother of Broadmeadows Cannon. Ainsi, in turn, is the dam of Ronick Iceman (978 progeny) as well as the full siblings Ronick Gains (913 progeny) and the noted cow Ronick McAinsi – both by Talent (1,619 progeny) At the sale in Carlisle in October 1981, Jim also saw Haltcliffe Rembrandt. “I couldn’t believe my eyes at such a remarkable beast which made an awful lot of money.” The story unfolds as follows: arriving at Matt & Craig Ridley’s Haltcliffe Herd on May 8th 1979 was one of their most valuable foundation cows, Hampton Margaret, a Frisson

Limousin to win the supreme beef championship at the Royal Highland Show – and Haltcliffe Aristocrat who stood junior champion at the Royal Show in 1987 before being sold to South Africa. Haltcliffe’s first stock bull was the French import Poet – sire of Rembrandt. Rembrandt has 226 registered progeny to date. Broadmeadows Cannon 8,000gns Carlisle 1988 (3,139 registered progeny to date) It was the 8,000gns investment in the 14-month-old Broadmeadows Cannon in 1988 – after he won his class at Carlisle – that proved to be a landmark purchase for Haltcliffe. As one of the breed’s most prolific sires, Cannon had a massive influence at Haltcliffe and across the entire breed – both in the UK and abroad. Progeny include Wilodge Priceless, dam of Wilodge Cerberus, Sarkley Sebastian (226 progeny) and Aghadowey Alix (dam of Dinmore Elle) among many

others. Says Jim: “Broadmeadows Cannon’s sire, Broadmeadows VIP is out of a wonderful cow (Hampton Nadine – see below). Broadmeadows Cannon’s dam, Broadmeadows Ainsi is also out of a wonderful cow (Broadmeadows Tansy) so this very much cements my view that good stock are bred out of good females lines.” Best Advice Recalls Jim, Yvonne King Forster cautioned him to ‘Never approach a potential buyer until they speak to you first.’ Jim’s Dad was one of the first people at the time with a Toyota Landcruiser which led to Mrs Forster commenting ‘the last time I saw one of those was in Beirut with a gun mounted on it’. When the Scotts had taken a squad of heifers to the ‘old’ Perth in 1981, Bob Adam Snr approached him and said ‘what’s your best stock?’ which resulted in the purchase of Ballysorrell Pansy which was one of the foundation females for the Newhouse Herd of RM Adam & Son.

Hampton Nadine

Influential Dams When looking back to the Royal Show of 1984, judge Jim Goldie put up Druk Larissa (bred by Druk Cattle and owned by WR Powner & Sons) and Hampton Nadine (bred by Hampton-Bartletts Limousin and owned by Crighton Farms) as his Overall Supreme & Reserve Champions respectively. “These two remarkable animals followed each other right through the classes. In a way, Jim Goldie got it so right but also so wrong because the paternal granddam of Broadmeadows Cannon is Hampton Nadine and, in my eyes, more maternal and my favourite brood cow of all time, being tremendously feminine.

Druk Larissa 29,000gns & Canfield Ultrasonic sold October 1985 to Dr Vernon Ryan, Texas, USA. L-R John Powner, Vernon Ryan, Mr Watson-Steele, Ian Smethurst, Richard Bartle

Of course, Jim Goldie didn’t really get it wrong because Larissa was exported to the States in 1985 for what was a record sum of 29,000gns and of course after that she never had the chance to prove herself as a breeding cow in the UK.”

ery much a family affair, we follow the recollections of the Fotheringham & Adam families who are both steeped in Limousin breeding over the past 40-odd years. Mary and the late Alan Fotheringham established the Westhall Herd at Craighall, Forgandenny, Perth in 1979. The Westhall prefix is now run at Over Finlarg Farm, Tealing, Dundee by Mary and her daughter Hazel who is married to Robert McNee. Elder daughter, Kay, is married to Bob Adam whose father Drew set up the Newhouse Herd at Newhouse of Glamis, Forfar, in 1979. It is good to see Kay & Bob’s boys, Andrew & James, also on board and now with their own Glamis prefix.

Westhall Supersonic Royal Show Female Champion 1986

Q. When did you see your first Limousin cattle?

Dad (Alan) first saw a Limousin bull in a photograph in the Farmers Weekly, that bull being Burton Majority, a 1976-born son of Fanfaron bred by Mike & Peta Keeble. It was the well-fleshed hind quarters and overall impressive conformation that drew him to the breed - a breed that has given our family a wealth of friends and some unforgettable memories. Dad headed south to Carlisle in October 1978 and bought the bull Marden Nero from Wisteston Farms; he also bought a heifer that day called Bewick Melody from RH Leonard which was the start of Westhall Limousins – Melody going on to have 8 calves in the herd, the first being Westhall Royalhighness in 1980, sired by Marden Nero. She also bred Westhall Supersonic sired by Harvest Olympus who was Female Champion at the Royal Show in1986. We remember cows getting flushed and eggs implanted surgically in the early days! Technology in that department has really moved on. Limousins were virtually unknown in our area and Mum (Mary) recalls many visits from neighbours and other farmers to view our new purchase out with cows. But tragedy struck Nero and before his calves were on the ground, he suffered an injury to a back leg and had to be 104 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

put down. So, Dad took a gamble and headed back to Carlisle to find his replacement which came in the shape of Harvest Olympus (Wintershall Jupiter x Laborieuse) bred by Christopher Cliff, a bull that would go on to win Champion Limousin in 1980 at the Royal Highland Show before selling for export to Canada in 1982 for a breed record at the time of 7,500gns. He was thought to be one of the tallest Limousin bulls in the world at that time and stood 156cms at his withers and weighed 1,260kg when he boarded the plane for Canada. www.limousin.co.uk

Exports in the 1970s It is worth noting that a thriving export trade to North America in the early to mid-seventies effectively dried up due to a combination of rising grain and oil prices – it had become uneconomic to not only transport animals overseas by plane but then feed them when they were in situ – with the beef industry in free fall. The International Limousin Congress held in England in 1981 helped open up a new export era for Limousins – the export of Harvest Olympus was the first real export in four years! YEAR

Nero’s calves were now on the ground and looking good, growing faster than their Aberdeen Angus counterparts so Dad put his faith in the breed from then on and even bulled his pure Angus with the Limousin. Newhouse dispersed their Aberdeen Angus herd so the Limousins were brought in to replace them and run alongside the Charolais herd which had previously replaced the Shorthorns. Continental cattle with faster growth rates was what the market was after. Turning to Newhouse and it was Drew, with his father Bob Snr who had made visits to see the Limousin breed with one of these being to Westhall. The first Limousin calves were born at Newhouse in 1979 following the purchase of three foundation cows bought in and flushed

with the whole herd going back to them - other than through marriage - with a further two Westhall animals joining. Black genetics were added to the herd in the late nineties.

Q. What’s the best animal you’ve ever bred?

Westhall: That would be the black Limousin bull Westhall Jammy who has put a big stamp on the Westhall and Newhouse herds Newhouse: That would be Newhouse Nougat, a bull sold privately to Peter Alexander, Mains of Mause. We wanted to take him to a sale but Peter just had to have him, and a deal was done which included using him on our own herd.

Q. What’s the best animal you’ve ever seen?

Westhall: Ronick Danita was a very sweet, correct and feminine animal. Newhouse: Grahams Samson - we were underbidders on him that day, he was some bull.

Q. What changes have you seen over the years?

Westhall: In the beginning, we worked hard as breeders to promote the breed with each summer show acting as a shop window, travelling round with our cattle and the Limousin banner pinned up beside them. The Society was small and members were one big family, and everybody knew what a ‘rumps are trumps’ sticker was. Cattle have become very extreme and lost a bit of their femininity. The introduction of black genetics has brought back a bit of the individuality allowing us to cater for another market. Newhouse: There have been many changes - cattle are heavier - I remember the day you made sure a bucket of water was the last thing you did before heading on a weighbridge during inspection, as weight was a common failure when bulls got rejected for being underweight. Feet and locomotion have suffered with heavier carcases, muscling has become quite extreme in cases. Myostatin has taken over from weight recording. Polled genetics have gained ground and black cattle matter within commercial herds.

Q. What’s your abiding memory?

We all say the day Harvest Olympus was tied onto the lorry for his export journey, Mum was crying her eyes out. Hazel was sucking her two fingers, she was only 4 and didn’t understand what the tears were for but she understands it now! It was a bitter-sweet day for Dad & Mum as he had played such a big part in establishing Westhall Herd. In fact, Dad visited the bull at the McBrides in Canada, and he was sure he remembered him. Kay did write to ‘Jim’ll Fix It’ to see if she could go but she never did get a reply. Later in life, Dad would take us to the stock show in Denver, USA where we were always on the look-out for black genetics. Dad was known as ‘Mr Harvest Olympus’ over there so it was always a good way of starting up a conversation as a topic of introduction. Once when Hazel and Kay were in a hotel bar in Denver speaking with some Canadians, Harvest Olympus was mentioned and we were told that he had ‘died in his barn’ of old age so Dad was happy he knew what had come of the bull and that he’d had a good life. The Canadian rancher was quite surprised that after getting Olympus already at an old age, he would bump into the family that exported him – and all that in a random bar, in Denver!

Q. What’s the best advice you’ve been given?

What are the future opportunities/ challenges? The future is good as long as plenty of young people get involved in the breed. The challenges are that native breads are catching up with the Limousin breed in terms of growth rates. We can’t afford to lose their maternal traits. We must invest in our young breeders who are the future of the breed. The Young Limousin Breeders Club has seen a lot of good training dished out over the years with its competitions the launching pad for many a member now on the Society judging panel. As breeders, we must always listen to the commercial buyer - these are our customers - and if we can’t produce what they ask then we will lose out to others. We should always put the commercial man first and if a pedigree bull comes along then it’s a bonus!

Applesham Herd Chris Passmore

Established 1973 Number of calves registered 1,269

Member of the Society since 1973, Chris Passmore OBE turns 90 this year and is still actively farming Limousins commercially on the South Downs in Sussex alongside his nephew, Hugh. Two other brothers farmed in Hampshire & Oxfordshire respectively, with nephew, David, now running the Mays prefix near the River Thames in Wallingford. Chris, along with Jane Brown, established the South East Limousin Club and was the first South East representative on the BLCS Council of Management. He was awarded the OBE for services to Nature, Conservation and Agriculture in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List in 2006.

Q. When did you see your first

Limousin cattle? Having farmed beef cattle over generations, I came across my first Continental cattle in 1972 in Banbury Market. Ordinary good cattle at the time were making about £12/ hundredweight but continentals were fetching £14 so we as a family decided we ‘ought to do something about it.’

Q. What got you into the breed?

Having looked at Charolais & Simmental, a visit to the Royal show in 1972 saw the first Limousin display cattle sent over from France – 10 heifers all lined up in a row. One of the original imported bulls, Funambule, was also there. I got pretty excited as it was like looking at a lot of new Landrace pigs at the time and decided that this is what we had to have. The inaugural International Limousin Congress in Limoges in 1973 saw the third overseas buying mission - all BLCS Members were allocated two animals but new Members like me were allowed one extra. In France, I saw cows calve outside and cattle outwintered which is the same system I favour today on The Downs with its free-draining chalky land.

108 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Q. What was that first buying

visit to France like? Cattle were offered at a fixed price for three different grades. Jean-Luc Kress, who was at the time a paid advisor to Louis de Neuville, took me to three herds. The French had quickly adopted performance testing so they had good records and I was able to see which progeny had had calving issues or had calves been sold for meat rather than retained for breeding so I gradually whittled down the animals to my three: two from Chastenet (Ilupe & Ise) and one from De Blomac (Ipocrite). Coincidentally, Ipocrite’s mother was also the dam of Funambule.

Q. How did you then progress?

In the early days I used AI (bulls like Fanfaron) on my females and I also bought a bull, Favori, and used him on my crossbreds but found the calves nervous – a trait I didn’t want in my pures so I went to Dieter Jobst who had a pen of three young ninemonth-old bulls for sale. Two backed away as I entered the pen so I bought the one that just stood there – this was Hampton Justin (Frisson x Hermine), a lovely quiet bull, who was responsible for over 40 progeny in my Applesham Herd.

Q. What was the influence of the Limousin on beef production in those early years? I used to sell 10-15 commercials at a time to the abattoir usually half of them Lim crosses and half Sussex crosses. I always used to then go and look at the cattle on the hook and both myself and the grader could pick out the Lims as they outperformed in both yield and price. The Co-op buyer at the time always made a beeline for my Lims. I knew I was onto a good thing and the meat buyers and butchers knew they were also.

Q. What is your farming

operation like today? In many ways, it’s not so very different. I register all my females and run my pedigree Limousins essentially as good commercial cows numbering 60 breeding females. The Sussex is my local breed and enjoys a good trade from butchers, pubs and farm shops in the area. I run a Sussex and a Limousin bull with the best cows going to the Limousin which also enables me to breed replacements. The lower draw go to the Sussex with offspring then enjoying the Sussex premium buoyed further by the Limousin carcase traits and hybrid vigour giving me the best of both

worlds – a thick loin, good top and great hindquarter.

Q. What’s the best advice you’ve

been given? This came from Jack Bedell (Wintles Herd) and the King Forsters (Tanhill Herd) who helped advise me during that first buying trip to France in ‘73. “When buying cattle, do your homework and get your shortlist together, look at the breeding and performance records, look at the dam and granddam but ultimately buy what you want and don’t be swayed by others’ opinions.”

Ronick Herd

Established 1980 Number of calves registered to date 4,716

David Dick

LIMOUSIN – A FAMILY AFFAIR

he Ronick Herd of over 250 breeding females was established in 1980 and belongs to the Dick Family, based at Mains of Throsk in the Carse of Stirling in Central Scotland. David Dick, wife Alison, sons Ronald and Christopher, daughter Wendy and grand-daughter Stephanie farm 3000 acres of good arable land to the east of Stirling. David and Alison’s daughter, Wendy, is married to Ian Callion and the couple run their own pedigree Lodge Limousin herd nearby. In turn, the third generation has embarked on a life within Limousin with Ian’s son and daughter-in law, James and Alison Callion, establishing the Melbreak Herd in Northern Ireland, and Ronald & Cheryl’s daughter, Stephanie, setting up her Stephick prefix. David Dick was born onto a small, tenanted Stirlingshire farm. At just

seven, with his feet only just reaching the tractor pedals, he ploughed at his first ploughing match and won a third prize. Before he had ploughed at his last, he had won three Scottish championships and a British championship in 1970. His son Ronald inherited David’s determination, which has also resulted in national glory for the family – his schoolboy calf rearing enterprise generated the funds to buy a pedigree Limousin, founding the Ronick herd. David Dick’s match plough, a Ransome, is still at Throsk, although he is unlikely to enter another ploughing match he still ploughs a large proportion of the 2300 arable acres every year at the age of 84! A glance at the history of the Ronick herd reveals an array of achievements. The herd has bred one of the most prolific bulls in the Limousin breed, showed the first Limousin to win the Royal Show Individual Beef Championship and has bucketsful of championship

rosettes from the very top shows in the land. And it all started with ‘Barney’. Ronald Dick fed Barney, a Friesian bull calf, every morning and evening, before and after school. When Barney was sold, he returned enough money for Ronald to buy three calves. These three bought nine and so things progressed. Some years later, Ronald Dick had amassed £5,000 from his calf venture and knew exactly how he would spend it. While Ronald had been rearing calves, his father had been buying and finishing store cattle. “In the 1970’s I bought my first bunch of Limousin cross suckled calves out of Lanark Mart”, explained David. “They out-performed any other cattle I had ever bought. From then on, I not only aimed to buy Limousin crosses, but also converted the suckler herd to Limousin x Friesian cows put to Limousin bulls.” Ronald had decided to invest his £5,000 in a pedigree Limousin female. On 28th March 1980, he was

www.limousin.co.uk

2007 about to leave Throsk for a Limousin sale at Carlisle, when his father said “I’ll just jump in the car with you.” “Good job he came”, said Ronald. “I chose in-calf Fingask Natalie with Keerholme Pandora at foot. She sold for 5,500gns, over my budget, so Dad made up the difference.” In fact, David also bought one for himself – the maiden heifer Skelden Ombre. The Ronick herd was founded in 1980, with Ronald & David purchasing their pick from the Druk herd (Druk Oiseau – top priced in-calf heifer at 4,200gns) and the Tanhill herd (Tanhill Martel and Tanhill Rondelle purchased for 4,100gns). It was Tanhill Rondelle who lit the spark for Wendy and her love of Limousin. When Rondelle calved her second calf, Ronick Umby, prematurely in October 1983, Wendy had to hand-rear her for the first few days until the milk came on Rondelle. This resulted in a strong friendship bond being formed between the calf and Wendy. On Christmas morning, the front doorbell rang and when Wendy went out there was the ten-week-old heifer calf, Umby, tied to the front gate with tinsel round her neck as Wendy’s Christmas present. She was overjoyed and it was a start of a great friendship and love of the Limousin breed! In 1985 Ronick Umby was entered for the Highland Show having a been shown locally with some success. Wendy remembers “It was a big class as I recall but to my delight, I was pulled in first and my friend Kay Fotheringham (now Kay Adam, Newhouse) was second. This was duly

www.limousin.co.uk

dashed about half an hour later (yes, that long!) when the heifer standing seventh was pulled up to first. I was gobsmacked - but that’s showing - and I was still delighted with my second-place ticket!” Umby went on to breed exceptionally well, with a son, Ronick Dumby, selling to John Logan’s Homebyres Herd, and Ronick Fumby transferred to the Lodge Herd which was established when Wendy got married to Ian Callion in 1993. Fumby went on to have 15 natural calves with many descendants still in the Lodge Herd today. In 1981 the Dicks needed a good stock bull. October 1981, Carlisle, an Osiris son Goldies Rascal, a prize winner at the 1981 International Limousin Congress show, caught their eye. “We also liked the look of Tanhill Rumpus, another bull at the ILC,” explained David, “but we opted for Rascal and paid a new record price – 8,000gns.” That record lasted approximately 15 minutes – when Tanhill Rumpus took his turn in the ring, he sold for 8,500gns, to Douglas Crighton of the Broadmeadows Herd. Over two decades later, Limousin enthusiasts now know that had the Dicks bought Rumpus, they would have re-written British Limousin history. There would not have been a Broadmeadows Cannon. For when Douglas Crighton mated Tanhill Rumpus with Broadmeadows Tansy, she produced Broadmeadows Ainsi. Ainsi, when mated with the Favorisired Broadmeadows VIP, bred a bull called Broadmeadows Cannon, destined to be the father figure for many years in the history of the British Limousin breed.

In 1986 another major influence on the Ronick herd was purchased when David purchased a half share in Talent for 8,000gns from Dan Haak. Talent went on not only to win Breed Champion and part of the Reserve Burke Trophy pair at the Royal show in 1988, but also to sire many top-quality females and bulls in the Ronick herd, that have been a major influence on the Limousin breed to this day such as Uplands Batman, Ronick Cosmos and Ronick Gains.

In 1988 one of the best decisions for the Ronick herd was made with the purchase of Broadmeadows Ainsi at the Broadmeadows Dispersal sale for 8,200gns. She had already bred Broadmeadows Cannon (mentioned above) who subsequently topped

Broadmeadows Ainsi not only won glory for the Ronick Herd when she won the breed championship, she also went on to grab the glory for the entire Limousin breed, by becoming the first Limousin to win the prestigious Supreme Interbreed Individual Championship, just one of her many top show successes. The following year at Throsk, a very special Ainsi grandson was born – Ronick Hawk, sired by Broadmeadows Cannon and out of Ronick Esther (a Talent daughter). While being shown at the Royal Show as a youngster, Hawk was spotted by Genus, who bought him privately for their AI stud. He has since become the Number One Limousin sire and one of the leading commercial sires of his generation, guaranteeing both pedigree and

crossbred breeders’ consistent top quality. Broadmeadows Ainsi has proved herself to be more than just a bull breeder – in November 1997 at the Carlisle Red Ladies Sale, Ronick McAinsi, out of Broadmeadows Ainsi and sired by Talent, won the championship and topped the sale at a new maiden heifer all-breeds record of 28,000gns when selling to Doug Mash of the Brockhurst Herd. Broadmeadows Ainsi was not just a beautiful cow, but also the type of cow every breeder dreams of owning – with strength of breeding capable of producing top quality calves of either sex, sired by a variety of bulls. The Dicks had the foresight to buy her even before they had seen the quality of her son, Broadmeadows Cannon’s calves. Whether it was luck or judgement, who knows? Whichever it was, either luck or judgement had also been in play in 1981. Building numbers for

Danita, Scottish Female of the Year 1995, Overall champion Limousin 2000 in 1996, plus 1997 Royal Highland champion, where she beat her daughter Ronick Janita into reserve.

Her outstanding show career included: (between 1997 and 2000) Royal Show Burke Trophy, Reserve Royal Show Burke Trophy, Royal Show – two Supreme Championships and two Reserve Supreme Championships. Royal Highland – two Supreme Championships and two Reserve Supreme Championships, a Limousin 2000 Supreme Championship and Scottish Female of the Year, three times. Janita’s daughter – Ronick Tanita - was Junior champion at the 2003 Royal Highland. “To win what we did with Broadmeadows Ainsi was absolutely wonderful,” said David, “but nothing can beat the thrill of winning a big show with one of your own home-bred animals and Beauty, Danita, Janita and Tanita

only a corner section in the breed society tent shared with other breeds. The next stage was a caravan that the then Breed Secretary, Peter Reynolds, towed up for the show in which he also slept at night. The stand at the Highland gradually got bigger over the years eventually incorporating a bar. The camaraderie at the Royals was terrific, one of the social highlights being the kist parties down the lines which were organised by myself, David Cormack, Stuart Renton and ‘chief bouncer’ Martin Mugele. We would collect a nominal fee and head to the supermarket in Leamington Spa to buy the ‘provisions’! The party at the Royal filled up the whole length and width of the shed with exhibitors, stockmen and of course the bowlerhatted stewards.

Council members on the way, including Bill Callion who owned the Lodge Herd. This was the start of the link and friendship between the two herds, Ronick & Lodge. The Lodge herd of pedigree Limousins was established by Bill Callion in 1980 at Lodge Farm, Great Clifton, Cumbria. The first Limousin animal purchased to run with the commercial herd was a bull from Richard Oates in 1979 called Lumbylaw Orator. This was followed over the next few years with very enthusiastic and enjoyable trips all over the UK to try and purchase new females from such herds as Tanhill, Uplands, Goldies and many others, meeting new breeders and enthusiasts along the way! These people have become life-long friends. One of Ian’s favourite purchases was Uplands Batman (sired by Talent) bought from Dan Haak. Batman was born in Hampshire on 31st May 1986 and died there in May 1999 (he was then owned by Keith Barnet, Buriton Estates Herd). Ian Callion says “During the time we had him, we had some great fun with him at the shows all over the UK”. Batman sired many top-quality females in the Lodge Herd, the top one being Lodge Ella, who in 1992 won Reserve Female Champion at the Royal Show, Breed Champion at the Great Yorkshire and Cumberland

Show. She was sold in 1993 to Les Wilson for 8,500gns. Other typical Batman daughters in the Lodge herd over the years were Lodge Jergie, Lodge Hockey and Lodge Harmony who you will find in many of the back pedigrees of the females in the Lodge herd today. A major reduction sale of the Lodge herd was held in 1993, after the sale, 10 maiden heifers and 2 older cows moved north to Bolfornought Farm, Stirling to form the nucleus of the Lodge herd that we have today. It was at that point that Wendy’s daughters from Ronick Umby combined with purchased Ronick Flair were merged with the Lodge herd, that had moved up from Cumbria. Lodge Fumby proved to be a prolific breeder and lived to a ripe old age of 18 producing great progeny. At one point a third of the herd went back to her. Who would have known at the time that they all were a result of a Christmas present in 1983. This Ronick and Lodge connection continued with the private purchase of Ronick Luke (sired by Broadmeadows Cannon out of a Talent daughter) in 1996. Luke has bred some exceptional stock for the Lodge herd including Lodge Raleigh who sold for 10,500gns in 2002, Lodge Usa who was Champion at Carlisle in 2004 and sold for 9,200gns and Lodge Natterbox who sold for 6,600gns to the Glangwden herd owned by Chris & Fiona Jerman. His daughters were also exceptional females and one – Lodge Piccolo provided one of the herd’s highlights by winning Junior Female Champion at the Royal Show in 2000. Ian & Wendy say that over the years they have also made some enjoyable trips to Limoges to buy stock bulls and some females to introduce fresh bloodlines into the herd, with the help of Jean-Luc Kress, whose knowledge of the breed and the French breeders was very much appreciated. They have bought some terrific cattle from some of the top herds in France including Champeval,

Patureau, Dessalas, Lagutriere and Benoit. One of the purchases was Attila from the Patureau herd, he went on to sire Poker Face the Supreme Champion animal at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair in 2010. Attila (36-15-076-572) has also sired many pedigree females in the Lodge herd that have bred exceptionally well, one example is Lodge Emerald, dam of Lodge Lavendar who sold for 7,500gns in the 2016 Lodge sale aged 13 months and Lodge Pearl who sold for 7,000gns in 2019 aged 6 months. A highlight for the herd came at the Stars of the Future show in 2012 at Forfar when Lodge Hydro (sired by Rossignol out of Lodge Electra, an Attila sired cow) was Champion Limousin and Interbreed Champion. He was shown alongside Lodge

Hamlet (sired by Saphir) who also won his class at the show, it was here that Arwel Owen from Genus spotted him. Hamlet was subsequently sold privately to Genus in June 2013 for the herd’s top price to date. Hamlet’s maternal grandsire is Broadmeadows Cannon. With 2,489 pedigree progeny to date Lodge Hamlet was most recently the sire of the 16-month-old 24,000gns Gorrycam Phantom for Stephen Reel at the October 2020 Carlisle Bull Sale when selling to CV & E Lewis’ Garyvaughan Herd in Powys.

• Lodge Jalise (sired by Ronick Gains) out of a female purchased from the Patureau herd – Balise (a Jacot daughter) won the junior section championship. The combination of the Ronick and Lodge bloodlines together with the new French genetics are proving to be successful for the Lodge herd, and this depth of breeding can be seen in the herd of 25 breeding females today. The herd have won the Scottish club medium herd competition numerous times and were delighted to win Best Overall herd in Scotland two years in a row

in 2017 & 2018. The recent purchase of Millgate Paul, for 11,000gns at the bull sale in Carlisle in October 2020 is an exciting prospect for the herd going forward. The love for Limousin has also been passed down through the generations to Ronald’s daughter, Stephanie. As you have read previously, Ronick Janita was one of the favourites and Steph found her favourite in a embryo daughter, Voici. When the recipient didn’t have much milk she used to come home from school every day, at just 10, eager to go and feed Voici and that is where it all started. In 2010 when Steph was 16 she decided to start the Stephick Herd to have something to call her own and as a foundation cow and a gift Ronald transferred Voici over to her. Steph again followed in the family’s footsteps with a passion for showing. So David and Alison imported two French females from Pierre Gillet for her Christmas one year so that she could have something different to show. They asked for one good one to show and a friend to keep her company on the journey. However, upon arrival no-one knew which was meant to be which and so Caline and Bastille both had successful show careers before joining the Stephick Herd alongside the beloved Voici.

The herd has now built up to 24 breeding females that run alongside the Ronick animals. Steph has had some success of her own with Stephick Flashi being Junior Champion and selling for 10,500gns at Stirling February 2012, Stephick

Following their quarantine in Scotland, it was a source of great pride to Peter to be able to say that he was the first person to bring Limousins into England. A hugely respected breeder, he served at Society President 2000-2003 and with his wife, Jean, was a great ambassador for the breed and Society both at home and abroad when attending memorable International Limousin Congresses. Following his death in 2012, the family have continued the rich Limousin tradition with son Ian, daughter-in-law Wendy and their four children now at the helm. Jean passed away in 2019. Ian continues the story: In the late 1960s, we used to have caravan holidays in the South of France together with the family of my future wife, Wendy, and it was on one such trip that the eight of us crammed into a Wolsey 1800 to drive from Nice to Limoges to peer through a hedge at our first Limousins! Farming as we did in Lincolnshire, it was at the local Lincoln Red Cattle Society meeting one night that a picture of the Limousin bull Neptune was held up as a way of ‘improving’ our local cattle. All the other farmers poo-pooed the idea but Dad stood up and said he was interested and said he’d start up a committee. So began the long process of garnering

interest, lobbying the Ministry, sorting out the buying mission and the import protocols. Once the first cattle landed, breeders drew lots as to who got first pick. Luckily Dad got 2nd and 69th choice so was well up on the draw which meant he not only got to pick two decent heifers, Futee (36-70-122-114) and Fortune (2370-125-315), but also got loaded up quickly - he swore blind he was the first one into England with his trailer!

Q. What are the best animals you’ve ever bred?

Cockleshell Elizabeth Royal Show 1995 Female & Reserve Overall Champion

Peter Pitcher with his first heifer Futee in 1971

Both heifers then got in-calf, and both had bull calves which had already been sold unseen before they were born for export to South Africa for £5,000 each – such was the demand for Limousin genetics at the time. Fortune brought us 8 calves before being sold at Banbury in 1983 aged 13 for 1,200gns – then going on to have another two calves under the Rivals prefix. Fortune gave us for instance Cockleshell Raven who sold at the ILC Sale in October 1981 for 2,400gns. That remains one of the great things about Limousin cattle – long-lived females who year-afteryear have quality calves that are not only born live but thrive! It’s therefore no surprise that the Limousin multiplied very fast.

Cockleshell Selina Royal Show 1987 Female Champion

This has to be Cockleshell Selina and her daughter Cockleshell Elizabeth – both Royal Show Champions. Selina was Female Champion at the Royal in 1987, later teaming up with the Male Champion, Hydesville Vandal, to win the Burke Trophy. We then flushed Selina to Hydesville Vandal and the French bull, Talent, giving us 4 and 8 calves respectively. One of the resulting Talent x Selina matings was Cockleshell Elizabeth who was Female Champion & Reserve Overall (to Goldies Gigolo) at the 1995 Royal. Gigolo and Elizabeth also stood reserve in the Burke that year.

Q. What are your herd priorities?

Going down the high-health route and performance recording are big selling points as far as we are concerned being a relatively small herd in a low-density cattle area. We like to buy bulls that combine calving ease with muscle like Winnington Trumps purchased out of Carlisle in 2004 and later on Mereside Hannibal. We tend to prefer the bigger cow; temperament is also very important to us.

My (future) wife Wendy happened to win the stockjudging and was asked to stand up and give her reasons for placing her 1st place to which she replied: “I liked its big ears and fluffy eyelashes.” First impressions count and Wendy has always been a good judge of stock!

Q. What changes have you Q. What changes have you seen

in the breed? Originally, we had the big rangey type of animal but have slowly gone down the greater conformation route. This perhaps needs a little rebalancing.

Q. What’s the best advice you’ve

been given? Big Al (stockman Alan Morgan) always said that big ears were important and that the animal would ‘grow into its ears’. Also that a big mouth/muzzle was important so as to be able to eat plenty of grass. This has always stuck with me. In fact, as young breeders back in the 80s we went up to Lumbylaw to judge stock at Richard Oates’ farm with

www.limousin.co.uk

witnessed over the years? In the early days, Limousins got a bad name for temperament but these issues can and have been bred out. It’s a strongly heritable trait and the docility scoring figures reflect that.

Q. What are the future

opportunities/challenges? Limousin is a great all-rounder, a lean breed that the supermarkets and customers like, an excellent meat breed. We do, however, need the younger ones to come through and that’s not always easy to find in places like Lincolnshire. George Twigg was our original stockman and his son, Johnny, followed in his footsteps and still does a couple of days a week for us aged 72. Our farm secretary, Sheila Mears, also came

Q. When did you see your first

Limousin cattle? It was during a visit to The Paris Show in the early 1970s that Jim first came across the Limousin breed.

Q. What got you in to the breed?

Jim was very impressed by their conformation, high meat-tobone yield with good killing-out percentage when compared to the native cattle in the UK. This combined with great maternal and ease of calving traits meant that Jim could instantly see the breed would prove to be popular in the UK and so set about establishing his own herd which he did in 1977.

style combined with length and width. We were very lucky that she combined these visual traits with super milk, temperament and calving ease. She was very correct and breedy, and crossed very well with numerous bulls. Vitality’s male progeny include Comet, Goldfinger and Fantastic but it is her daughters who took the herd to a new level. Their progeny include: Juggler who was retained; Olympia & Owain Supreme Champion & Reserve at Carlisle in February 2020 selling for 30,000gns each; Orinocco, Neymar, Nelson, Novelty, Oxo and Outlook to name a few who have all made their mark since 2019.

What’s the best animal you’ve Q. What’s the best animal you’ve Q. ever seen? ever bred? Without any doubt Goldies Vitality. She is the backbone of the herd as it is now and her daughters regularly breed top priced bulls. Vitality had tremendous breed character and

show animals and incidentally we have bought sons or close relations to them all. Special mention must go to a French cow named Emue who was never shown but what a cow she was, with all the same attributes as her granddaughter Vitality but years before her time (born in 1989). We managed to get some embryos from her including Goldies Terence and Tiffany (dam of Vitality).

Q. What changes have you seen

over the years? There has been a lot of changes over the years as the breed and the industry have progressed. An increase in weight for age, higher killing out percentage and efficiency have all been achieved but also far more science and data and expense is involved. These six bulls were sold in 1981 with no weight records, health scheme, myostatin or DNA and that would be just impossible now. These

Other highlights include Goldies Victoria who was exported to Texas in 1985 for £38,000 which was a record for a heifer at that time and record priced black Limousin at 30,000gns for Goldies Black Forever, a bull whose mother was imported

Q. What does the future hold for Osiris – 6 sons averaged £4,549 at the ‘new’ Carlisle Mart October 1981. Osiris, bred by M Goelet, was 1982 Royal Show Male Champion for the Goldies

Q. What is your abiding memory? My abiding memory is our first stock bull, Osiris*, who sired the first prize group at ILC in 1981, sold 6 sons in 1981 to average £4549, he was Royal Show Champion in 1982 and later sold for the then breed record of 9,500gns. Another abiding memory would be my selection from France of 4 stock bulls in one shipment in 1982 - Sebastian, Sapin, Soleil and Sultan. Sebastien was Champion at the Highland Show in 1983 and broke the record selling for 14,000gns. Sapin was Highland Show Champion in 1984 and sold for 10,000gns, Soleil won Royal Show Male Champion in 1985 and Sultan won many championships at shows in Cumberland. More recently would be being the first herd to be Champion and Reserve at the main Carlisle Premier sale where Olympia & Owain took the honours and sold for 30,000gns each in February 2020. *Osiris 60-78-018-020 born 1978 with 681 registered progeny to date

from Canada as a frozen embryo after a fact-finding trip. Jim also bred Goldies Comet sire of the 125,000gns current world record priced female. Jim recalls fondly setting up his first Limousin production sale at Carlisle in 1979 where he insisted that a young David Thomlinson be given his first job of pedigree auctioneering. The sale was a roaring success with cows and calves averaging £4555 to a record top of 10,000gns for Bedell Jane and Goldies Olive. The most pleasing thing, however, is seeing our cattle going on and breeding very well and we are very proud of the fact that Goldies cattle have gone on to breed many a Champion and top priced bull with 6 homebred bulls (Goldies Comet, Fandango, Fantastic, Fortress, Goldfinger and Jackpot) all recently siring Champion bulls.

Q. What’s the best advice you’ve been given? “Get the females right and the

Limousins? The Limousin is the number one beef breed in the UK and is ideally suited to address current market requirements of producing fast growing, efficient, early maturing quality butchers’ carcases whilst still maintaining ease of management, ease of calving and milkiness which means the Limousin is also an ideal suckler cow.

Q. What are the future

opportunities/challenges? As a breed we have to consolidate our position as the UK number one beef breed and promote more avenues that prove that we have the product which makes the butcher money – high killing out %, very little waste and lots of quality beef for sale per carcase. As an industry, we have to encourage the consumer to buy local and promote British beef as having been produced to high welfare and environmental standards and drive home the message that we turn less favoured land into top quality protein whilst maintaining the beauty of the countryside, and sequestering carbon.

50TH ANNIVERSARY

Brockhurst Herd Doug Mash

here follows an extract from the book ‘25 Miles to Torrington – A History of the Mash Farming Family’ by Doug Mash, reproduced by kind permission of the author. “Back to the 1980s and a rule crept in towards the end of that decade, completely transforming the way we farmed at Torrington. Where we had grown cereals, we had always burned the straw that remained once the crop had been harvested. It was a quick and highly efficient way of getting rid of the remnants of the harvest, killing weeds, slugs and other pests, and up until the end of the 1980s most arable farmers followed this practice as a matter of routine. However, by the turn of the decade there was a strong lobby in favour of banning straw-burning, on the grounds that it caused pollution from smoke and had an inherent risk of fires spreading. The government of the day listened and banned stubble-burning, causing a lot of resentment among farmers. Personally, I always liked to burn straw. You did it straight after the harvest and it was a lovely way of killing off weeds. With the wind in the right direction you burned the outer three rows first and quickly it would spread across the field, leaving a very clean black surface. If you did it right, you could almost drill the next crop immediately. So when the ban came into force we had to decide what to do with all the straw. In the past there had been dairy cattle on the Mash farms but this was before my time (or before I

Established 1988 Number of calves registered 2,466

was old enough to work with them) and in any case I had no experience with beef cattle. Through trial and error, I eventually got to grips with the husbandry required of beef cattle and finally the time came when I could put the cows into bull. I sought advice about the best breed of bull for the job and, overwhelmingly, I was told that Limousin cattle made for very easy calving. I followed the advice, which was correct, and I began to form a liking for the Limousin breed. Limousins come from Limoges, in the Massif Central area between central and south-west France. They are hardy creatures, and healthy ones too; muscular but without excessive fat. They only arrived in Britain in 1971 but by the mid-80s they had established themselves as the UK’s premier beef producing animal. I could see the potential in establishing a herd of Limousins and, encouraged by what I saw, I invested in a few heifers from the Tanhill Herd

in Devizes, Wiltshire, and gave myself an education in this well-tempered, well-balanced breed. Following that, I made my way to Carlisle, one of the biggest cattle markets in the UK for the Limousin breed. It was there that I bought Ronick McAinsi, then an 18-month old maiden heifer with an excellent pedigree, for the princely sum of 28,000 guineas. It was an awful lot of money for one cow but sometimes it pays to invest, even if it seems like a big outlay, and I had a feeling that I would be rewarded by McAinsi in time. Unfortunately, my father saw the situation rather differently. He thought I was stark raving mad for paying out so much money for a single animal and made no bones about saying so. However, he didn’t disown me; in the end he had to trust me and he understood that if I got it wrong it would be me with egg on my face. Luckily, my instinct proved correct

Ronick McAinsi pictured with Paul Walker

www.limousin.co.uk

2010 and although father did not live to see it, the Brockhurst Herd became one of the UK’s premier breeders and dealers of Limousin cattle. In 2004, McAinsi won breed champion at the Royal Show and from her came a winning streak of progeny including Brockhurst Batik, breed champion at the Royal Highland Show, who sold for 22,000gns in 2011; Brockhurst Bolshoi, who was interbreed champion at the 2014 Great Yorkshire Show and breed champion at the Royal Highland Show in the same year; Brockhurst Howzat (Bolshoi’s daughter) who was reserve interbreed beef and Limousin champion at the Royal Berkshire Show in 2014; and Brockhurst Heavenly, who was interbreed champion and overall Limousin champion at Great Yorkshire Show in 2016. Towards the end of the 1990s, the closure of Banbury livestock market in Oxfordshire meant that the only specialist Limousin markets were in Carlisle and Stirling - both a long way from Torrington. To compensate, we decided to build our own onfarm sale ring and in April 1997 we held our first breeders’ sale here in Torrington. The sales carried on successfully for some years until we decided to finish them in 2011. Quite a few of the Limousin breeders from the south east had finished what they were doing and the sales were no longer so viable. However, the breeding side of the herd went on unabated and in 2016 Millington Highlight, from a herd near York, sold for an amazing 50,000 guineas.

www.limousin.co.uk

Highlight’s mother was Brockhurst Option and her mother was none other than Ronick McAinsi. One concern of mine regarding the breed is how much the conformation of the animals has changed over the last 30 years. I feel we are putting at risk one of the main attributes of the breed, namely easy calving, and I do hope that trait will return in future in order that the breed can continue its popularity. Turning to the stockmen or stockwomen we have had the pleasure to work with brings me to Dougie McBeath and SaraJane Jessop. Together we have had some wonderful times under their management of Brockhurst Limousins, ably supported by Ben Bellow who has since gone onto pastures new. They have won countless trophies for us up and down the country and they are all stars in their own right. Their handling and preparation of the stock is legendary, and on occasions the victory celebrations have led to many a sore head but Dougie’s power of recovery is unmatched, even by his good friend Jimmy McMillan. Here lies the story of the cap one of them would be wearing, and whoever beat the other in the ring would be entitled to ear the cap until the next time they both met in the ring. “25 Miles to Torrington – A History of the Mash Farming Family” by Doug Mash was published in 2018 by Hawkes Design & Publishing Ltd.

Q. When did you see your first

Limousin cattle? The first Limousins I saw were on TV when they appeared with one of the original importers, Mike Keeble, but the first real ‘lightning bolt’ moment was in Canada in 1973 when I saw two fantastic Limousin heifers whose modern look and quality of fleshing really offered something different in my eyes.

he bred. He threw progeny with outstanding carcase but was not a hard calver. His 1992-born son, Haltcliffe Hercules (progeny to date 1,072), did very well for me and a number of other breeders with his very good combination of milk, growth and easy calving.

Q. What changes have you seen over the years?

Q. What got you into the breed?

I got into Limousins in a major way in 1976 when I moved to the farm at Lumbylaw although I’d already taken delivery of two heifers in the ‘H’ import of 1972 and then a further ten in the 1973 ‘I’ batch. Overall, the Limousin has the best of both worlds – good growth and supreme carcase quality combined with strong maternal qualities. Previously I’d been involved in a number of other original imports such as Charolais, Simmental and Blonde d’Aquitaine.

Broadmeadows Cannon

Haltcliffe Hercules

One of the biggest changes has been the emphasis on the hindquarter which has been almost an obsession rather than a balance with the loin – ask any butcher what pays most and the answer will not be the backend.

What is your abiding memory? Q. What’s the best animal you’ve Q. For me, it was the Limousin World ever seen? Broadmeadows Cannon – not just for how he looked but also how www.limousin.co.uk

Q. What’s the best advice you’ve

been given? Nothing really significant springs to mind which, as I’m sure plenty of people will tell you, is because I think I know all the answers!

Q. What is the future for

Limousins? This depends on how we as a breed embrace modern technology and get the most out of it. Performance recording, genomics and technical research projects can enhance our marketability but we have to recognise it, record it and use it to our advantage. It strikes me that Limousin is one of very few breeds that can be run commercially in good numbers.

Q. What are the future

Q. What’s the best animal you’ve ever bred? This has to be Lumbylaw Upshot (DOB 06.09.1983) purchased in 1985 by the Trygarn Herd of Ernie Gibbons for 6,000gns - which was a lot of money back then! Upshot was out of my 1981 Royal Show Female Champion, the French cow Liberte, who had good maternal traits and was sired by Goldies Reservoir who was very good for carcase.

sold Harvest Olympus to N America for £7,500. We felt like the British Limousin had really arrived.

opportunities/challenges? Given the increasing reduction in labour inputs, the British Limousin will need to maintain its good temperament, calving ease and reputation as an easy-care breed. Those leading the Society will need to recognise some of the issues that the breed is facing and extract the positive opportunities out of it. It is up to all breeders to use the positives of the breed and move forward. Personally, I’m very much looking forward to the 50th celebrations and renewing old acquaintances!

First steps into the pedigree world My first introduction to pedigree breeding was when my father bought me six Hampshire Down ewes and a ram from the South of England when I was twelve. I started to show at the fat lamb classes at local shows but after a few years there was the big step up to The Royal Dublin Show which was on the first Monday in May every year. In 1971, my father - while encouraging me in every way - imported eight Charolais heifers form France and this was my first incentive to breed pedigree cattle. Introduction to Limousins I showed Hamps at Dublin Show for twenty years in a row and when there in 1977 bought my first Limousin heifer. She was Pelletstown Lucille and cost £1,600 from Roger McCarrick. Her first bull went to

Quails Shop

Scotland for £1,800. Four heifers followed on from France in 1979 bought by William Mulligan in a consignment of 80. In 1981, William Mulligan bought some heifers from Curraghgrange (Joe McGrath) and, with some persuasion, I managed to buy two including Curraghgrange Tiara. She was my best ever female purchase breeding me very special females including Lynderg Eithna, the mother of Lynderg Ideal, Perth Champion 1994. In the 1980s, I started to go to France to buy stock bulls. These included Duc, Valide (Champion Balmoral 1986), Ocean (Champion Balmoral 2000) and Ludo (Reserve Champion Male Balmoral 2000 & Male Champion Royal Highland 2000). The trips to France were magical having a lot of fun with French breeders as well as good business. Exchange summer holidays between my son Joe and Claude Deconchat’s sons, Gilles and Stephan, resulted in their improved ability in languages. On one of our most memorable trips was in 1986 when seven of us set out for the Limousin Congress in Limoges. A brilliant event, the highlight was a huge party at Louis

de Neuville’s Chateau. It was a weeklong trip but after three days Jim Mulligan, Leo McEvoy and myself got on a train to Roanne in Charolles as I had heard about the qualities of the Charollais Sheep. After interesting dealing and selection, we managed to buy 16 ewe lambs and a ram. These were tremendous sheep and were the first import of Charollais Sheep into Northern Ireland. Their first batch of lambs sold in Automart for 21,000. French cattle lead to French sheep The following year we went back again and bought 110 lambs including the then to become famous ram Jacques from Christine Laudenaut (H13). Jacques later became Interbreed Sheep Champion

2011 at Balmoral Show with one of his ram lambs selling for 16,000 at Automart the following year. To get the sheep home from France, I chartered two freight planes from George Drake in London as I had been asked to organise transport to get 55 Charolais heifers home to the South of Ireland (the two planes cost £21,500). My son, Joe, when he was 14 went to Le Havre for the cattle and I flew to East Midlands to connect a plane at an airfield further south for the sheep. A frosty morning -6 degrees, I was led out to an old DC10 completely frozen up. The two pilots in their bomber jackets appeared and told me to follow them. We got up into the plane, the pilots pushed back the side window and started to spray de-icer over the front windshield. The plane flew very low obviously not depending on instruments. Another unbelievable experience connected with Limousin cattle. Influential Female Lines Purchases made in 2004 from French breeder Stephane Goursolas. Had a tremendous influence on the Lynderg Herd. These included Ondine, Java, Palmira & Ideune.

Q. Best animal ever seen?

Q. And bred?

The best animal I have bred is no doubt Lynderg Hero – a combination of all my good bloodlines. He was Male Champion twice at Balmoral and also Male Champion and Reserve Overall Champion at The Royal Highland in 2014. He has produced sons at 12000gns, 16000gns & 20000gns for Lynderg James sold at Carlisle.

Major influences The most influential people in my life were my father who was an amazing judge of an animal for his butchery business buying cattle by the lump and knowing exactly their kill-out potential – years of experience. He always encouraged me when I wanted to buy either pedigree pigs, sheep, cattle or whatever. The other person was

William Mulligan who took me everywhere sharing his unbelievable knowledge of pedigree stock which he shared readily – a brother in the renowned Mulligan family including brothers Robbie & Jim. Helping me hugely over the years have been two great stockmen, Alastair Graham (who came to me when he was just 17) and Johnny Aiken who both have great enthusiasm for the Limousin breed Limousin the butcher’s choice Our butchery business ran in connection with our farm and started in 1898 when my grandfather Matthew Alexander Quail opened his shop in Banbridge. He died in his 50s so my father took over the running of the business very young building it up over the next fifty years grazing mostly Hereford bullocks bought from the South of Ireland. As stores, Herefords were much better years ago but the introduction of the continentals changed many things. Eventually starting to help my father in the shop and starting to use Limousins in the late 70s, I soon found them to be the ideal butcher’s beast. Light bone, nice balance of fat and tender meat in the most expensive cuts. They have been the backbone of our business for the past 45 years. The butcher’s shop developed from my grandmother selling meat (as my grandfather was always away dealing) to today’s modern food hall containing butchery, deli and café plus another three butcher’s concessions employing 35 staff.

Limousin beef has been a key to our success when selecting solely Lim-cross heifers from our own farm and local farmers on the hoof. They are slaughtered in a small local abattoir and then 8 rib pistola hind quarters are dry aged in our Himalayan salt chill for 28 days. We have attained 38 Great Taste Awards mostly for our beef including 3 stars for our Limousin sirloin steaks.

BLCS Council I represented Northern Ireland on Council for 18 years – particularly enjoying the early years. My main

128 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

achievement in the first two years was the establishment of the Lim project and LIMO Herd at Greenmount Agricultural College with the late Victor Woods. His enthusiasm for the breed was infectious and many successful Northern Ireland breeders today learned about the Limousin with Victor. I had been a student at the college the same year as Victor, and also Jim Scott. Forward challenges Going forward, pedigree Lims may become more difficult to market mainly because there are so many – we are a victim of our own success! - with veterinary and sale restraints also somewhat restrictive. There is still, however, the challenge to breed something special so I say ‘more power to the stockman’ who can still do that with his traditional tools. The commercial end of the Lim is the exciting bit with more and more people trying to breed that special carcase. The truth is that commercial Limousin cattle are so easy to market. Breed changes When we went to France in the early days a common sight was medium-sized, horned cows with lots of flesh and plenty of milk. This

requirement is still the same but we must remember what the butcher and consumer needs and that is an 18-20 month old heifer around 300340kgs deadweight with fat level 3. To produce this, then the Limousin definitely has still got the edge – more profitable to the butcher because of their fine bone, less waste and exceptionally tender meat. Best advice Be confident in your own ability. I once went on a trip to France passing through Heathrow with William Mulligan and Terry Robinson. William had forgotten his passport so he lit a cigarette, went up to the desk and asked to speak to the boss. We got there and home no bother. What confidence! Final words Follow your dream. In the early days in France, I used to go around visiting herds and wished I could own a herd of cattle like some of them had. After a visit last year to my own farm by two very prominent French breeders, they felt just like I had done, which gave me great satisfaction.

Loosebeare Herd Bill & Marion Quick

Established 1981 Number of calves registered 2,483

Q. What first got you into Limousin cattle?

In 1980, Dad (Bill) was offered ‘something different’ by fellow farmer Henry Lattany in the form of three Hereford cows carrying Limousin embryo calves at the price of £500 per head. The matings were Fanfaron (sire) x Fanchon (dam). These recips subsequently calved in 1981 giving us two bulls (Loosebeare Superstar & Supersire) and one heifer (Loosebeare Sunshine). The bulls were taken up to Carlisle - there being no real market for Limousins in the South West back then – where they sold for 1,850gns and 1,300gns respectively. They were sold into Aberdeenshire and were subsequently bought by Harry Emslie Snr going on to sire a Reserve Champion at Smithfield. We then went to Banbury Market and bought the heifer Hampton Sophia who turned out to be a very astute purchase and a great buy - eventually providing us with 15 super calves.

Q. What’s the best animal you’ve ever bred?

Q. What’s the best animal you’ve ever seen?

Milbrook Gingerspice Royal Ulster Supreme Champion

One of the best has to be William Smith’s Milbrook Gingerspice. We saw her on-farm prior to being shown and she was really something else with size, shape a lovely head and well-balanced Limousin attributes.

Q. What changes have you seen over the years?

As a breed, we have changed in shape and stature over the years – there’s no doubting that. Today’s Limousin is more defined in terms of muscle as well as bigger and leaner on average. We could find that we may need to return more to the traditional Limousin type but time will tell.

Loosebeare Fantastic

This has to be Loosebeare Fantastic who we retained in the herd but also sold a lot of semen from with his top twenty progeny averaging over £18,000. To date, he’s sired over 750 pedigree calves in the BLCS Herdbook. Fantastic is by the noted Wilodge Vantastic and out of dam who goes back to our foundation female Hampton Sophia.

50TH ANNIVERSARY

Q. What is your abiding memory?

This has to be our trips up to the Royal Show in Warwickshire – great cattle, great hospitality with one of the highlights always being the cow and calf class. We miss what was THE Royal – and it was always hot and sunny as I remember!

Q. What’s the best advice you’ve been given?

Never be scared to change. It might not always work out but never be afraid to ask a question and to learn from others. Also, you have to breed what suits your farm – every farming system is different. Often it can be the simplest things you do that reap the most reward.

Q. What is the future for the Limousin breed?

As breeders, the future is in our hands and the future is massive. We have to pay attention to what we breed, particularly in terms of easy calving, and breed a bit more fat and easy-fleshing animals by perhaps losing a bit of muscle. As a breed, we have lost some of the maternal traits like milking ability so we may need to rethink that. It could be that we are entering a two-tiered market: one with the double F94L gene, traditional, easy calving, easy managed; the other the more shapey show calf type requiring a bit of extra work. Everyone is different and each one of us wants to breed something different which is a good thing.

Loosebeare Diver 15,000gns Carlisle October 2009

Q. What are the future opportunities/challenges?

If you go to the United States, grading is by fleshing and marbling which will be a challenge for the UK market. However, in the medium term marbling, tenderness and consistent eating quality will come in over here. As numbers increase, I can’t see the premium for native-bred beef being sustainable - this is already slipping. So why not Premium British Limousin Beef?

ill Ferguson, South East Council Representative, writes: To be asked to write an article about my time in Limousin cattle is a very humbling thing to be asked to do, especially in the run-up to the breed’s 50th Anniversary in 2021. Where does one begin? I saw my first Limousins at the Royal Highland Show in 1980. If one was to be perfectly honest, walking around the cattle sheds, yours truly did not pay much attention to them! However, that was soon going to change. In May 1984, I was to meet with the late Basil Norman Gray and his son, Michael Gray. That association was to see the Fleethill Limousin herd rise to the pinnacle of Limousin breeding at that time. Several factors come into play when running a successful herd. One of the main reasons for this success was the legendary Limousin bull Robin Des Bois (aka Robin Hood) who was bred in France by Monsieur Bourbon. Robin’s mother, according to Monsieur Bourbon was his best cow he had ever bred called Etoile des Neige. Robin had a very chequered life before coming to Fleethill. He was originally imported by the late Dan Haak of Uplands Limousins. It was no secret that Robin Des Bois arrived at Fleethill because at Uplands they could not deal with him. I would have to agree he was a very tricky customer to deal with and you had to be of good humour! His achievements, in my opinion, were second to none, due to the 136 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Fleethill Valaska with Michael Gray

variation of his successes – with 163 progeny to his name. These included Fleethill Valaska, Reserve Male Champion and Reserve MLC Champion at the 1985 Royal Show, and stablemate Fleethill Vast who was the all-conquering performer. Vast's performance figures were culminating in being the heaviest weight recorded Limousin of that time, weighing a colossal 855kg at only 500 days old. These two bulls helped the Fleethill herd achieve the top herd average at Carlisle in October 1985.

Fleethill Sal and calf

Again with Robin des Bois breeding, the 2004 Red Ladies Supreme Champion and 17,000gns top price was the first calved heifer Fleethill Sal when selling to Paul Dawes’ Dinmore Herd. 1986 was undoubtedly a year that will never be repeated. That year, the

Limousin Cattle Society, presented the Maudelyn Trophy for the best eight on-farm tested bulls. Coming out of the vault that year were some exceptional bulls. These being Fleethill Amazon, MLC Champion at South of England Show, gaining the full 100 points, and Fleethill Adam, being runner up with 99/100. Then we played the trump card with Fleethill Ace descending on the Royal Show, winning his class, being Reserve Junior Champion, Beef Index Beef Champion and winner of the MLC class gaining 99/100. Not to be outdone, Fleethill Atlas was then sold to the Milk Marketing Board for a high figure. In that October, Fleethill Aristocrat made his show debut at Carlisle becoming Reserve Senior & Reserve Supreme Champion, narrowly being beaten by the late Johnny Thompson of Hartside Limousins, "I did forgive him... just." In 1987, sixteen bulls were entered for the Maudelyn Trophy. Both groups successfully achieved Champion and Reserve Champion, which was an incredible achievement to us all at Fleethill, especially to have sixteen bulls of that calibre. A continuation of successes came at the Royal Show with Fleethill Big Joe placed third in the MLC class and Fleethill Bruce becoming Reserve Supreme Champion at the Banbury Show & Sale in March. In 1988, eight bulls were placed third in the Maudelyn Trophy and one of Robin’s daughters, Fleethill Vetch, won Supreme Champion at the South of England Show. 1989 saw Robin produce another www.limousin.co.uk

2014 exceptional crop of stock and the herd was runner-up for the Maudelyn Trophy. In that October, Fleethill Diplomat was Supreme Champion at the Banbury Show & Sale and Fleethill Domino was runner up for the best individual on-farm tested bull. I am sure you will all agree that Robin Des Bois has earned his right to be one of the most legendary bulls in the Limousin breed’s history. These were great achievements for the Gray Family. It pleases me greatly to see the third generation currently running the herd. Cattle breeding in my opinion is all about generations including generations of people. Joe Gray Junior is the third generation at Fleethill, and it has been observed we may have three generations of the Goldie Family & Adams of Newhouse of Glamis as well, to name three. As they say in the book, all good things come to an end. But these times for me will never ever be forgotten for all the right reasons. As times change, I find myself running a larger and different herd altogether at Strattons Farms LLP which I have done for the last 23 years. On arrival in 1997, I inherited a herd of mixed breeds of different sizes and shapes. Going on from there to the arrival of Simon Hill (Farm Manager) it was decreed the cattle had to change for the better. My thinking was at that time we would be a great herd and not a good one. Hence my view that good is sometimes, great is always. To start this process, bulls with only top genetics and large frame were www.limousin.co.uk

bought. Several bulls have influenced the Strattons Herd. The one bull that has influenced more than others was Lowgate Adonis, who left milky and fleshy cows. He also brought to the herd several good pedigree bulls to be sold to commercial breeders. Even at the end, he caused quite a stir, by bringing down the gantry at Guildford abattoir when he killed out at a staggering 910KG and an E grade! Other bulls that have made a large contribution to the herd would be Ronick Duty, Maraiscote Exit, Anside Ajax and the hugely successful Maraiscote Geronimo. These bulls

plus others have been influential in taking the herd to where it is today. At every market we attend, we are are incredibly determined to do well. Recently, forty yearling heifers were taken up to Carlisle in March by four different bulls. Our top price of the day was £1,220 and the overall average was £1,040 – very consistent. Selling through the live market at Newark, we topped the cull cows, heifers and young bulls on different occasions.

I would like to think that this proves our breeding policy suits the butcher and the breeding man very well. Being of a competitive nature and a non-showing herd, we would put all our energies and thoughts in trying to win herd competitions. In my opinion, winning a herd competition is exceedingly difficult as everything has to be of an extremely high standard. Just recently the herd achieved its 23rd herd title, winning both the Commercial and Pedigree Herd classes and Working Bull in both categories with Dinmore Levrier. It is particularly important to me that working bulls do well in this. Eight of our past stock bulls, including two homebred, have been judged best working bulls in the South East, in some shape or form. It pleases me greatly to have achieved taken the herd to this remarkably high standard. Despite winning all these titles, the 20th one was tinged with great sadness. The reason being for this, the last time I saw my father alive we had won 14 and I promised him to win 20. No celebration that day. All this success is not all down to me. It is a huge team effort, starting with our owners, Sir Timothy & Lady Susie Sainsbury, Simon Hill, Sarah Hewitt, Nick Waite and Hannah Baldwin. incredibly determined to do well.

Due to the closure of Newark Market, we currently sell at Melton Mowbray Market where in March, the top five bull prices £/ head was achieved - the top being 903kg or £1738. To take everyone up to date, on the 26th August, 16th

September and the 21st October the farm gained top prices p/kg at those three respective sales. I would like to think that this proves our breeding policy suits the butcher and the breeding man very well.

Q. Best animal seen?

Best male Limousin ever seen has to be Sebastien (23-81-053-959) in the early 80s owned by JK Goldie and DJ Haak and bred by EARL Broussaud (551 progeny to date).

Q. Best female Limousin ever

seen? The great Surprise (87-81-006-951) who was bought at the Uplands Sale by DMK Green & Sons where she produced the hugely impressive sire Greensons Gigolo (progeny to date 1,506).

Q. Best advice?

"Dedication is no hardship" and “Set a good example” for any prospective new breeder or stockperson in terms of herdbook integrity and honest record-keeping.

Q. What changes have you

witnessed over the years? The first change would be the use of feeder wagons, straw choppers and livestock machinery.

Although these changes have huge advantages, it has certainly not helped the interaction of people and animals. Few would disagree that our breed needs as much human contact as possible. This is something we all seriously need to think about. Future opportunities and challenges within the breed? Technology on its own is a huge challenge because far too many people rely on it rather than using their brain and their eyes which to my mind is not acceptable. As someone in his sixties, with a lifetime of experience, I need to accept my career is in its latter years. As with cattle, and people, we need new generations. To do this, we need to encourage the younger generation more than ever before. Opportunities at this moment in time are limited and the day may come that we need as a Society to offer apprenticeships to young people. They are our future. I, William Ferguson, am more than happy to help the new generation to succeed. However, it dismays me that hardly any young people get in contact for advice and guidance. It would be true to say myself, Alistair Smith and Alistair Cormack would be more than happy to do so as well. What I plan to do, to substantiate my views, is to present the ‘John Ferguson Memorial Trophy' in memory of my late father. The person who will win this will not necessarily be the best at everything but will have to possess the 3Ds, which are determination, duration and dedication. I am in the process of writing a book called ‘Life In 3D’ which is to tell the story of our family’s life in the cattle world. This tale begins in 1945 and goes through to the present day. May I take this opportunity in wishing you all the very best in your respective careers in this wonderful Limousin breed. Great people, great breed!

Nealford Herd James Neale

The second and third generations of the Neale Family pictured at Okehampton Show in 2015

ack Neale, who recently turned 80, farms with his wife Yvonne, sons James & Chris and their families at Wilkie Down situated just north of Launceston in Cornwall.

Q. What was your first

introduction to Limousin cattle? In the early 1970s we ran a Friesian dairy herd so our first experience of Limousins was using the Milk Marketing Board’s Limousin bull Fanfaron to AI our cows starting off in ‘71-72. We sold the offspring fat at our local mart in Launceston at the time and found that Limousins easily topped the market. In fact, once the buyers saw what the Lim was producing, they said they’d take everything we had direct off-farm - though I always preferred the live market. We then made the decision to buy our first pedigree bull and this came in the shape of Cheston Taskforce. His breeder, Dr Jellicoe, was originally planning to take him to Carlisle but we got to talking and I remember sealing the deal over a glass of whisky – or two – so the bull actually headed south to me from his home in Devon rather than north to Carlisle. We used him over our dairy herd

Established 1988 Number of calves registered to date 1663

and also started some grading up in those early days. The first pedigree females we bought were out of Banbury Market. My son, James, was about to turn 18 and of course at that age he wanted a car but instead I bought him Cockleshell Simone out of Banbury for 2,200gns! Our first pedigree bull purchase was the 1989-born Mereside Earl from RM Hazard & Sons who we used across both dairy and pedigree cows. Limousin’s Maternal Strengths We knew nothing of bloodlines back then but we liked the look of Simone and just bought her – it also has to be said that a lot of the other females forward that day were out of our price range! She was already 8 years old at the time and came not only with a heifer calf at foot but also back in-calf. She’d already had 5 calves at Cockleshell but proceeded to deliver another 10 under our newly established Nealford prefix from the use of bulls in those early days such as Broadmeadows Tombola, Mereside Crackerjack, Goldies Goldrush, Normande Giant, Haltcliffe Flashman & Scorboro Mallard. One of these calves was the tremendous brood cow Nealford Flojo (Broadmeadows Tombola by Tanhill Rumpus x Cockleshell Simone) who won 20 cups in local shows and died in her sleep aged twenty years but not before delivering to us 16 naturally-born calves.

Limousin’s Place in the Market We’ve always been pretty forward thinking trying to produce what our customer wants. We did make a start with Charolais early on but overall preferred the Limousin so agreed to disperse the white continentals. Around 8 years ago, we began with Angus to meet the demands more of the dairy and organic market but still find our Limousins are the bull of choice for most of the suckler men; this is backed up in our own suckler herd with the majority of cows put to the Lim. Growth, conformation, easy of calving – the Limousin has it all. Challenges For us in the South West, it’s the perception of TB that makes selling stock bulls difficult despite the fact that our last case was in 2004. Nevertheless, we sold a Nealford bull at H&H’s Society online sale in June and this bull went to Cockermouth where he passed all his tests and got down to the job of serving cows. At the Carlisle October Sale, we again sold bulls at 6,500gns and 5,000gns – the higher price being for Nealford Poldark, one of the first sons of Loosebeare Master to be sold, while the dam is Nealford Julia, a heifer by the 28,000gns Procters Cavalier.

By Ampertaine Inferno and out of Nealford Goldilocks, he was Reserve Male Champion at Royal Cornwall having also stood InterBreed Champion at the Okehampton and Holsworthy shows earlier in the year. Later that month he sold at Brecon for 4,700gns.

Q. What are the best Limousins

you’ve seen? In my view, this would be Grahams Poncho who we purchased for 20,000gns at the 2004 ILC Elite Sale and who bred great females with power and milk. Of course, Wilodge Vantastic is a stand-out bull who also bred very good females.

Sarkley Fayme with Moonleaze Nellie

Sarkley Weaned Calf Sale

Q. What was your first introduction to Limousins?

I saw my first Limousin cattle in the early 1980s at the Bedells in nearby Bishops Castle. We got into the breed because Limousin-sired cattle were beginning to top all the local calf sales.

Q. How did you get started in the breed?

Our Limousin herd started in 1985 with the purchase of a heifer and calf from the legendary Dennis Lomas at Banbury Market. We had previously used Limousin bulls to AI on commercial dairy-bred sucklers and with only limited acreage ventured into the pedigree breeding world to add value to our output. Subsequent purchases to build the herd up were made with females from the on-farm sale of Dennis Lomas, a French cow called Sorine from the noted Uplands Herd as well as buying in a young heifer from Tommy Holliday’s Holly Herd. These animals have left a legacy of great breeding females within our herd.

Q. What is your driver?

We have always strived to produce what we think is a

142 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Use of AI AI has always been a big part of the breeding programme at Sarkley, and the use of in vogue bulls of the time have over the years helped us get the female lines in the herd to be consistent breeders. Golden Oldies like Broadmeadows Cannon, Ronick Gains and Heros have probably had the biggest impact in the herd leaving great females and males - mixing these three potent bloodlines has proved to be the best recipe and given us many outstanding breeding females putting a great foundation in our herd. The use of Wilodge Vantastic as well as some of his sons, and also Jacot lines, have elevated the breed to another level, with Vantastic having a profound impact on the females in the UK. Production Sales Over the years, we have held several production and/ or calf sales commencing in 1995, joining with other breeders initially, then doing our own sales. The most animals we took to any one sale was 77. Needless to say, many Limousin friends were made at these fixtures. Lasting memories It has been an honour to be asked to judge the Limousin Breed at a number of shows and events.

www.limousin.co.uk

Showing We have enjoyed showing, taking in a lot of the smaller shows in our area, winning several interbreed titles. Highlights include Champion Limousin at the Royal Welsh Show in 2000 with Sarkley Ola, also the pairs with Sarkley Oriana and the group of three with Sarkley Penny. We have been fortunate to win many prizes, and in turn get great prices, with crossbred calves at a number of Welsh Winter Fairs. At the Welsh Winter Fair in 2014, our pedigree heifer Sarkley Ilomena won the Supreme Championship. Sired by the Wilodge Vantastic son, Plumtree Fantastic, she was out of Sarkley Vilomena who is by Gunnerfleet Supremisy, a son of Goldies Oswald. On the dam side, she carried Heros bloodlines and going back to the 1985-born cow Uplands Arriane who was purchased for 2,700gns at the Haak Dispersal Sale.

50TH ANNIVERSARY

Notable highlights include: the Carlisle February Bull Sale 2005; the Royal Ulster 2007; the Royal Highland 2008; Stirling Bull Sale October 2017 in addition to the commercial cattle at Beef Expo 2018. As a family, we were pleased to be one of the host farms for the International Limousin Congress held in the UK in 2004 and were privileged to see so many visitors from overseas and the UK. We have also enjoyed hosting smaller farm tours over the years. An abiding memory would be seeing 60 weaned heifer calves individually tied up in a line at the Earl Dechonchat herd in France, like peas in a pod, wide and classy.

Ellajen is by the French AI sire Ionesco and is out of the Mas Du Clo daughter Sarkley Vollyjen. Other notable sales Back in 2007, the 28,000gns top price was paid for Sarkley Arriana by Smiths of Bloxham. At 24,000gns and selling to Wilodge was Sarkley Bellola, a February 2006 born maiden heifer by the Heros son Cloughhead Lord. Bellola is out of Sarkley Talola a daughter of Sarkley Ola who was the Royal Welsh Show Champion in 2000. The sale saw a total clearance of all 77 animals catalogued and featured progeny from 24 different sires. Sarkley Bellola went on to breed Wilodge Dallaglio who made the top price of 30,000gns at the Society’s October 2009 Sale at Carlisle.

Q. And best bred?

Best animal we have bred over the years would be Sarkley Edajen sold for 30,000gns to Danny Sawrij, a granddaughter of one of the foundation cows Holly Jen. Sarkley Edajen is by Ronick Gains who previously sired the 28,000gns Sarkley Arriana and is out of the Haltcliffe Ullswater daughter Sarkley Adajen. At the same production sale in 2011, Sarkley Ellajen made 17,000gns to the Bassingfield pedigree herd of John Crofts.

Q. Best advice?

It is always better to use a tidy bull off a great cow than a great bull of a just tidy cow.

down to Malcolm Reid who then purchased, at 17,000gns, Sarkley Damarianne, a daughter of Salomon and is out of the Ronick Gains-sired Sarkley Marianne. Marianne is a three-quarter sister to the 17,000gns Sarkley Crystal (sold at Carlisle in January 2008) and is the mother of the 23,000gns bull Sarkley Sebastian.

Q. Biggest changes?

Probably the biggest changes in breeding Limousins over 35+ years would be the different types of animals being bred which is probably the product of a figuredriven breeding regime which may not always be for the best.

Sarkley Sebastian 23,000 gns

Challenges and opportunities Future challenges might be to breed the Limousins back to what they were, smaller and tighter carcases which goes hand in hand with easy calving. An opportunity which has been missed is not to have made Limousin Beef a niche product as other breeds have done. People are still going into the breed for the same reasons we did 35 years ago – Limousin is a true premium product. The future for Limousins is secure as the breed sells itself, dual purpose and with great longevity.

Grahams Herd Robert Graham

Robert Graham writes:

t is hard to believe that I have been involved with Limousin cattle for 41 years; the time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. I was attracted to Limousin cattle because of their size, their conformation and their ability to be both a terminal sire and a suckler cow producer. My first cow, the 1972-born Hautesse (87-72-000-671), was purchased with her heifer calf at foot, Oakley Petite, from Jim Goldie, and soon after I also decided to have a trip to France. From this trip, I came home with eight young heifer calves and two young bulls - one being Sirocco 2381-051-220 who turned out to be a great breeding bull for the Grahams Herd as well as for others with 244 registered progeny in this country on Taurus. I always remember going into this field where a young bull calf turned, looked at me and said: “I’m the one you are looking for.” True, he was. During that time Limousin females were hard to find so we dabbled around with various females. Young bulls were easy to sell as there was a large customer base, since they were easy to calve and had a good conformation. The Society gave us promotional stickers saying: “Rumps are Trumps.” Over the years, we have had many great customers. It would be unfair for me to pick out any individual buyers and friends, many of whom we travelled with to the International Limousin Congresses (ILCs) held in 146 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Established 1979 Number of calves registered 1315

Canada, Italy, Australia, Denmark and Ireland. Some highlights of my Limousin career starting with Sirocco, who turned out to be one of our star performers. So much so that his progeny and himself drew much interest both at home and abroad. The first was a stetson-hatted Bruce Waddell by helicopter from the USA (Bruce incidentally made the keyboards for Hewlett Packard at the time) and Gene McCowan, an oil man from Oklahoma. John Green (Greensons Herd) and myself met them when they landed. When they reached the shed where Sirocco was stalled, they said ‘we are going no further – we are staying right here.’ They were so excited about Sirocco and his progeny that they hardly slept at night. Bruce and Gene decided to buy Sirocco, Grahams Upsy, Grahams Universal and Grahams Ultra. Sirocco, since he was French-bred, was not eligible to be exported from the UK to the USA direct so they said they would speak to senators and government officials to be able to send him to the country. His journey therefore took him from the UK to France where he stood in quarantine for 3 months then to Canada and finally Oklahoma. Sirocco proved to be very successful and bred many sought-after cattle with the highest performance figures in the USA. These guys were professional showmen whose cattle were always brought out to the highest standards. Grahams Upsy went on to win every national championship in the USA as did her

US-born son Upsy Incommand. Turning now to the bull sales held at the old Perth Market, I can remember the very first bull sale in Perth at which Limousin bulls were sold, all four of them! The Limousin bulls were stalled up in the loft at the old mart. As you can imagine, in those days the market was full of Angus and Shorthorn - how times have changed! We come to Grahams Samson (Jersey x Lisette) who - with Brian Wills at his head - sold at Carlisle in 2003 for a then world record price of 55,000gns. This really broke the glass ceiling for other Limousin bulls to follow on at big prices. Samson was bought by Doug Edgar who, so the legend goes, had already got the purchase price back in semen sales before he got back to the pen.

Grahams Samson

Grahams Samson Sale Ring

Samson went on to sire over 600 pedigree calves. The story of Samson’s sire, Jersey, is an unusual one. My buying trips to France were with the co-operative group Celmar and their Pascal Duras who was very much attuned with what I was looking for in terms of stock. I’d originally been offered the bull as a proven stock getter but declined. Jersey then went to Spain but was incapable of getting semen so came back to France where I eventually bought him and took him back to Scotland as a six-year-old bull. I put him into the home paddock with a few cows and watched him serve my French cow Lisette. This was the only female he ever served before hurting his back, and from the resulting mating came what I believe is his only naturallyserved UK offspring – Grahams Samson! Notably, Jersey also bred Ravenelle, the mother of Wilodge Vantastic. Over the years, I have had many varied and different stocks people all with their different strengths and personalities. I feel it is unfair to single out any one person but must mention a few. When Danny Wylie was with us, we held British record

www.limousin.co.uk

2020 prices for not one but two sheep breeds – Rouge de l’Ouest & Bleu de Maine. Danny started as a shepherd and progressed to farm manager. Another was Steve Jones who came up from Wales. He had been stockman to Esmor Evans who at the time held a British record Charolais price. Steve was at the helm when Grahams Arabella won at the Royal Highland Show in 1993 under judge David Edwards (Dyfri) and had the knack of selling bulls to anyone that did not need one! He dragged me to the Royal Welsh the same year when we stood champion for Limousins, Jerseys and Rouge sheep.

Limousin international congress hosted by the British Limousin Cattle Society. At this sale, we sold the three top-priced bulls Grahams Unbeatable (to Rosecroft), Grahams Ultra (to Scordale) & Grahams Poncho (to Nealford) for 35,000gns, 22,000gns & 20,000gns respectively.

Samy

Grahams Unbeatable

However, my proudest achievement was with my bull Samy (23-02-773-556) - with 248 progeny currently to his name – who won the Burke Trophy at the Royal Show three years in a row 2005-2007. The first of these was with Dennis Gall who had come in to steady the ship; Drew Hyslop then led out Samy to two further Burke Trophy wins in 2006 & 2007. The three-times winner can never be equalled as the Royal Show is no more.

2020 Drew also had great success with the Grahams Coffee (Millington Vascular x Nitouche - by Jersey) progeny. We usually say: ‘anyone for a coffee?’. Coffee progeny need no introduction as she is the mother of all the high-priced females (up to 36,000gns) as well as bulls like Grahams Lorenzo and Grahams Humphrey. Lorenzo was Reserve Junior Male Champion at the 2016 National Limousin Show before selling for the 40,000gns top price at the ‘Sale of Champions’ to Wilodge.

great potential and this bodes well for the future. I keep saying, ‘wherever you are going, you need a boss that knows cattle, it’s not always the money that’s buying the cattle it is in your DNA.’ I am always interested to watch the youngsters develop. We have many young people in our dairy business who have progressed to management level and even directors. As far as the breed for the future, we must keep our eye on several key factors: ease of calving, conformation and good food conversion. Going forward with more emphasis on ‘greening’ we must all look to what each of us can do for the planet and must focus on trying to make Limousin the breed of choice for both lowland and upland suckler breeders. The Limousin family has been a big and enjoyable part of my life for the last 41 years and I hope for many more years to come. I tell my family the advice that my own father gave to me - be bold and be brave.

50TH ANNIVERSARY

Samy - Burke Trophy Treble Under judge Jim Ross, Bernard Mairs and Jean Graham receive the Burke Trophy at a very wet 2005 Royal Show

e look back here to the famous Burke Trophy, the Blue Riband event of the then Royal Show and awarded to the winning Interbreed Pair. The Beef Burke Perpetual Challenge Trophy is offered for the best pair of animals of a breed, one male and one female, selected by each breed society in the Beef Cattle Section. Another award, the Dairy Burke Perpetual Challenge Trophy, is offered for the best pair of animals of a breed, two females, selected by each breed society in the Dairy Cattle Section. Following on from his success in 2005 with Ronick Money, Limousin bull Samy teamed up with Kaprico Ultimate and Newstart Upsydaisy in 2006 & 2007 to win three consecutive championships. It was the first time a bull of any breed completed what is a truly outstanding feat.

AND THEN… In 2008, a fourth consecutive Burke Trophy was won by two animals from the same exhibitors, Raymond & Stephen Crawford with Vigot & Victorieus AND FINALLY… In what was to be the final Royal Show in 2009, Millington Davina from Millington Grange Estate secured the Junior Interbreed Championship & Reserve Overall Interbreed Championship under judge Jim Gammie, Aberdeenshire. Presented to him were approximately fifty-five head of quality Limousin cattle from exhibitors ranging from Aberdeenshire to Devon. The Champion exhibitor, John Weatherill of Millington Grange Estate, was naturally delighted and at a packed Limousin prizegiving said: “It was an honour and a dream come true to join the roll call of famous champions at the Royal Show.”

INFO SPOT The Burke Perpetual Challenge Trophy is so named for Sir Roland Burke 1872-1958 who was Chief Agent for the estates of the Duke of Devonshire between 1908 and 1939. He was President of the Royal Agricultural Society of England in 1937 and awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England in 1950

www.limousin.co.uk

There are three Burke trophies: one for Machinery, one for Dairy and one for Beef cattle. The original Burke Trophy was for a pair of animals comprising the Champion plus one of the opposite sex. However, it was not always easy to match a Champion - for example in the case of a yearling heifer -especially when a team with ‘power’ was really required. By the

1990s therefore it was up to each respective Breed judge to select his or her Pair comprising a male and female - without necessarily including the Champion As continental cattle increasingly tended to dominate the Burke Trophy, a special award for the Highest Place Native Pair in the Burke Trophy was instigated in the 2000s

Genus plc Reflections on the British Limousin 5Oth Anniversary

ome of the early imported Limousin bulls into the UK were bought by the then Milk Marketing Board (MMB) and designated as such by the prefix MMB. MMB Fanfaron (87-70-003527) was one such bull - leading the way for many French Limousins to follow - and was adopted by commercial suckler herds run by progressive-thinking farmers and also well-used in dairy herds for terminal crossbreeding. Furthermore, Fanfaron was widely used across pedigree herds having sired well over 2,000 pedigree registered calves.

Ronick Hawk

Lodge Hamlet

Hawk also sired over 4,500 pedigree progeny and was particularly popular within commercial beef herds. Many farmers liked the way he stamped his offspring with great style and conformation.

Lodge Hamlet sired calves

Baby Beef Champion Fanfaron

While there have been many bulls that influenced the beef industry, not just in the Limousin breed, but across all breeds, Ronick Hawk is an eminent example of this. A Broadmeadows Cannon son, he has sold over 800,000 straws in his lifetime and was very successful for providing traits such as calving ease and calf quality when used within the dairy herd.

158 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

Hawk’s female progeny were selected by many as the future replacements for their herd. If he was around today, he would have been a great sire to offer in our female Sexcel® (sexed semen) product to enable breeders to create the desired number of female offspring. Today, we offer a sire named Lodge Hamlet, in our premier collection, who continues to do the excellent work Hawk started. He has Cannon

breeding on the dam side and is sired by the Jacot son Saphir. Over the past 50 years the Limousin breed has heavily influenced the beef industry. Commercial beef herds in the 1970s and 1980s consisted largely of native British breeds. Since the Limousin breed was introduced, they changed the face of the commercial beef herd with many moving to Limousin-based cows. Limousins have been at the forefront of the industry and remain popular in beef herds in the UK, mainly for their ability as maternal and terminal sires supplying lean carcases for the consumer.

UK Sires Services Reflections on 5O years of British Limousin With semen from over 500 Limousin bulls in storage, many of them collected in their bull stud or on-farm, UK Sire Services has a long association with the British Limousin Cattle Society, its breeders, commercial customers and export markets. They also work hand-in-hand with the Society’s online Semenstore. Here, Rob Wills, UK Sire Services

Director, reflects: Establishing UK Sire Services After 10 years of export trading as UK Genetics, with interruptions from Professor Lacey and BSE, we had the opportunity of buying the old Dartington Hall Cattle Breeding Centre stud at Dartington in Devon. Exporting on behalf of the major AI companies in Great Britain & Northern Ireland throughout the 1990s had shown that we have in this country what I refer to as a “Golden Resource” of cattle genetics that is of commercial interest and great benefit in diversifying bloodlines around the world. The first British Limousin bull to have semen exported to Australia after a break

Redpaths Jaguar – the bull that unlocked the door

of many years in 1999 was Redpaths Jaguar, owned and collected by AI Services, Northern Ireland. Hard on the heels of the 2001 Foot and Mouth epidemic, with great support from the industry, we purchased the stud and set up an independent semen custom collection centre based on the principle of helping British breeders protect the genetics they had developed and then, hopefully, adding value by off-farm sales of semen. The export market has always been front and centre of the business and trade is booming. Export Market The message for British Limousin breeders is probably well known. Your genetics are highly respected in countries like Australia and, of course, Ireland but not known to any great extent elsewhere, with the possible exception of niche markets in the United States and some European

countries. The reason for the respect is the great balance of genetics that British breeders have used over 50 years, their 'eye' for the best stock, their attention to what the market demands and the need to find progeny that can finish early from a forage-based diet. Future Opportunities Looking ahead, we need to find genetics, probably through genomic testing, in bulls with the potential to breed short gestation, easily born progeny and homozygous polled that maintain the great attributes already in the fantastic British Limousin gene pool – tops with superb length and width, fast growth with the best feed efficiency. Data is absolutely essential and the move towards genomic testing cannot come fast enough to my mind. Polled genetics are interesting with more cows per stockperson now than ever, it is one extra job

www.limousin.co.uk

Loosebeare Fantastic – collected by UK Sires and marketed overseas, this bull had a great influence on the breed

saved but – more than ever - many countries are looking at animal welfare issues to keep ahead of consumers rightly looking for food provenance from every angle. The biggest problem, of course, is finding the diversity of polled bloodlines that

produce the qualities demanded by Limousin cattle breeders worldwide. Beef from the dairy herd With the pressures that we already see on the UK national suckler herd, attention is drawn back to beef

Final thoughts UK Sire Services are proud of the strong partnership that has developed with the British Limousin Cattle Society and its Members over the years and the service that is rapidly growing year on year with both on stud and ever busier onfarm collections. We send our many congratulations to all within the Society for the massive contribution that you as breeders and Society teams over the years have made, and to those who had the foresight to lead the charge 50 years ago!

ne of the conditions of the first Limousin import, laid down by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food, was to form a Breed Society. A meeting was called by Peter Stewart in April 1970 to which all interested importers were invited after which a committee was set up to look into the organisation of a Breed Society and deal with importation matters. At the time, Peter Stewart was General Manager of the Dartington Hall Cattle Breeding Centre, Dartington, Totnes, Devon and became the first Breed Secretary. The British Limousin Cattle Society was officially incorporated on 17 September 1970 with the first registered office situated at Dartington Hall Cattle Breeding Centre.

Limousin’s

STRONG BEEF CREDENTIALS FEATURE ON STEVEN WILSON, BUTCHER AND LIMOUSIN BREEDER (IMPULSIVE HERD)

hether producing store, finished or pedigree cattle, the ultimate goal is a quality product for the end consumer and as suppliers to said consumer, butchers perhaps have the best say in what is needed to meet that demand, and for many butchers across the country it is Limousin cattle that tick all the boxes. So it’s perhaps no wonder that Steven Wilson, a Cumbrian butcher, invested in cross-bred cattle to produce Limousin-sired store calves before focusing on pedigree breeding, emphasising his confidence in the breed for delivering the ultimate product for the table. Having been born and bred on a farm, Steven started as a trainee butcher at ‘old school butchers’ RJ Harrisons in Wigton while in his late teens. From there, he worked at Black Brow abattoir and wholesale site as well as a haulier before hearing that the current shop in Corby Hill was up for rent. That planted the seed and Steven decided to bite the bullet and strike a deal.

Butchery built on firm Limousin base

“We took over the site for 12 months initially then went ahead and bought it,” explained Steven. “At the time, it was just me and my mother, Sheila, and she didn’t know a lot about butchery. Now we have

164 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

a total of nine staff and have taken a slice of everything – we supply 20 hotels from Coniston to Carlisle and all the pubs this side of the river.” Although the shop is set somewhat out of the way on a residential street in the small town, its reputation has spread far and wide ensuring a steady throughput of customers all year round, with their steak pies not just well known within the area but so renowned that more than 1,000 are produced each week. Despite this, location is still key as all beef, pork and lamb travels less than 20 miles from farm to shop meaning a fantastically low environmental impact. To supply a quality product, both retail and wholesale, requires buying quality stock from the offset and for Steven, that means Limousin-bred cattle. “I have been known to buy cattle sired by other breeds and I have nothing against any other breeds if they meet my requirements, but I do like some Limousin genetics in there somewhere. Most of what we buy is about three-quarter Limousin and often out of Holstein crosses, so they have plenty of width without being too extreme,” said Steven.

Lim consistency and quality

“The thing about the Limousin breed is the quality and consistency of the meat. When you’re supplying

a restaurant with 20 sirloins, it’s that consistency that’s important plus you get that little bit of marbling that adds to the quality. We do require a lot of leaner meat for our stews and steak pies which gives that good killing-out percentage, that’s why Limousin calves hit the top price in the marketplace week after week,” he added. To meet demand, Steven buys four to five beasts per week from either Wigton or Carlisle and prefers to buy heifers as they tend to put a bit more fat on at lesser weights. Getting the right specification is important and Steven looks for those weighing 550kg to 600kg that will grade U4L and kill out at 60% plus. Such was his belief in the Limousin breed that Steven bought 20 acres of what he described as unfarmed scrubland at auction to start his own cross-bred herd before turning his hand to pedigree breeding. Later, he added another eight acres to erect a steading and rents a further 20 acres of grazing.

Establishing the ‘Impulsive’ prefix

Now, he runs 15 pedigree females under the ‘Impulsive’ name as well as some crosses for embryo work, but it all started when he was looking for a bull to run on those initial commercial cows. Along came his first stock bull, Elite Benn, a

FEATURE Nenuphar son who worked in the Priestleys’ Brontemoor Herd before selling to Steven. “I then bought three pedigree cows but still wasn’t thinking of the pedigree job until someone was interested in a bull from one of those Gunnerfleet females, so I started registering on the back of that,” said Steven, explaining the origins of the herd name because it was just that, impulsive.

True Butchers’ beast Impulsive OMG 10,000gns

Impulsive Nial 10,000gns

While admitting he’s just worked away quietly since those early days, it’s certainly done well for him as he’s sold bulls to 10,500gns for Impulsive Niall as well as 10,000gns for Impulsive OMG and 9,000gns for Impulsive Orlando, all at Carlisle. Those three top bulls are all sired by Loosebeare Justin, a son of Aghadolgan Emperor that has influenced the herd to what it is today with many heifers also selling to pedigree breeders. On the female side, the 9200gns Romford Jessica, a Plumtree Fantastic daughter, is one of the main breeders and Steven is now using her for some ET work, while offspring from the 12,000gns Dinmore Lunar are also looking promising.

166 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

“I’m looking to breed a true butchers’ beast – to me, a lot of the larger types don’t do the job from the butchers’ point of view. The commercial man doesn’t want a big, burly bull, the ones I call cow crushers, as they still need that easy calving strain but the good thing with the Limousin is that there’s a type to suit everyone’s system. “I’m happy getting my bulls sold to commercial producers as they are the bulk of the buyers and the key to me is bulls at sensible money that will go on to do a proper job.” The pedigree herd has certainly reaped the rewards for Steven with good prices at sales for such a young herd as well as many championships on the local show circuit but when it comes to supplying the shop, Limousin-bred heifers are the animal of choice. “We try to buy mostly heifers in that 18 to 24-month stage, we certainly don’t want her any younger and like them to have two summers and finished on a total mixed ration rather than on a barley beef diet for 12 months. “As for fat cover, it’s got to be a creamy colour – not white - as creamy fat marbles into the meat a lot better while white fat is hard – and it’s grass that affects fat quality. “We’re looking for beasts to kill out at above 60% but we probably lose 5% by hanging alone. I’d rather do it right throughout and in fact we do everything right for taste and flavour and still manage to beat the local supermarket on price,” pointed out Steven. While he’s turned his hand to producing pedigree and commercial cattle, it’s the butcher’s shop that takes Steven’s main focus and for that, the Limousin breed is key in producing the final product that meets specification for him and his customers.

LESLEY WYLIE

Cows and Carbon emissions

AC Beef Consultant Lesley Wylie discusses below some of the challenges faced by suckler beef production in the UK and their solutions. From a commercial finishing background, Lesley formerly worked within Cattle Procurement for ABP Food Group before joining the senior beef team at Scotland’s Rural College. She will be more familiar to many Limousin breeders throughout the UK, however, as part of the McLarens Limousin Herd from Kirriemuir, Angus, regularly selling and showing throughout Scotland.

ith greater pressure being put on the livestock sector to improve its carbon footprint, it is important to understand where the problem lies and what steps suckler beef producers can take to reduce their footprint. Many of the changes that can be made have the potential to improve the financial performance of those beef enterprises. Suckler beef cow emissions equate to 47% of the total emissions from beef production therefore, anything that can be done to improve the efficiency of cows will have a positive impact on their carbon footprint. Reducing the emissions from the beef herd will help to meet our green targets whilst also responding to the consumer’s demand for food with a lower carbon footprint, whilst also, and perhaps more importantly, improve the producer’s bottom line. Most of the alterations suggested below cannot happen overnight and not all will suit your farm or your business but if progress is to be made with regards to emissions from the beef herd, we do need to take stock of where we are and make a plan that suits our individual businesses. BCMS Cattle Tracing Service (CTS) data shows that the average rearing percentage is 80% meaning that 20% of the cows on farm do not contribute anything to actual beef production but still emit methane and thus contribute to the total emissions from the beef herd. We have two options with these cows – cull them and decrease the breeding herd and obviously reduce emissions but this would have no effect on beef production or financials. However, reducing these unproductive cows by better management (i.e. tackling the fertility problems and the reasons for these calf losses) would increase the number of calves born and reared leading to a reduction of emissions per kg of beef produced and an improvement in financial performance of the herd.

Fertility McLarens Favourite Class Winner at the 2011 National Limousin Show

Herd fertility could be improved by several actions:• Improve cow nutrition (especially post calving to ensure the cows return to cycling quickly) • Monitor cow body condition score to ensure the cows are at their optimum condition for calving to minimise difficult calvings • Health planning / disease control / vaccination programs to reduce abortions and calf mortality • Vet checking cows that had calving difficulties in the previous year and heifers to remove any problem or non- breeders from the herd prior to the bull going in with them, also consider pelvic scoring heifers to ensure capable of calving naturally without too much difficulty

• Bull management – semen testing bulls prior to use, reviewing the overall fitness of the bull (body condition score and locomotion)

Calf Mortality

CTS data also shows that mortality between birth and 3 years of age is 6%, this contributes to higher emission per kg of beef produced as the loss of any animal prior to slaughter means that the overhead burden of that cow is incurred without any accompanying beef production. If on farm mortality was reduced the number of breeding cows required to produce a given volume of beef could be reduced. Focusing on calf mortality, a study in 2018 and 2019 by SAC Vet Tim Geraghty recorded 1,850 cows from 14 herds in the North East of Scotland put to the bull and followed their data through scanning, calving and on to weaning with the following findings:– • Calves conceived - 92.2% (a loss through fertility issues of just under 8%) • Abortion 3% - avoid feeding mouldy silage and ensure water troughs are clean as environmental factors were found to be the most common cause of abortions in this study • Stillborn 2.9% - the biggest cause of this is difficult calving or calvings that have gone on too long. A key consideration here would be how long do you allow the cow to work for before you intervene? Obviously, the matching of bulls with a suitable calving ease EBV for the type of cow you are working with plays a large part as does the cows body condition score at calving time • Neonatal (in first few days of life) 1.6% - poor uptake of colostrum and the effects of a difficult calving were found to be the main causes. Also, hygiene at calving plays a role here too if there is a scour problem the regular cleaning out and disinfecting of pens will make a large difference to the outbreak severity • Older calves up to weaning 1.4% - pneumonia type illness often linking back to inadequate colostrum uptake after birth In both years the weaning percentage was around 82%. The cattle and sheep enterprise profitability booklet produced by QMS each year shows that to breakeven suckler producers need to wean nearly 92 calves per 100 cows. The recommendations from this study were to record all the cows that go to the bull and follow them right through to post calving whilst recording all losses – fertility / abortion / still born / neonatal, the more detail you can record here, the better. Once calving is over, sit down, go through this information and discuss it with the people you work with, your family and your vet to

www.limousin.co.uk

enable you to make a clear plan or what (if anything) needs to be altered before the bulls go out with the cows again.

Reducing age at Calving

Reducing the age at calving from 3 years to 2 years will reduce emissions by around 4% as less resources are required to feed and manage that female to her first calving, approximately 24% lower energy requirements from weaning to calving for 2 year olds than 3 year olds. Reducing the calving age means there are less unproductive females on farm and any heifers that are barren will have a higher cull value as they will be slaughtered under 30 months. Calving at two will increase the number of calves a cow will have in her lifetime and should help to quicken genetic progress within the herd. Not all farms will be suited to this reduced calving age as it will depend on farm type / cattle breeds used / labour / climate / management style. It requires careful management to change to calving at 24 months and will take two years of planning starting with when the potential replacement is born. Key considerations for replacements are:• Heifers born earlier in calving season will be heavier at bulling - a tighter calving period will maximise the number of heifers available to go to the bull. • Look to achieve DLWG of 1.1-1.3kg from birth to weaning to reach puberty earlier. • Aim to reach 65% of mature weight prior to bulling, for example if you are aiming for a 650kg cow the heifer would need to be around 420kg at 15 months. • Bred to a proven easy calving sire with a short gestation length and a low birthweight EBV • Once calved, the heifers need to be fed and managed separately to older cows as they have a lot of pressure on them to continue to grow themselves whilst lactating and starting to cycle again, if their nutrition levels are insufficient their fertility will suffer.

Mature cow size

For many years many different breeds have been guilty of chasing high growth - leading to larger mature weights. However, one problem with this is that growth tends to lead to increased calving difficulties, another is that finishers are reporting that some of these cattle are harder to get the desired level of finish on as they just keep growing and struggle to lay down adequate fat levels. From an emissions perspective reducing cow size by 10% would in turn reduce emissions due to the lower feed and fertiliser requirements the cow would have.

ANNUAL JOURNAL 2021 | 171

TECHNICAL CORNER

Many producers argue that a larger cow gives you a higher cull value but if she is costing you more every year to keep than a smaller cow it is a false economy. Looking at a 200-day winter, a 600kg cow requires 75MJ ME per day which is 2,000 MJ ME over the winter less than a 750kg cow that requires 88MJ ME per day. Financially this could result in a potential saving of £19,000 for a herd of 100 cows based on 760kg less silage per cow. Producers that have reduced their average cow size have increased herd numbers as their acreage can handle more smaller cows meaning that the output of kg beef produced from their acreage will not have reduced and may have even increased. In a commercial situation the quickest way to reduce cow size is to change breeds or introduce a new breed to cross with, however, changes can be made within an existing herd through selecting heifer replacements from moderate sized cows that have a high weaning percentage (calf weaning weight / cow weight at weaning). For UK Limousin, a new breeding solution is also on the brink of becoming available in the form of breeding values relating to feed efficiency. The breed is part of the ongoing Beef Feed Efficiency Programme that is seeking to provide breeding values for Feed Intake and Net Feed Efficiency. On the very near horizon are breeding values that will identify the genetics that will produce the same or even higher levels of output at lower feed cost.

mind the retailer / processor specification is leaning towards the 380-400kg deadweight and this is where the majority of cattle in the UK are sold to). Selling the cattle younger also allows for more turnover of cattle in a year in specialist finishing businesses which can help spread the fixed costs. Younger cattle are more efficient in terms of feed conversion and so to put on kilos it costs less in a younger animal than it would in a larger animal that requires more feed for maintenance before it puts on any extra kilos. As breeders the key considerations in this lower slaughtering age is the need for a healthy calf with sufficient growth potential whilst also able to lay down a covering of fat to meet the target specifications of the buyer.

Conclusion

As breeders, meeting Government and consumer targets whilst increasing profitability is a win-win situation especially with the threat of reduced levels of farm support from Westminster. Lesley Wylie Beef Consultant, SAC Consulting lesley.wylie@sac.co.uk

Finishing cattle

One of the biggest reductions in emissions can come from a reduction in the age of slaughter to nearer the 18-month mark. This can reduce emissions by over 10%. This is dependent on the feeds used to finish but essentially the reduction in emissions is simply because once the animal is dead it is no longer producing emissions so the less time it is here the less emissions it produces. From a business point of the view 18 months would still allow for a reasonable sized carcase (bearing in

The trends show a steady gain in carcase weight coupled with a reduction in the age it takes to get there. There has been little fluctuation in fat depth over the years.

176 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

The commitment to genetic improvement of the breed by breeders and the Society has brought change over the decades. Through the breed’s performance recording data, these gains can be measured and some are outlined below. The genetic merit of our best breeding stock is exceptional. The steady advancement with new traits that have complete relevance to a changing market place will ensure the genetics sourced today and tomorrow continue to outstrip those of the past.

High genetic merit for these traits doesn’t just mean bigger cattle taking longer to finish with carcases too big for market demand. The breeding values are standardised to a carcase weight of 350kg and a finishing age of 600 days. Animals with good genetic merit for Age to Slaughter have the potential to get to a carcase weight of 350kg quicker. Animals with good genetic merit for Carcase Weight have the potential for heavier carcases at 600 days of age. Used in combination, these breeding values have the power to shift the bottom line of any business.

The Retail Yield index combines the VIA measures of Sirloin, Fillet, Topside, Rump, Silverside and Knuckle. The trend shows a year-on-year increase in genetic merit across the breed for carcase yield.

A steady gain in 400 Day Growth over the years has not been met with rapid decline in Calving Ease.

High genetic merit for 400 Day Growth means cattle have the ability to get to weight faster

Investing in breeding stock on a rising plane of improvement helps guarantee performance better than the generation before. This applies at breed and herd level, and this type of genetic trend information is available for both. It presents good opportunity to all types of beef producer to make change within their businesses, and the onward development of stronger data collection and analysis using all available techniques remains a focus for the British Limousin Society and the breeders of pedigree Limousin cattle.

BRITISH LIMOUSIN LEADING THE INDUSTRY WITH BREED IMPROVEMENT INCENTIVES

A FURTHER £200K INVESTED IN HERD HEALTH

etween 2005 & 2013 the Society led the pedigree beef industry by investing in a Herd Health Initiative. The cash-back scheme, based on £4+VAT for each calf registered in the previous year, financially supported breeders who were making the long-term investment into herd health assurance through being a member of a CHeCS-approved health scheme. This included a whole herd test for Johne’s disease.

178 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

£1MILLION RETURNED TO MEMBERS

n 2019, £63,057 was returned to members in pedigree refunds through the Society’s Breed Improvement initiative. This incentive has been effective over many years and remains an integral part in increasing the quality of Limousin cattle in the herdbook. In short, members may deregister a calf before it reaches 450 days of age and receive a major portion of the registration fee refunded - which is then credited back to their accounts. Up to the end of 2019, a tremendous £1,016,592 has been returned to Members. And the scheme is still continuing.

Having been originally established in 2005 as a four-year project and limited to a ceiling of £100,000, the BLCS Herd Health Initiative subsequently grew to support members’ herds to the tune of over £200,000 over the intervening nine-year period up to 2013. Over the years, uptake in health scheme membership increased markedly with momentum further driven by the health rules around Johne’s and BVD which were introduced at Premier BLCS Collective Sales from 1st May 2011. From its position as the UK’s most numerical breed, the BLCS was very much the driver behind the uptake in health scheme membership and providing herd health information at the point of sale. Breeders and commercial customers welcome the fact that they are able to invest with confidence in Limousin stock from herds with a demonstrable health history.

Commercially Smart Choices for Commercially Smart Farmers

imousin cattle deliver to the bottom line in all typical commercial herd environments. With high performing genetics and availability of genetic selection tools, the Limousin breed can serve the breeding & production plans of the commercial sector well. Taking advantage of all available opportunities is key in facing the trading environment of today and the type of future challenge referred to by Lesley Wylie in her feature ‘Cows and Carbon Emissions’, reported earlier in this Journal. In all types of breeding and finishing enterprise, the opportunities include use of industry-wide information that is gathered from the breed and use of the tools that analyse it. This section will discuss key aspects of this that are available to the sector now and how they can make a difference.

Opportunity 1: Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) & Genomic EBVs

A ‘Marmite topic’ in all breeds but the evidence is clear and long-established; whatever the population or species, more rapid genetic gain is made if EBVs are used correctly. Over five decades, the British Limousin Cattle Society has invested in the latest data techniques – and has been the first beef breed to do so – so that its EBVs are as robust as they possibly can be. In addition to performance records provided from on-farm measurement, Limousin EBVs now draw in data from a wider variety of sources than any other beef breed in the UK: • • •

17000+ ‘genotypes’ – the code that identifies the genetic characteristics of each animal Carcase measures from the six main abattoir companies in the UK Commercial performance records from wider national data sets

In her earlier article, Lesley Wylie spoke of the challenges facing beef production in relation to characteristics such as female fertility, calf mortality, finishing age and carcase weight. Limousin is dominant in the UK suckler herd and in the prime cattle market (sources: AHDB/DEFRA) and the breed’s

180 | BRITISH LIMOUSIN CATTLE SOCIETY

consistent performance in these key performance areas is the reason why. Finding the very best genetics to suit farm and market circumstances is the opportunity available to all. See our separate feature ‘Using Limousin Breeding Values’ to help with this.

Opportunity 2: Myostatin Information

Over the last few years, DNA testing animals for Myostatin has become commonplace and indeed, all new stock sires are required to be tested, as are all young bulls sold at Premier Society sales. Such has been the success of it, many breeders are routinely testing beyond these requirements focusing on replacement females and also wider young bulls for private sale. Myostatin is a single gene found in most of our UK beef breeds and crosses. Different variants of it can influence characteristics such as muscling and calving ease. Pedigree and commercial producers are increasingly using it with much success in supporting their selection decisions and increasing their returns from output and efficiency. The recognised advantages of using Myostatin information in breeding programmes includes: • Increased meat yield – by up to 19% • Increased feed efficiency • Higher meat quality – increased tenderness, reduced fat content, higher polyunsaturated fats. Using the correct variants of Myostatin in the correct manner is important in achieving this and the separate feature ‘Myostatin Information for Pedigree and Commercial Herds’ provides further information.

Opportunity 3: Further Gene Information from DNA – Polled and Colour Genes

Pedigree Limousin cattle are also being routinely genotyped to establish their genetics for Polled and Colour (red or black). Of value to pedigree buyers, polled information in particular is sought by sections of the commercial market as their systems move away from de-horning practices. The easy rules around these DNA outcomes are as follows:

Polled

• Homozygous Polled - animal will be polled itself and all calves will be polled (since it only has polled genes to pass on and they are dominant over horned genes). • Heterozygous Polled – animal will be polled itself and will produce some polled and some horned calves (assuming cows are not all homozygous polled). • Homozygous Horned – animal will be horned itself and will pass only horned genes to its calves.

www.limousin.co.uk

Homozygous Red – animal will be red and will only pass on red genes. Homozygous Black - animals will be black and will pass on black genes. All calves will be black, since the black colour gene is dominant. Heterozygous Black – animal will be black and will pass on either a red or black gene. Heterozygous Red - animals will be red and will pass on a red gene or a colour gene known as the ‘wild type’ that is non-colour determinate. (The coat colour of calves inheriting the wild type gene will be governed by the gene they inherit from the other parent. It is rare, but it is also possible for an animal to be homozygous for the wild type gene, in which case they will be reddish/brown to brownish/black).

The availability of polled and black genetics for those that seek them out is good. Animals and breeders can be found using the Society’s Search function on www. taurusdata.co.uk/beef/search/advanced and select ‘Single Gene Info’. The colour and polled genetic test results are also stated for buyers’ use in Society sale catalogues.

Opportunity 4: Herd Health Information

All Limousin breeders are encouraged to participate in a CHeCS recognised health scheme. This can provide financial gain through better health planning and management, as well as adding value to the enterprises of commercial customers who purchase breeding stock from them. Participation in a CHeCS scheme is mandatory for vendors at all Limousin Society Premier sales, providing buyers with the best possible information about the herds from which they are buying. As a minimum, at a Premier Society sale, animals will come from herds that: • Are testing annually for Johne’s disease and are not in risk category 5 • Are BVD accredited (or animal tested virus free) • All sale animals are also BVD vaccinated prior to sale with an approved vaccine. ...in accordance with the CHeCS guidelines. The health information relating to all vendors’ herds is presented in the sale catalogues at Society Premier sales to assist purchasers in their decisions.

Opportunity 5:

#pickthebest This has been one of the breed’s trending hasthtags in recent times, and it headlines the opportunity available to all users of Limousins to choose their breeding stock from the the pool of highest performing genetics ever.

Individual breeders too, can present this information for their own herds and demonstrate to their customers that they are making better rates of genetic gain than their competitors within the breed. Buying from a herd that is focused on performance and making good rates of genetic gain offers real opportunity to lift output and cost saving efficiencies beyond the generation that has gone before. Whilst beef price is enjoying a spell of stability, the wider pressures within the sector have not abated and will challenge all beef businesses in the times to come. The measures above support the types of challenge identified by Lesley Wylie in her earlier article and the British Limousin Cattle Society and its members – through the vision of its Ten Year Breed Improvement Plan - are committed to onward investment that will see Limousin genetics providing the needed solutions. In various stages of development – and for short to medium term deployment - are the integration of feed efficiency EBVs, introduction of stronger data collection and evaluation techniques and heightened use of DNA technologies.

Using Limousin Breeding Values

ll Limousin Breeding Values (EBVs and GEBVs) indicate how much of an animal’s performance is due to genetics and how much is due to its environment.

EBVs are calculated from pedigree information, performance records collected on-farm and records collected from wider sources such as BCMS and abattoir data. GEBVs also use the records above, but additionally incorporate information from each animal’s DNA. The incorporation of large, independent sets of commercial Limousin records and the use of DNA in calculations means Limousin breeding values are more accurate and more robust than ever before.

Knowing an animal’s genetic merit is ESSENTIAL: it is the only thing it can pass on to its progeny. Appearance is influenced by many things…

TECHNICAL CORNER

All Limousin Breeding Values are expressed in the same unit as the recorded trait (eg kgs for 400 Day Weight, mm for Muscle Depth etc). They are relative to the Limousin Breed Average, which is updated and published annually. Limousin Breeding Values are typically presented in a bar chart. ü

The central vertical line always represents the current Breed Average for each trait

Bars lying to the right of this line indicate the EBV/Index is above Breed Average (ie superior) – and the further to the right it is, the higher above Breed Average it is.

In the same manner, bars lying to the left of the line indicate the EBV/Index is below Breed Average (inferior).

Breeding values that are GEBVs (ie those that have used information from the animal’s DNA in their calculation) are referred to as GEBVs on the graph. EBVs and GEBVs can be used in exactly the same way.

In this example, the EBVs and GEBVs indicate the animal has favourable genetics for the majority of the characteristics. It is predicted to be easy calving, with good growth, speed to finishing and carcase conformation. Its fat depth EBV indicates it is likely to be fatter than average (more negative EBVs indicate leanness). Its daughters are predicted to be easy calving (Maternal Calving Ease) with good milking ability (200 day Milk). A higher Scrotal Size EBV is associated with early maturity of daughters, and a higher Docility EBVs indicates greater calmness during handling.

The Accuracy %. This is an indicator of the quality and quantity of records used in the EBV calculation. They range from 0% (nothing known) to 99% (very well-recorded) and indicate the confidence that can be placed on the breeding value. Breeding values with low accuracy will change over time, as more animal and family records are added to the EBV evaluation.

The Limousin Breed Benchmark indicates the distribution of EBVs across the breed for each trait. The benchmark can be used to identify an animal’s specific ranking within the breed for a specific trait. The benchmark can be found under ‘Breed Improvement’ on the Limousin website www.limousin.co.uk

Breeding Indexes - the Beef Value and the Retail Value. These combine individual EBVs and GEBVs in to a single figure that indicates overall breeding merit for that range of traits. Each trait within an index is weighted according to its relative economic value. Indexes can be used to select for a number of traits all at the same time. More positive values indicate overall higher genetic merit for the traits involved: Beef Value -> Growth, Muscle Depth, Fat Depth, Birthweight, Gestation Length and Calving Ease EBVs Retail Value -> Fillet, Striploin, Rump, Topside, Silverside and Knuckle.

TECHNICAL CORNER

Which EBVs? • Select animals using EBVs that are relevant to your farm, cow type and end market • Consider the traits that will make you most money, but • Don’t forget to check all important traits such as Calving Ease. • To establish just how much influence a bull will pass on to his progeny it is important to halve the EBV value, since the other half of a calf’s genes comes from the cow. For example, a bull with a 400-Day Growth EBV of +62 is estimated to have the genetic potential to be 62kg heavier at 400 days of age compared to a bull with an EBV of 0. Based on this, his calves would be expected to be 31kg heavier at that age when compared to calves by a bull with an EBV of 0, since they only inherit half of their growth genes from their sire (the other half coming from their dam).

Myostatin Information for Pedigree and Commercial Herds Myostatin - double muscling - in Limousin cattle (and many other beef breeds) is not a new phenomenon and DNA tests for Myostatin are now easily available. Underlining their commitment to on-going breed improvement and their service to buyers, the British Limousin Cattle Society and Limousin breeders now publish all Myostatin test results. • For breeders, knowing the Myostatin status of animals within herds will be important for the choices and options it offers herd management and breeding programmes. • For purchasers, and across the industry, it will similarly allow choices to be made based on knowledge and understanding when buying Limousin cattle. This information leaflet explains what Myostatin is and how the information can be used in herds.

TECHNICAL CORNER

What is Myostatin? The Myostatin gene is found in many mammals and influences the production of a protein that controls muscle development. Natural mutations of the gene produce proteins that are less effective at controlling muscle development, which results in increased muscle mass. There are three main mutations that occur within all Limousin populations (as well as other breeds); they are carried in pairs and differ in their effects as follows:

F94L Animals with two copies of this gene (ie F94L/F94L) exhibit an increase in muscling (by up to 19%) with no associated increase in calving difficulty, lowered fertility or longevity and by far the majority of animals in the breed carry this gene. Heterozygous animals (those with one copy of the gene) also exhibit these characteristics but not to the same degree. As a result of the high frequency of this gene in the Limousin population, most animals have double copies and exhibit its characteristics; increased muscle mass without increased calving difficulties, lowered fertility or longevity. It is therefore partly responsible for the breed as it is today and one of the reasons behind its commercial success.

NT821 This variant is carried by a lower proportion of animals in the breed. Animals with two copies of the gene (ie nt821/nt821) will exhibit characteristics of the condition: larger loin depths, reduced fat depths and large, rounded rump and thighs. However, unlike F94L, animals with two copies may also have slightly heavier birth weights bringing with it the potential for more difficult calvings, If animals are ‘heterozygous’ with F94L (ie F94L/nt821) they will still exhibit quality carcase characteristics but are less likely to be affected by more difficult calvings.

Q204X As with nt821, Q204X is carried by a small proportion of animals in the breed. Animals with two copies of the gene (ie Q204X/Q204X) will exhibit characteristics of larger loin depth, reduced fat cover and greater meat tenderness. However, they may also have the potential to exhibit larger birth weight and, if females, slightly reduced milking ability. Animals that are ‘heterozygous’ with F94L (ie F94L/Q204X) will still exhibit quality carcase characteristics but are less likely to be affected by larger birth weights and reduced milking ability. Two further variants of Myostatin exist within the Limousin population but are relatively uncommon in their occurrence. Known as NT419 and E291X, their effects in homozygous and heterozygous states are similar to NT821 and Q204X respectively.

TECHNICAL CORNER

What are the Benefits of Myostatin? The recognised benefits of Myostatin are: • Increased Meat Yield – by up to 19%. • More feed efficient • Higher meat quality – increased tenderness, reduced fat content, higher polyunsaturated fats On a population level, because of the high frequency of F94L, there are no significant disadvantages to the presence of the Myostatin mutations. Some difficulties may present themselves at individual animal and herd level, however. If animals carrying nt821 and Q204X are

www.limousin.co.uk

mated to animals that are carrying the same mutations, it does increase the potential to increase birth weight and reduce milk. Whilst this can be managed – and very successfully so – it is lack of knowledge of an animals’ status that is a barrier to this and therefore the main disadvantage currently. Knowing what the genotypes of breeding stock are will help pedigree and commercial producers select animals for the best possible outcome and will allow all herds to set and achieve breeding goals that capture the beneficial characteristics they bestow.

TECHNICAL CORNER

How Should Myostatin Information be Used when Buying A Bull? An important factor to remember is that carcase traits (muscling, fat cover etc), calving traits and milk traits in cattle are controlled by MANY genes. Myostatin is only one of them and, as such, it is not an absolute predictor of an animal’s performance. A Myostatin genotype is a further bit of information that may help your decision, but it should be used in conjunction with wider information such as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs), which bring together information of actual performance from the animal itself, its herdmates and its relatives to predict genetic merit, and your own judgment on type and pedigree. The testing and publication of Myostatin genotypes is carried out at by breeders on animals of their choice. All results are published on the Limousin database (‘www. taurusdata.co.uk) at Society sales and in other relevant Society literature.

buyers’ knowledge of the potential performance of the stock they are selecting. Coupled with the wealth of wider performance information available, it demonstrates the commitment by the Society and its members to providing the market with animals that will produce fast growing, quality carcases that are easily born with heifer replacements that make quality suckler cows – now and in the future.

The aim of providing this information to industry is to further enhance all Limousin breeders’ and
