FOREWORD
For those of you who know me will know I have been involved with Limousins for most of my life and with Beef Shorthorns for the best part of 10 years.
Rougemont Pedigree Livestock was created in 2021 with the purchase of a Beef Shorthorn and a Limousin. I am not a purist, I just love good cattle and over the past couple of years I have purchased the cattle that I have liked and since they have been in livery under the day-to-day management of others.
At the Royal Welsh Show this year, I was told that I needed to find alternative accommodation for my herd and unfortunately, it has proved impossible for me to rehouse thirty head of cattle. So, I now find myself in the unfortunate position of having to drastically reduce numbers.
The cattle forward in this catalogue are cattle which I bought in confidence and which I had hoped to keep and create a herd nucleus with. This sale is a tremendous opportunity for other breeders to now acquire these great bloodlines and breed well with them. Most of the 2023/2024 show team are forward including cattle who have been breed and interbreed champions including our Burke Trophy winning Champion.
I have not had a health membership of my own but all cattle forward have been health tested over July and August this year and the details are in their footnotes.
I would like to extend the biggest ‘thank you’ to Melanie and Michael Alford for stepping into the breach and taking on the management of the cattle during the past few weeks and preparing them for sale. And my grateful thanks to James Little and the staff at Harrison & Hetherington for organising the sale at such short notice.
Bid up! Bid well! And I wish you every success with your purchases and I look forward to following their progress.
Mary

HOW TO USE GENETIC INFORMATION IN THIS CATALOGUE
Sale catalogues contain specific information relating to the genetics of each animal. This is a short explanatory note to assist when selection decisions are being made.

Got by AI Natural Calf
Myostatin: F94L/Nt821 Gen. Colour: Hom. Red Polled: Hom. Horned
‘Got by AI’ indicates whether the calf was a result of an AI service. If blank, the dam was naturally served. ‘Natural calf’ indicates the calf was born to its biological dam. ‘ET calf’ indicates the calf was born as a result of embryo transplant.
2. Myostatin
“Not tested” indicates that no Myostatin test is currently available for the animal. Full details on the Myostatin variants and their effects on performance can be found on the Limousin Society website www.limousin.co.uk, search in ‘performance programmes’. In summary:
The Variants:
F94L
Animals with two copies of this gene (ie F94L/F94L) exhibit an increase in muscling (by up to 19%) with no associated increased 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.
NT821
Q204X
Animals with two copies of the gene (ie nt821/nt821) will exhibit characteristics of 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.
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 reduc ed 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 in the population but are relatively uncommon in their occurrence. Known as nt419 and E291X, their effects are similar to nt821 and Q204X respectively.
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.
3. Genetic Colour
Colour and polled/horned genes typically come in pairs called alleles. One is inherited from the sire and one from the dam. Where an animal’s alleles are the same, it is said to be ‘Homozygous’ (Hom.) Where the alleles are different (because there is more than one variant of the gene, the animal is said to be ‘Heterozygous’ (Het.)
“Hom. Red” – animals will be red and will pass on red genes
“Hom. Black” – animals will be black and will pass on black genes. All calves will be black, since black colour genes are dominant.
“Het. Black” – animals will be black and will pass on either a red or black gene.
“Het. 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).
4. Genetics for Horned/Polled Status
A bull that is “Hom. Polled” - will be polled himself and all calves will be polled (since he only has polled genes to pass on and they are dominant).
A bull that is “Het. Polled” – will be polled himself and will produce some polled and some horned calves (assuming the cows are all horned).
A bull that is “Hom. Horned” – will be horned himself and will pass only horned genes to his calves.

EBVs & GEBVs are expressed in the same unit as the recorded trait (eg kgs for 400 Day Weight, mm for Muscle Depth etc) are relative to the Breed Average.
a) In sale catalogues, Breed Average for each trait is represented by the vertical line t hat is central on the bar chart...
✓ Bars that lie to the right of that line indicate EBVs/GEBVs that are above average. The further to the right they lie, the higher above Breed Average they are.
✓ Equally, bars that lie to the left of the line indicate EBVs/GEBVs that are below Breed Average. The further to the left they are, the further below Breed Average they are.
b) Accuracy Values (Acc%) are expressed as a % and indicate the quantity and quality of records used to produce each EBV, GEBV or Index. The closer they are to 100%, the more accurate the EBV. Highly accurate values are less likely to change over time.
c) The numeric EBV & GEBV values on the charts can be used to further refine comparison with the breed using the Breed Benchmark which is updated annually.
For more information on EBVs and GEBVs, go to www.limousin.co.uk and search under ‘Breed Improvement’ in the main menu or scan the QR code opposite.
EBV, GEBV and pedigree information on all Limousin cattle are just a few internet clicks away…
Step 1: Go to www.taurusdata.co.uk
Step 2: In the ‘All Breeds Quick Search’ box type the name or ear number of the animal you are interested in or click on the ‘Breeder Search’ button to look at all animals belonging to or bred by a particular breeder.
The site will then tell you the animal’s owner/breeder details, its breeding values, its pedigree and list its progeny with full links to all of their information.
6. Adjusted Weights
These are the ‘raw’ weights recorded for the animal throughout its early growing stages. They are adjusted for age, but are not adjusted for any other factor such as management, nutrition, dam age, differences between farms etc.
For further information or if you have any query, please let us know - telephone 02476 696500, e-mail info@limousin.co.uk or speak to Society staff and Council members attending the sale.
