Advantages of Crossbreeding with Limousin & Lim-Flex ®

Crossbreeding is not a new thing . Progressive cattlemen have utilized it for decades to make production systems more efficient and to utilize breed complementarity in order to meet market and consumer demands . Crossbreeding allows producers to make a product that is in demand and do it at less cost , regardless of environment .
The crossbred female is 30 % more productive over her lifetime . The hybrid vigor advantages of the crossbred female make her more profitable to an operation over her straight-bred counterpart . The greatest benefits of a crossbreeding program are through direct , maternal heterosis with a crossbred cow – increased fertility , better calf survivability , heavier weaning weights , and greater cow longevity .
Do the math in your own herd . It ’ s proven that with the crossbred cow you get an advantage of :
+ 38 % cow longevity ;
+ 25 % lifetime productivity ; + 8 % calf crop weaned ; + 5 % weaning performance ; + 4 % in calf yearling performance .
Crossbreeding is proven science . Cattlemen and cattlewomen can produce quality and have more profitability when utilizing it in a planned breeding system . Using Limousin and Lim-Flex ® genetics in your crossbreeding system is smart and easy . Don ’ t ranch without it . I
