About Limousin
Limousin cattle originate from the Limousin region of south-central France, where they evolved in a rugged granite landscape. They are known for producing lean, well-muscled carcasses with a high yield of usable meat. Limousin genetics are frequently used in crossbreeding to improve carcass merit and muscling in commercial herds.
