You Can Have Your And Eat It , Too

With rising feed costs and an increased focus on sustainability within the beef industry , feed efficiency is more than a buzzword , it ’ s rapidly becoming a battle cry in an industry challenged to do more , with less .
By incorporating today ’ s Limousin and Lim-Flex genetics into your crossbreeding program , you can capitalize on the breed ’ s inherent feed efficiency advantage while still banking the premiums paid for high quality , high yielding carcasses .
That ’ s two ways to profit , instead of one !

“ Feed accounts for somewhere between two-thirds and three-fourths of the input costs of the feeding phase . So , feed intake and the utilization of those feed resources really gets at the heart of profitability in our business .”
Dr . Bob Weaber , Director of Eastern Kansas Research and Extension Centers
“ Using a Continental breed such as Limousin or Lim-Flex on a British-based cow herd gives you the best of both worlds – the maximum combination of a balance between gain , feed efficiency and carcass quality .”
Dr . Kee Jim , CEO of Feedlot Health Management Services
