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
