state with a current beef cow

recent decreases in the beef

2018. The current Florida beef
cow herd of 886,000 head is
the smallest since 1964. North
Dakota moved into the number
nine spot in 2018 with a beef

ALDU Nelson goes to show that his sire, ALDU Fireball, continues to leave an impact
upon our herd. This purebred Tyra son speaks heavily to what we strive for here at
Duplaga Limousin; easy calving, growthy, powerful cattle that deliver on all economically
relevant traits! We look forward to his progeny hitting the ground, stop by and see for
yourself why we are so excited about the future of this new herd sire. Emily is quickly becoming one our favorites and has a very bright future in front of
her. Superior structure, while still retaining feminine qualities, that build the foundation
for a long and successful career. We look forward to seeing what this promising
young female does in the years to come.
Special thanks to all who have taken interest and invested in our genetics,
your confidence in our program is much appreciated.
