Suspected embryo transfer calves born
on or after January 1, 2019 who exclude
to their donor dams may be registered as
natural calves to their registered recipient
dam (whether Limousin, Lim-Flex, or
foreign registered animal) without dam
verification, pending the sire verification of
the cleanup bull comes back as Qualified.
Recipient dams must be denoted in a birth
queue or on the registration application.
If DNA is on file for the recipient dam, full
parent verification will be run. Calves out of
unregistered recipient dams (Foundation
Cows) will require genetic defect testing in
order to be entered into the herdbook.

The commercial marketing committee continues
to utilize the expanded mailing editions of
the LIMOUSIN TODAY tabloid to reach more
commercial customers. Added to the budget this
year is the advertising package obtained with
Superior Livestock to promote both Limousin
and Lim-Flex genetics to the commercial
industry as well throughout the United States.
The visions committee will meet again this
summer to monitor and update the Suggested
Mating Targets released last fall and track
progress on our EPD improvement as well. LT
