10 Magnificent Limousin Bulls

Kevin and Deb Scouller started Heatherdale Limousins in 2006 from cows purchased from the Home Station stud in Wangaratta.

These cattle had over 30 yearsofbreeding so it was easy for Heatherdale Limousinsto continue to breed quality,quiet Limousincattle.

Kevin concentrates on using the right mix of softer doing bulls with good fat coverage.

They arepredominately polled cattle maintainingthe extra muscle definition from the more traditional Limousin shape, thatsetsLimousins apart, andoffering higher dressing percentage.

Kevin says that this has always shown through in not only bulls and steers but the females as well.

Averygoodrecentexample of this in November was aniceolder cow that was culleddue to being empty who returned adressed weight of 432kg,resultingina returnofjust under$3,500

This is what is possiblewith the Limousin breed.

“Wehave no calving troubleastheyare slightly finer boned than other similar Europeanbreeds. They muscle up so fast, six weeks after birth the same calves are almost unrecognisable to the calf that hits the ground.” Kevin said.

This year’sbull crop again shows just what can be achieved, as the bullsare presented and run on a commercial basis, naturally quiet with no grain feeding.
