British Limousin is the largest numerical beef breed in the United Kingdom accounting for 32% of the 1.8 million cattle registered with the British Cattle Movement Service. Each year approximately 600,000 Limousin sired cattle are registered representing an annual industry value of around £500 million. . It is further estimated that some 75% of all beef cattle in the UK carry a percentage of Limousin genetics.In the fifteen years since BCMS (British Cattle Movement Service) was established in 1996, close on 9 million calves, sired by Limousin bulls, have been registered. LMC figures also reveal the dominance of the breed in Northern Ireland.First imported into the United Kingdom from France in 1971, the Limousin breed has built its reputation on being ‘The Carcase Breed’, a breed able to produce quality beef with a low proportion of bone and fat. Its influence on British Beef production has been borne through its advantages in calving ease, growth, milk, fertility, feed efficiency, killing-out percentage and meat yield.
