The North American Limousin Foundation (NALF) has compiled the statistics for its recently completed fiscal year and released its list of top 20 active breeders. Together, they registered more than 7,000 Limousin and Lim-Flex® calves. Of the top twenty Limousin breeders, five are based in Colorado, including the top three breeders in the United States. Running Creek Ranch of Elizabeth, Colorado is rated as the top Limousin ranch in the US. Top of the top twenty are Oklahoma ranches- P Bar S Ranch of Sand Springs and Express Ranches of Yukon.
"These top 20 Limousin breeders represent a strong contingent of performance minded breeders across the country," said Bob Hough, Ph.D., Executive Vice President for NALF. "I commend the loyalty and commitment of these and all of our members for their dedication to make Limousin the perfect cross for British based cowherds. Combined, they are the lifeblood and reason for our increased breed success."
Research conducted by NALF and Colorado State University (CSU) indicates trustworthy pedigrees, performance data and genetic predictions add about $400 to the value of Limousin and Lim-Flex bulls sold at auction.
