Limousin Foundation announces
DENVER, Col., - The North
American Limousin Foundation
released its 1962 Limousin Sire
Summary and has identified five
bulls leading the breed in
economically important traits.
Of the four traits measured
birth weight, weaning weight,
yearling weight and daughters’
first calf weaning weight on bull
is above average in all. Owned by
Sweetwater Plantation of
Thomson, Ga., 2 Hanchon AV
Hagadal, known as Hanchon,
produces calves light at birth yet
above average in milk production.
The bull leading the breed in
birth weight is Erode, owned by
Ben and Mark Turbyfill of Madill,
Okla. Performance data on the bull
shows his calves average more
than five pounds lighter than the
average of all the bulls in the
amunary. Birth weight is im
pftant because it reflects calving
ease —heavier calves at birth tend
to result in more calving dif
ficulties.
The trait leader for adjusted 20&-
day weight this year, as well as
last, isDrtota Ounce 77 owned by
Harold Rinehart of Pompadour
Hills Ranch, Highmore, S.D. This
bull’s data show bis calves weigh
nearly 25 pounds heavier at
weaning than the other bulls in the
summary. Hie adjusted 205-day
weight is a measure of growth
from birth to weaning and of the'
dam’s milking ability.
Showing the- depth of his per
formance program, Rinehart and
James Simmons of Ocala, Fla. own
adjusted 365-day weight trait
leader, Boventure Farfelu. This
bull has lead the yearling weight
category since 1960, producing
calves that weigh 40 pounds more
than the sire summary average.
Adjusted 365-day weight, or
yearling weight, is the noteable
economically important trait as it
is more indicative of growth
potential through market age than
weights taken earlier in life. In
addition, it is associated with gain
efficience and percent retail yield.

Derochie Ranches of Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. This trait

calves, as first calf heifers,
weighing nearly 10 pounds heavier
than average.
