Graffoe Limousin Stud in the Upper South East of South Australia is based on the experience and advantage of 18 years running a commercial purebred Limousin herd and using Limousin bulls as terminal sires over British-breed cows to see how they perform.
The females, both pure and crossbred, are most impressive, producing heavy MSA grading vealers for local butchers and Limousin-loving Hardwicks for their top Melbourne restaurant trade. We feel we can highly recommend using Limousin bulls as terminal sires, and females as commercial breeders with complete confidence. Our Limousin/Angus and Angus/Limousin crossbred females are particularly sought after as breeders.
Foundation females with superior genetics have been obtained from some of the best herds in Australia. Daughters of such great cows as White Lakes Exotic, White Lakes Goldie and Premier Cauliflower were acquired. We now have a fast—growing herd of over 50 registered cows and heifers.
Crossbreeding with Limousin has the advantage of increasing vealer weights through hybrid vigour but also improves dressing percentage (58-63%) and eating quality by refining texture.
We invite you to visit our other pages to judge the quality of our seedstock and commercial cattle. Apart from the AI Sires page, all photographs are of our own stock.
