  1. That would probably be their beef cattle, developed many years ago by French cattle ranchers.

    As the breed developed in France, cattlemen in North America were looking to Europe to improve their native beef cattle here in the United States. In the late 1800s, English breeds such as the Hereford, Shorthorn and Angus were imported and crossed on native cattle, most of them of Spanish background. In the early 1900s Charolais were imported into Cuba and Mexico and were first introduced into the United States in the early 1930s.

    The acceptance of Charolais, combined with the use of crossbreeding as a tool to increase beef production, led to the investigation of many other European breeds, including Limousin, by North American cattlemen. One of the first exposures in this country concerning Limousin cattle was in the early 1960s in an issue of the Western Livestock Journal when a Canadian wrote of his impressions after returning from a trip to France. As more cattlemen traveled to Europe, they came back talking about an impressive "new" beef breed they had seen...Limousin.cattle sperm is highly prized, there are Association in the UK who specialize in these cattle.
