ELMIA 2011 - all animals
The first Limousin cattle arrived to Sweden from France 1970 and consisted
34 heifers and 6 bulls.
During the years have more animals been imported,
which most of them
having their origin from
French Limousin. Some polled
bulls from Canada have
also been imported. Today in Sweden,
we have an
extensive health program for our
animals. Animals that are tested and free
from
Leucosis, BVD and Paratubeculosis
(Jones disease), is a must for all
trade with livestock in
Sweden.
Approximately 1 300
active
Limousin cows are registered in the
Swedish
Limousin Herd-Book, which consists of
Full French, Swedish (Full French
crossed with
another race in Sweden) and Canadian (Polled) bloodlines.
Most demanded
in Sweden are Full French and Polled pedigree for breeding.
Limousin is still only the fourth largest breed in Sweden. This is in
spite of the
fact that in all tests
of carcass qualities comparisons between the
different
beef breeds in Sweden, the results show
that Limousin is the best of
beef breed.
Limousin also has the largest growth per kilo of feed.
The
Limousins in Sweden are a well-muscled, mixed type. In crossbreeding
with
diary breeds,
there is no other beef
breed that can come close to the carcass
qualities that Limousin produce
in this
combination. This is confirmed data from
the Abattoir (slaughterhouse)
Associations in Sweden. Today,
the Swedish Limousin
Association sells their
members´ Limousin beef directly to the stores, which gives
our members 3
- 4 SEK.
more in payment per kilo beef. This is the only way for us to
get Limousin beef
marked ”Limousin beef” in the stores. This is very estimated by
the consumers.
