Limousin in Sweden


 

 

 

 

 

 





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.
