The longevity of Limousin cows is considerable. The morphology of female cows reaches its full development between 6 and 8 years of age. This asset enables females to produce high-quality calves up to an advanced age of
18 years, and after rearing several calves, they provide remarkable added value in quality categories.

Limousins have a relaxed and calm temperament making them easy and safe to work with.
The Limousin is very well adapted to diverse climates and conditions. Originating from France, the Limousin cattle evolved into a breed of unusual sturdiness, health, and adaptability due to the harsh pastoral and climatic conditions. In Africa, the breed is now farmed in feedlots and free-range conditions across Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique. At Leadwood, we successfully breed with them in the Tuli-Block and Sandveld area.
The breed produces naturally lean beef, low in cholesterol and saturated fats, making it the ideal choice for the modern health-conscious consumer and export markets.
You know what you buy! The Leadwood Limousin herd is registered with the Limousin Cattle Breeders Society of Southern Africa, which inspects each animal to ensure compliance with the breed standard.
