Limousin cattle originate from the Limousin and Marche regions of central France. They have become one of the world's leading beef breeds, valued for their exceptional lean meat yield, high dressing percentage (62-65%), and feed efficiency.

Limousin produce remarkably lean beef with minimal fat coverage, making them ideal for health-conscious consumers and premium lean beef markets. Their muscle development is exceptional — bulls carry heavy, well-placed musculature without excessive size.

As a terminal sire breed, Limousin bulls produce calves with high growth rates and superior carcass yields. They are particularly effective when crossed with dairy breeds for beef production.
