The Elite Dam award was revamped in 2010 with input from the board, the Breed Improvement Committee and our genetic consultant Sean McGrath. It was identified that the traits of importance in terms of high producing cows were birth weight, weaning weight, milk production and docility. The ideal female is described as one that calves every year without assistance, weans a big calf thanks to her high milk production and possesses a temperament that makes her pleasant to work with. This is a first attempt at rewarding the Limousin cows that fit that profile under modern measurements such as EPD’s. We expect the program to evolve in the future with your feedback and input. However the starting criteria of the new revamped Elite Dam program are as follow:
|
- All Fullblood, Purebred, or percentage registered Limousin females on Whole Herd Enrolment are eligible.
|
- Must have raised at least 4 calves in the last 6 consecutive years. If the female raised 6 calves in 6 years, she receives the "Super Elite" status.
|
- Must have above breed average EPD for Weaning Weight, Milk and Docility.
|
- Must have below breed average EPD for Birth Weight.
