Canadian Elite Limousin Programs
The Canadian Elite Limousin Programs aim at rewarding and recognizing herds that submit performance data and are supporters of the Whole Herd Enrollment.
The Elite Herd Program acknowledges Canadian herds that submit performance information for their herd.
The Elite Limousin Dam Program identifies the very top Limousin cows in the Canadian population.
The Elite Dam Award was revamped in 2010 with input from the board, the Breed Improvement Committee and 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.
UPDATE: At their December 2012 meeting, the CLA board of directors decided to make the Elite Status a permanent designation. Once a Limousin cow is designed Elite or Super Elite, that recognition stays with her forever. At their December 2014 meeting, the CLA Board of Directors added that only registered progeny will be taken for account.
- All Fullblood, purebred, or percentage registered Limousin females on Whole Herd Enrolment, the year of Elite designation, are eligible.
- Must have raised at least 4 registered calves in the last 6 consecutive years. If the female raised 6 registered calves in 6 years, she receives Super Elite status.
- Must have above breed average EPD for weaning weight, milk and docility.
- Must have below breed average EPD for birth weight.
