Blackie, was on the job for a number of years and in November 2006 was sold for breeding at 9½ years young.  We have retained semen.  He was very active & sound and infused good muscle patterns, milk, udders and scrotal size.  Blackie was easy to handle.  A real slow plodder.  Limousin cattle are prolific breeders and long-lived.
