An advertisement in the newspaper described the positive qualities of the Limousin bulls that a breeder had for sale. The buyer could choose between red or black. The bulls were qualified for a desirable genetics program. They were double polled, meaning that their offspring should not have horns.

 Also mentioned was the fact that the bulls had a “calm disposition”. This may seem like a strange fact to mention in a livestock ad, but cattlemen know that Limousins have a reputation for being somewhat ornery and mean. This is not a desirable characteristic if you are going to be working with cattle.

I think I’ve been to church with some Limousins.
