About Brahmousin Cattle and Beef - Rankin Farms

Purebred Brahmousin Cattle

The best of two worlds in one superior beef breeds, brought together at Rankin's Farms:

Brahman		Limousin
A truly American Breed developed in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s from bos indicus cattle from India, Brahman cattle are noted for their ability to withstand heat and humidity, adaptability to different environment, easy calving, longevity resistance to insects and disease - which means fewer vet visits - and efficiency in converting all types of pasture to lean, healthy beef.		A centuries-old beef breed from the limousin region of France, the small-boned, large cattle have long been known as "the butcher's breed" in their home country, first topping carcass competition in 1857. Imported to the United States in the early 1970s, Limousin cattle are noted for their ability to withstand cold weather, rapid weight gain, and exceptional carcass grade and cutout.

Bulls, Heifers, and Semen are available - Excellent for Commercial Herds

Purebred Brahmousin are classified as five-eighths Limousin and three-eighths Brahman. This blend has been found to be the most widely accepted and most useful for the majority of the United States. It is important to note, that in order to be recorded as a purebred Brahmousin, the animal must be sired by a registered purebred or full blood Limousin bull, registered Brahman bull or a registered purebred Brahmousin bull.

Brahmousin Calf Brahmousin cattle offer beef producers a wide array of genetic material to customize to their environment. By shifting the percentage of Limousin and Brahman blood, those cattlemen who need just a little Limousin can get it. Those who need just a little Brahman can get it too. The purebred Brahmousin fits the best for most parts of the nation.
