I can't imagine a more wonderful life than to be able to be close to nature and try to figure out how to get along with it.
Unfortunately, the only semen I can get is black limousin and I just do not want to go there - - and, I am not a good enough AI tech to be able to afford $125 + per straw for red limousin semen :(
You will have to drop by omak's bunkhouse

and we can chat about it more, since I too enjoy learning from others' expertise <g>
Your DH will probably want to know that we don't have many (14 head), and of those, only three are pure ... when I couldn't get any more red semen, I started cross breeding for hybrid vigor. Right now, I have a 1/2 Simmental/1/2 Limousin bull ... and Hereford semen for back up.
