Ped lm heifer

adne

Buying a ped lm heifer from a lad i know, coming 2 yr old.
She good solid heifer, bit low set to ground, bred from dancer and ondit.

What kind of value would this animal be worth, im only at commercial suckling at minute, am i mad considering a pedigree?

Ahem ......

All depends on quality. A good average heifer, maybe €2,300.
PM me the pedigree name and I'll give a better guess.

Shur look, she could be worth nearly anything from commercial money to several thousand.
You know yourself, without seeing her and I suppose her accompanying paperwork it's hard to state a figure.
Are you mad considering a Pb Lim, you ask. Not at all. Go for it. Try and buy the best heifer you can, she could be the cornerstone of your herd. Personally I like a heifer to look feminine, I like length and I'd like to think she'd produce enough milk to rear her calf well. So I've scratched the surface for you anyway. Best of luck with it.

I don't think you're mad at all, plenty of farmers keep a few pedigree cows as a sideline/hobby and sell the Bulls and heifers for breeding or bring them to shows. Go for it I'd say.
I've no idea what this heifer is worth, there's real good breeding in her anyway. I'm surprised you say she's low set, those Bulls bring plenty of size from what I've seen.
How much is he asking??:pac:

Would you have a spot for a bull over the winter. Have a few purebreds ourselves and they can turn a bit of profit if your lucky with them.try and get a look at her mother for milk etc. and see this years calf.

Bought one ped limo heifer about ten years back, now over half the herd are bred from her line. :pac: If you get an average sort of one we just don't register them, think you can also deregister them now?

They also cross very well with blues.

Very hard to give a price with just details instead of a photo or video! She's quite old to not be incalf though, we normally try to have them calving at 26-30 months.

Thanks folks, some good info there.
I think ill chance her for the craic and as ye say she can be a decent commercial breeder at worst.
Whats involved in registering offspring? Is it worth it?

like a lot of the folks here have a few pedigree cows, its a nice interest anyway, havent really bred any super stock yet but i think this years calves are the best ones so far. you will have to join lim society, there is a fee for that, then there is a fee for moving that heifer to your ped herd so to speak from the breeders herd, there is a yearly fee and there is a fee every time your register a calf, and depending on the ai bull you use there might be a semen royalty fee, i think the fees are a bit over the top but what can you do
once you set up your own herd prefix with limo society, let says for example you call it the honeysuckle herd, when you are registering a calf online you just fill in the pedigree name box, so for example if you fill in the name as leonardo then you will get a cert for honeysuckle leonardo, you only need to fill in leonardo, they will add the honeysuckle part them selves as they know that your individual herd name..hope that makes sense, didnt make a great job of explaining

Thanks. Some good info there.
Is there a link to a site that details the costs and how to evaluate if its actually worth the effort of joining a society.

You could check out the irish limousin cattle society website or give them a ring. I think you have to join the society if you want to register pedigree cattle.
Anytime i go along to a pedigree cattle society meeting for a nosey there's always plenty of complaints from breeders about how much it costs to register animals and run the societies.

It must be expensive as there is no costs published on the website. Its pretty crap actually
