Breeds of Livestock-Limousin Cattle. The History of Limousin The history of Limousin cattle may very well be as old as the European continent itself. Cattle found in cave drawings estimated to be 20,000 years old in the Lascaux Cave near Montignac, France, have a striking resemblance to today's Limousin. These golden-red cattle are native to the south central part of France in the regions of Limousin and Marche.
Let's begin by defining what a breed is. The late Hilton Briggs, the quintessential authority on breeds and author of the book, âModern Breeds of Livestock,â defined a breed as: âa group of animals that, as a result of breeding and selection, have certain distinguishable characteristics.â.ontinental breeds. Meanwhile, the first Charolais cattle in the U.S. didn't come directly from its mother country of France, but via Mexico in the 1930s. These cattle were then crossed with other breeds in the U.S. The same is true of the first Charolais to be imported from France through Canada in 1966.
