Limousin cows and bulls … extra-ordinary quality



Limousin cattle are range animals from France. They are one-coloured in light to dark red. The animals are considered to be robust and undemanding. For this reason, this breed is ideal for extensive grassland exploitation.
The cattle live on large meadows left to nature. The rough pastures with their high-vitamin fodder ensure a healthy stock of cattle, and the slow growth guarantees an excellent, low-fat, slightly marbled meat.

The Limousin breed comes from the less fertile upland areas in the south west of France.

Today, the race is represented in sixty countries in the world. For more than twenty-five years they have been present in Germany as well.


In competitions for the best meat qualities in France, the USA and Australia, the meat has won first prizes several times in so-called blind tests (without the breed being mentioned). These official tests have confirmed the special tastiness and tenderness of the meat. Outside Germany, Limousin meat is offered with a special quality seal, such as the "Label Rouge" in France.

Less than five per cent of cattle raisers breed thoroughbred Limousin cattle. Meat of this quality is a rarity. It is hardly available from normal traders.



The carcases of Limousin cattle are outstandingly good in young animals as well as elder animals. By means of exact examinations, proof could be furnished that the utilisation relative to the living weight ex cowshed is 63 per cent in young bull fattening. Relative to the living weight, 70 per cent is achieved in fasting condition. In this respect, the Limousin cattle is considered to be one of the best.

The significant characteristic features of the Limousin cattle are:
  • Undemanding combined with high vitality.
  • Low tendency to steatosis.
  • Very good fine-muscular meat quality.
  • Fine bones with distinctly valuable partial pieces.
  • Easy weaning.
  • High carcase dressing percentage.
In this sensitive and demanding market, P&M has created a second pillar beyond national boundaries. On account of the ideal weather conditions and the large grassland areas in the German Eifel region, we are able to fall back on the corresponding quality and quantities of Limousin bulls and heifers.

We supply cut and "as-grown" products. Meat with outstandingly high quality at fair prices!

P&M - a guarantor for freshness, quality and price wishes you a lot of success with this quality product.
