Calving ease - Relative to growth, the Limousin breed remains a calving ease leader.

Feed efficiency - Limousin's advantages in feed conversion come as a result of lower levels of feed consumption coupled with comparable or higher levels of lean, dressed carcass weight and retail yield.

Red meat yield - Limousin is recognized as the industry leader when it comes to yielding the most salable red meat.  With the growing popularity of  case ready beef, many industry experts predict more emphasis and larger premiums will be placed on red meat yield in the near future.

Tenderness - Research has shown that while Limousin may lack the high levels of marbling found in other breeds, the tenderness and palatability of Limousin beef remains high.  This is due to finer muscle fibers found in Limousin influence beef as compared to other breeds.
