Leading Stock Sires for Calving Traits
Gestation Length EBV (days): Indicates genetic potential for gestation length. Look for high negative values (ie less
days) for animals with potential for shorter gestation length
Birth Weight EBV (kg): indicates genetic potential for birth weight. Look for negative values (ie less kgs) for animals
with potential for lower birth weight.
Calving Ease EBV (%): indicates the genetic potential for ease with which a bull’s progeny will be born. Look for
positive values (ie more unassisted calvings) for animals with potential to be easier calving.
The league table below details the current Top 10 Limousin stock bulls for Gestation Length EBV according to
the following criteria:
• All bulls also have EBVs above breed average for the Calving Ease EBV, the Birth Weight EBV and the Beef Value.
• All bulls have sired a registered calf within the last two years (since 01/03/2021)
Animals are listed by their Gestation Length breeding value in descending order (shortest to longest). Accuracy
values are shown as % alongside each breeding value.
