Welcome to the Raven Limousin & Lim-Flex Website
"Muscle Packed, Wrapped in Black"
The Raven team breed premium cattle that offer beef producers superior performance in all aspects of the beef supply chain.
Innovative genetic selection combined with rigorous data recording and superior stock management practices ensures Raven Limousin bulls are capable of delivering heavier daily weight gains, increased muscle development and higher yields in a very marketable black hided package. As well as offering pure-breds, Raven also provides strategic breeding options through their Lim-Flex program for producers wanting the benefits of Limousin and enhanced hybrid vigour without changing target markets.
Our participation in the Limousin Assurance Program gives buyers of Raven Limousin bulls even greater confidence that the animal they receive will perform to expectations.

Ravens in-augural on-property Field Day (Feb 7th, 2012) was well attended by 50-60 visitors, who appreciated the herds type, quality and docility. There was great interest in the Lim-Flex50 (Limousin X Angus) bulls from beef producers looking to add some hybrid vigor and performance to their established commercial Angus herds. Many of the bulls available on the day sold for an average of $4,400.
If you missed the Field Day please contact the Raven Team if you wish to make an appointment to view the herd.
Raven has 3 quality Lim-Flex50 bulls available. Please contact the team for a catalogue or visit the FOR SALES page to view these bulls.
Raven has recently imported Limousin embryos from the United States of America, with an aim to increase sale numbers to 30-40 bulls by 2014. 18 of these U.S. embryos have already been implanted in December 2011, with the remainder being implanted in 2012. Be sure to watch out for the unique progeny to Australia.
The Raven herd is now calving progeny from their new stud sire Mandayen Raven Time E1492 (top priced bull at the 2011 Mandayen Limousin Sale, purchased for $13,000) Many of the progeny are from heifers with pleasing birth weights in the low 30kg range. Please go to Genetics to read more about the Raven Time sire.
