The Whitelums pedigree Limousin cattle herd was formed in November 1992 with the purchase of 2 heifers from the Red Ladies sale in Carlisle.

On that winter's day, we took responsibility for the welfare of Roughley Fragrance, a Tanhill Brilliant daughter and College Gemma by Talent.

We retained our heifers and in 1994 privately purchased Broadmeadows Idee. At the Broadmeadows dispersal in 1995 we purchased Lauren and Lisa and have remained a closed herd since until 2003 when we bought Cwm Tirion at the Red Ladies and 2004 when we bought Bailea Uhoo and Bailea Uonyx at the November Bailea sale at Carlisle. To date we have increased in numbers so that this year our herd currently runs to 52 head. We have used AI and over the years have used a number of quality Limousin bulls in the quest for conformation, size and temperament. More recently we have used our own bull Whitelums Richie and also some French A.I sires. See our home grown bulls on the bulls page.

Over the years our cows have produced some notable calves, most being sold to commercial producers. Whitelums Louis was sold to the Roughley herd at the 1997 winter sale at Carlisle where he came second in his class to the overall champion. Louis has so far produced around 40 pedigree registered Limousin calves and is currently 8th in the Calving Value trait leaders. Progeny have sold to 6,800 gns May 2002 Carlisle.
