The Brahmousin breed blends the best of Limousin and Brahman characteristics. Purebred Brahmousin are classified as five-eights (5/8) Limousin
and three-eights (3/8) Brahman. This mix has been found to be the most widely accepted
and most useful for the majority of the United States. However, the American Brahmousin
Council offers a flexible program that allows animals that are not purebred to be
recorded as long as they are at least one-quarter (1/4) Limousin and one-quarter (1/4)
Brahman. It is important to note, that in order to be recorded as a Brahmousin, the
animal must be sired by a registered Limousin bull, registered Brahman bull or a registered
Brahmousin bull.
