The main business of Milire Estate is livestock breeding and agriculture, all on ecological basis. There is a breeding herd of Limousins. Currently there are 400 Limousin cows, 350 pieces of young cattle, 200 Limousin bullocks and 20 Limousin bulls.

History

In 2007 we decided to seriously ugrade and improve our herd (up until then we merely had crossbreeds). Before reaching a decision as to what race to breed, there were five conditions the future race had to meet.

1. A superior quality meat
2. Easy births (parturitions)
3. Good legwork without problems
4. A good character
5. Good fertility

We came up with the French Limousin pedigree cattle from the Limoges area, as they have been selected for many years for their fertility, births, milk, character and overall health. Just like in Limoges we have here in Milire pastures high up on the hills and low temperatures during winter. It turned out to be a costly way of gathering a herd, but well worth it in our experience.

In 2008 we bought 90 heifers in calf.

We picked them together with 5 specialists from Portugal, Holland and the Czech Republic and we were of course assisted by the owners of the French pedigree. One by one the animals were picked from the French Limousin breeders. At the same time and in the same way we selected 4 bulls.

In 2010 we bought another 6 bulls from France. This time we bought them at an auction of 50 bulls that had been selected by the French Pedigree. The animals had already been screened during four months on, among other things, growth, health, character and body structure. Special attention was paid that they did not have any double musculature.

Since 2011 we bought more good bulls, born in France, and since 2012 we started selling our own bred pedigree bulls.

In 2014, we bought stables with a capacity of 400 animals, which we continuously reconstruct and also we keep improving the breeding of our cattle mechanization.

All the cows on our farm, situated at 700 metres altitude, are always outdoors. Even in winter when snow falls. Naturally they are then fed additional hay.

We are very happy with our herd. 98% of the births have been without problems and up until now the animals have 100% healthy legs and feet. And they have very good characters!

It's easy to get started creating your website. Knowing some of the basics will help.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that allows you to create and manage webpages easily by separating the creation of your content from the mechanics required to present it on the web.

In this site, the content is stored in a database. The look and feel are created by a template. Joomla! brings together the template and your content to create web pages.

Logging in

To login to your site use the user name and password that were created as part of the installation process. Once logged-in you will be able to create and edit articles and modify some settings.

Creating an article

Once you are logged-in, a new menu will be visible. To create a new article, click on the "Submit Article" link on that menu.

The new article interface gives you a lot of options, but all you need to do is add a title and put something in the content area. To make it easy to find, set the state to published.

Template, site settings, and modules

The look and feel of your site is controlled by a template. You can change the site name, background colour, highlights colour and more by editing the template settings. Click the "Template Settings" in the user menu.

The boxes around the main content of the site are called modules. You can modify modules on the current page by moving your cursor to the module and clicking the edit link. Always be sure to save and close any module you edit.

You can change some site settings such as the site name and description by clicking on the "Site Settings" link.

More advanced options for templates, site settings, modules, and more are available in the site administrator.

Site and Administrator

Your site actually has two separate sites. The site (also called the front end) is what visitors to your site will see. The administrator (also called the back end) is only used by people managing your site. You can access the administrator by clicking the "Site Administrator" link on the "User Menu" menu (visible once you login) or by adding /administrator to the end of your domain name. The same user name and password are used for both sites.
