Texas Bleeders

"Texas Bleeders" refers to cattle, particularly the Limousin breed, known for their tendency to bleed or bruise easily when injured. This trait is due to a hereditary blood disorder that affects clotting, causing them to bleed more profusely from minor cuts. While it can pose health concerns, breeders manage this trait by selective breeding to reduce its impact while maintaining desirable cattle characteristics. The term highlights a specific genetic tendency that requires careful handling and monitoring in livestock management.
