Balsam Ranch

Balsam Ranch, Limousin cattle breeders in Miles City, MT, serves eastern Montana near Billings. Shane Balsam has over 15 years of experience raising hardy Limousin cattle under American Limousin Association guidelines and participates in health testing for common bovine conditions. All herds undergo regular veterinary health evaluations, genetic screening and nutritional assessments to maintain strong bloodlines and overall herd vitality.

Animals enjoy generous pasture turnout, daily grazing rotation and shelter access through seasonal weather shifts. Shane focuses on gentle handling and early socialization, evident in calves that remain calm during loading, vaccination and routine inspections. Families appreciate the straightforward guidance on herd management and the farm’s quieter rhythm away from high-density operations.

Several steers from recent calves placed in junior breeding programs demonstrate consistent conformation, muscle development and resilience on the show circuit. The ranch’s low-stress environment, careful pasture rotation and open-sky shelter contribute to steady growth and well-defined muscle structure.
