Barnaud Limousin Ranch

Barnaud Limousin Ranch, Limousin cattle, Belle Fourche, SD is based in Butte County and the Black Hills near Rapid City. The ranch has been breeding cattle for several years and holds membership with the American Limousin Association. Each animal undergoes routine health testing for calving ease and growth traits and the herd sires are evaluated for genetic conditions common to the breed.

Calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization. The operation blends traditional ranching methods with careful genetic selection focused on maternal strength and feed efficiency. Rotational grazing across river-bottom pastures helps maintain forage diversity and soil health, reflecting the ranch’s long-standing stewardship. Breeding decisions prioritize structural soundness and market resilience, drawing praise from regional feeders for consistent weight gains. Buyers note the herd’s uniform carcass quality and steady temperaments as indicators of balanced breeding practices.
