Broad River Farm

Broad River Farm Limousin cattle in Carnesville, GA, serves northeast Georgia near Athens. Owner Austin Ertzberger has raised pedigree Limousin cattle for several years as a member of the American Limousin Association, registering and performance testing each calf. The herd grazes rotationally across creek-fed and hillside pastures and has access to roomy shelters and wind breaks during colder months.

Calves learn low-stress handling from an early age and receive regular farrier and veterinary checks to support thriving health and sound hooves. Genetic records and ultrasound data guide selection of cattle with robust bone structure, favorable carcass marbling, and temperament suited to varied grazing conditions. Broad River Farm’s balanced feeding program and careful selection for structure have produced cattle known for consistent growth and sound build. Manure and crop residues return nutrients to the fields, supporting a balanced ecosystem. Each year the farm refines its grazing plan to protect riparian zones along the Broad River tributaries.
