Byrd Creek Farms LLC

Byrd Creek Farms LLC, Limousin cattle, Burfordville, MO, southeastern Missouri near Cape Girardeau, is a family-run operation dedicated to breeding strong, adaptable stock. Owner Luke Aufdenberg draws on a family tradition of cattle ranching to maintain a herd focused on sound conformation and genetic health. Each animal is part of national Limousin association programs covering performance testing and coat color screening to preserve breed standards. Cattle graze on rotational pastures with supplemental hay in winter, and every cow and calf receives regular veterinary care to ensure wellness and temperamental consistency.

Calves are acclimated to handling pens and loading chutes early to build calmness and simplify transitions for commercial or show settings. The farm’s hands-on approach prioritizes early socialization through group grazing and gentle daily handling to foster resilience. Sustainable land management practices guide grazing cycles, reflecting a commitment to soil health and water quality. This balanced model has earned praise from local ranchers seeking reliable, high-performance breeding stock.
