David Vaughn

David Vaughn, Limousin cattle, Cavalier, ND, raises Limousin stock in Pembina County and the Red River Valley near Grand Forks. With over a decade of breeding, he adheres to breed association guidelines and performs regular health examinations for both calves and cows, including calving evaluations and vaccination programs.

The herd grazes on lush rotational pastures and calves are handled daily from birth to build trust and resilience before they join the breeding program. Selective pairing emphasizes balanced muscle development and efficient feed conversion, attributes appreciated by both small-scale ranchers and larger operations. Facilities include windbreak shelters, heated waterers for harsh winters, and secure fencing to ensure herd safety year-round.

His multigenerational ranch background informs a long-term perspective on herd health and pasture stewardship. Data from annual weigh-ins and ultrasound evaluations supports selection decisions and helps maintain uniformity across his calves.
