Domonoske's Star Of The No

Domonoske’s Star Of The No, Limousin cattle, Elysian, MN are a family-run farm in southern Minnesota near Mankato. With over fifteen years of experience, Russell and Nancy Domonoske participate in the American Limousin Association and carry out genetic screening for calving ease, growth and maternal traits. Both bulls and heifers receive quarterly hoof care and regular veterinary evaluations, and testing protocols include bovine viral diarrhea screening and foot-and-mouth checks.

Their herd grazes rotationally across diverse pasture mixes, encouraging natural foraging behavior and supporting soil health. Calves are socialized early through daily handling and educational farm visits, promoting calm temperaments that adapt to various management settings. Housing combines sheltered barns with open loafing areas and access to fresh water, reflecting a commitment to animal comfort and biosecurity.

The farm’s roots in sustainable agriculture date back decades, underlining a long-standing focus on land stewardship. Testimonials often note the consistency of temperament and performance in their Limousin calves, valued by small farms and crossbreeding programs alike.
