Duckett Limousin

Duckett Limousin raises Limousin cattle in Grimes, IA, serving Polk County and the Des Moines area. Nicholas Duckett adheres to American Limousin Association guidelines, registering each calf and conducting routine health and genetic testing. Calves are monitored from birth through market readiness, with vaccination schedules tailored to regional needs and seasonal risks. Cattle graze on rotational pastures enriched by cover crops and receive supplemental feed from locally milled grains.

Animals are gently exposed to handling and machinery sounds, a practice that supports calmer temperaments during transport and in new herds. The operation has grown steadily over the past decade, blending traditional ranch methods with selective breeding to balance muscle development, fertility, and disposition. Farm visits take place by appointment under established herd health guidelines. Many customers praise the gentle demeanor of the cattle and report improved calving ease thanks to careful sire selection.
