E J Steinke Ranches Inc

E J Steinke Ranches Inc, Limousin cattle, Rigby, Idaho, serves Eastern Idaho and Idaho Falls. With over three decades of operation on family-owned land, it has refined its selection criteria and breeding goals to suit Idaho’s climate challenges. It is a member of the American Limousin Association, tracking metrics for calving ease, feed efficiency and carcass quality, and ensures each breeding animal undergoes regular veterinary exams and performance testing. Cattle graze on irrigated pastures where natural grasses thrive, with daily handling that promotes early socialization and calm temperaments.

Calves spend their first weeks in a sheltered barn environment before moving to open fields alongside mature stock. This approach has led to consistent growth rates and adaptability across high-desert climates. Owner Alan Steinke draws on his ranching heritage to balance efficiency with animal welfare. Its reputation for reliable bloodlines and steady performance has made it a trusted source for family farms and commercial operations throughout the region.
