Fossil Ridge Farms

Fossil Ridge Farms, run by Claudia Kaelin, raises fullblood Limousin cattle on a rocky ridge in St-Pascal-Baylon, in Eastern Ontario, about an hour east of Ottawa. The farm name itself comes from the landscape: a bedrock outcrop of marginal land that cannot be cultivated, making it naturally suited to pasture-raised livestock rather than row crops.

Claudia started the operation after returning from college, building a herd from a handful of cows her family had kept after transitioning out of dairy. Today the farm runs roughly 25 cow-calf pairs, with registered fullblood Limousin cattle as the core focus. The herd is 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised on land that the rest of the farm, dedicated to corn, soybeans, and wheat, cannot use.

The program's selection philosophy centers on the breed's fine bone structure, high dressing percentage, and the F94L myostatin gene, which Claudia cites for its role in feed efficiency and meat yield. Fossil Ridge Farms also appears among the Canadian Limousin Association's Elite Herd Program, which recognizes producers who carry out thorough performance recording on registered animals. Those looking for Limousin cattle for sale in Ontario will find a producer whose breeding decisions are grounded in documented performance data rather than visual selection alone.
