Gates Limousin Ranch LLC

Gates Limousin Ranch LLC, Limousin cattle, Roscoe, MT, Carbon County and the Yellowstone Valley near Billings. Mary Gates is the owner and has raised Limousin cattle on her family’s century-old ranch nestled in foothill grasslands for many years. The ranch participates in the American Limousin Association and all breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary health checks and meets ALA registration standards.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and is managed with low-stress handling techniques, while in winter months cattle are fed high-quality forage and mineral supplements to maintain condition. Calves remain with their dams on open rangeland until weaning to encourage strong maternal bonds and development.

Detailed records of birth weights, growth rates and maternal efficiency guide the ranch’s selection decisions. Local producers note the cattle’s gentle temperaments and consistent weaning weights. The operation maintains a closed herd policy, adheres to strict biosecurity measures, implements wildlife disease monitoring and soil conservation practices to protect herd health.
