Hawkins Limousin

Hawkins Limousin raises Limousin cattle in Krum, TX, in Denton County and the Dallas Fort Worth area near Dallas.

Ralph Hawkins has bred Limousin for over a decade and holds memberships in national cattle associations, with animals screened for common genetic conditions. The herd grazes on open pasture to encourage natural foraging and social bonds, with regular handling to prepare cattle for calm transport.

The farm uses rotational grazing practices to maintain pasture health and offers calves a gradual introduction to weaning pens adjoining the main barnyard. Several of its bulls have earned performance records in muscle development and growth rate trials recognized by industry groups. Hawkins Limousin notes consistent weight gains and docile temperaments among offspring, reflecting a focus on sustainable breeding and long-term ranch stewardship. Calves remain with their dams for at least six months to support healthy growth and maternal bonding.
