Hermitage Limousin

Hermitage Limousin raises Limousin cattle in Middleburg, FL, in Northeast Florida near Jacksonville.

Under the guidance of Deborah H Plaia, the farm maintains membership in the American Limousin Association and follows industry-recommended genetic screening and herd health protocols. The cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive individual attention through low-stress handling, ensuring steady growth and balanced temperaments. Calves stay with their mothers until weaning and are introduced to daily routines that encourage gentle social interaction.

Barn and shaded resting areas are available during extreme weather, and mineral supplements are provided based on soil and forage analysis. Regular hoof trimming and vaccination schedules are managed in consultation with local veterinarians to support overall well-being. Visitors often note the calm nature of the herd and consistent breeding outcomes that reflect the farm’s commitment to sustainable ranching practices. A multi-generational passion for cattle care informs every decision, from pasture rotation to breeding pair selection.
