Jeff Jackson

Jeff Jackson, Limousin cattle, Walnut Springs, TX, is based in central Texas near Waco. With strong ties to national cattle associations, he follows industry-recommended health screening and performance testing protocols to support sound genetics and overall herd health. The herd grazes on native grasslands throughout the year, and calves spend their first weeks in outdoor nursery paddocks where gentle handling and early social interaction help shape calm temperaments. The farm reflects generations of ranching knowledge, and each animal benefits from a pasture-first approach that emphasizes natural forage, rotational grazing and low-stress handling.

The operation hosts occasional educational visits, allowing guests to observe daily herd management and learn about production practices that balance land stewardship with calf welfare. Several herd sires have sired offspring recognized for consistent weight gains, structural soundness and maternal traits valued by regional producers. The breeding program prioritizes balanced genetics for growth efficiency, fertility and temperament, drawing on sire lines with proven track records in both commercial and show settings. Detailed herd records inform selection decisions and support consistent performance across generations.
