Justin Delay

Justin Delay is a Limousin cattle breeder in Milo, IA, south-central Iowa near Des Moines. With over a decade of experience, he follows guidelines set by the American Limousin Association and employs routine genetic and reproductive health testing. His herd grazes on rotational pastures to maintain optimal health and growth, and calves are socialized daily from birth to ensure a calm temperament.

The farm’s early adoption of low-stress livestock handling reflects a commitment to animal welfare. Delay’s focus on balanced nutrition blends forage, minerals and custom concentrates to support breeding performance. A reputation for gentle handling and sturdy conformation shines through in customer feedback and annual state fair classes, where several animals have placed consistently in quality classes. An open-farm policy allows visitors to observe daily routines and learn about sustainable breeding practices. The family-owned farm has been raising Limousin cattle for projects and local colleges, supporting research and 4-H mentoring.
