L 7 Bar Limousin

L 7 Bar Limousin breeds Limousin cattle in Pukwana, SD, serving Brule County and the Missouri River Valley near Sioux Falls. With years of experience in purebred cattle management, Rod Peterson follows guidelines from national breed associations and maintains full registration and routine health screenings for every animal. Calves are raised on open pasture, gently handled from birth and accustomed to family farm life.

The operation emphasizes sound structure and calm temperaments, with attention to genetic selection for growth and maternal traits. A focus on rotational grazing and trace mineral supplementation supports herd health without unnecessary treatments. Visitors often note the well-maintained facilities and the breeder’s dedication to producing cattle that perform on both pasture and feedlot settings. They participate in the American Limousin Association’s performance programs to track and improve traits. Breeding decisions are guided by data on calving ease and feed efficiency.
