Lonely Valley Limousin

Lonely Valley Limousin raises Limousin cattle in Creston, NE, located in Platte County and central Nebraska near Grand Island. Lonely Valley Limousin has worked with its herd for several years, holds membership in the American Limousin Association and conducts DNA testing alongside regular structural health checks.

Its cattle follow a rotational grazing schedule across varied pastures, with access to well-ventilated barns and fresh water at all times, and calves are handled daily to support early socialization. A climate-controlled calving barn provides safe shelter in all seasons, and selection focuses on maternal traits and moderate birth weights. Rooted in a family farm tradition, the operation balances pasture-based grazing with precise record-keeping to maintain breed characteristics and even temperaments.

Chad Settje’s attention to detail is reflected in the uniform conformation of each year’s calves. One long-term buyer praised the herd’s consistent structural soundness and calm disposition, noting the care evident from birth.
