Musgrave Livestock

Musgrave Livestock breeds Limousin cattle in Pleasant Hill, IL, serving Pike County and west-central Illinois near Quincy. Owned by Braden Musgrave, the operation draws on years of hands-on experience with the breed and follows recommended health screenings for genetic conditions and overall herd well-being. Its herd is raised on rotational pasture, where calves stay with their mothers until weaning and receive daily low-stress handling.

Animals are vetted through regular veterinary care and benefit from a spacious, grass-based environment that promotes natural behaviors. They are fed a balanced forage and grain ration tailored to growth and reproductive health. Each spring brings a dedicated calving season, allowing close monitoring and gentle acclimation of newborns.

Braden Musgrave emphasizes steady temperament and maternal strength, traits valued by regional producers and family farms. The farm’s commitment to sound animal husbandry is reflected in consistent herd performance.
