S&L Farms

S&L Farms is a Limousin cattle breeder in Blacksville, WV, serving the West Virginia panhandle near Morgantown. David Spears has been raising Limousin cattle for over a decade, maintains memberships with national breed associations, and oversees regular health screenings, including genetic, reproductive and ultrasound evaluations.

The herd lives on pasture with open-air shelters, and calves are socialized daily to promote calm temperaments and easy handling. The farm’s rolling ridge landscape supports rotational grazing practices that improve forage quality and sustain soil health. An emphasis on maternal strength and steady weight gain is reflected in consistent weaning results season after season.

Annual scrotal circumference checks and body condition scoring help maintain breeding stock that meets industry standards. The operation participates in local agricultural fairs and shares breeding insights with neighboring farms to support breed improvement. Visitors often remark on clean barns and sturdy fencing, a reflection of daily attention to animal welfare and farm safety.
