S&L Farms

S&L Farms raises Limousin cattle in Blacksville, West Virginia, in northern West Virginia near Pittsburgh. David Spears has focused on Limousin breeding for over a decade, maintaining membership in the American Limousin Association while following recommended genetic, fertility and structural screenings to promote sound conformation.

The operation uses rotational grazing across multiple well-fenced pastures with shelters and fresh water available throughout the year, while routine hoof trimming and parasite control keep the herd in good condition. Calves remain with their mothers and receive gentle daily handling to foster calm temperament and early socialization. Spears integrates pasture forages with supplemental grains during winter to maintain steady growth and optimal body condition.

Local livestock owners frequently remark on the even temperament and consistent carcass quality noted during farm visits. The farm’s balanced approach to nutrition and pasture management supports consistent feed conversion and animal well-being year-round.
