Schott Limousin Ranch

Schott Limousin Ranch, Limousin cattle, Mc Laughlin, SD, in the northern plains near Bismarck. Owned by James G Schott, the ranch has been breeding Limousin cattle for several years and participates in national breed associations to ensure quality and traceability. Animals graze on native grass pastures managed with rotational practices and receive daily handling from birth to foster calm temperaments.

Calves stay with their dams in open paddocks, allowing natural maternal bonding and steady growth without abrupt weaning. The operation combines traditional ranching methods with attention to animal welfare, including routine health screenings and a low stress weaning program. Customers appreciate the ranch’s transparent records and steady availability of well conditioned, easy doing bulls and heifers suited to both commercial and seedstock herds.

The ranch maintains detailed records on birth weights, weaning weights and dam performance to guide selection decisions. Facilities include calving pens and climate controlled shelter to support herd well being through South Dakota’s variable seasons.
