Shelby Skinner

Shelby Skinner raises Limousin cattle in Bolivar, MO, serving Polk County and the Ozarks near Springfield. Shelby Skinner has bred Limousin cattle for more than a decade and maintains membership in the American Limousin Association. All breeding stock undergoes routine genetic screening and regular veterinary assessments.

Herds graze on rotational pasture systems beneath open sky to support natural foraging and strong hoof health, and calves are proudly socialized daily from birth to promote calm temperaments. A family approach to daily care ensures hands-on attention, clean shelter and gradual acclimation to environmental changes throughout developmental stages. The farm’s emphasis on maternal traits and balanced growth reflects a long-term commitment to sustainable cattle raising.

The herd has participated in regional livestock shows, earning consistent praise for sound structure and temperament. Outreach efforts include hosting local ag tours that introduce youth to herd management and responsible breeding.
