Treftz Limousin

Treftz Limousin raises registered Limousin cattle near Westport, South Dakota, roughly 20 miles northwest of Aberdeen in the upper plains of the northern Midwest. Glenn Treftz built the operation from the ground up as a first-generation Limousin breeder, purchasing his first bull and a small group of Limousin-cross cows in 1983 before gradually developing a full seedstock program.

The herd's foundation rests on carcass merit, longevity, and cow fertility, with Glenn running registered cows in a manner that mirrors commercial production so that the cattle he offers are genuinely practical for working ranchers. A tight 60-day breeding season, a synchronized AI program, and a winter diet of grass hay, alfalfa, and a complete mineral program keep the cow herd on a disciplined schedule. The cattle are expected to thrive in the demanding climate of the northern plains, handling both summer heat and hard winters.

For producers searching for Limousin cattle for sale in South Dakota, Treftz represents a seedstock source shaped by decades of on-ranch selection rather than the show ring. Glenn has served nine years on the South Dakota Limousin Association board, including four years as president, and has also served on the Heartland Limousin Association board. Ranch tours are a regular part of how the program presents itself, letting buyers evaluate cattle in the pasture rather than in a sale barn setting.
