Walnut Ridge Limousin

Walnut Ridge Limousin raises Limousin cattle in Anderson, MO, in southwestern Missouri near Springfield. Experienced in purebred cattle breeding, they hold membership in national Limousin associations and perform routine genetic and health testing. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures, receive early socialization with handlers, and are managed with attention to welfare and natural behavior.

The family ranch blends generational practices with modern management to promote balanced temperament and consistent performance. Their herd has been recognized for efficient feed conversion and strong maternal traits at regional agricultural events. Co-owners Gene Smith and Lori Smith draw on decades of ranching expertise to oversee herd selection, pasture management, and customer support with a personal touch. They ensure calves are introduced to handling from birth and maintain clear records for growth, health, and lineage tracking. The ranch sits on gently rolling hills bordered by native timber, offering a varied environment that supports animal well-being throughout the seasons.
