Over the many years at Treftz Limousin, we stand behind this motto: Develop a product you are passionate about. Commit to your product. Market your product. Stand behind your product. And most important, BELIEVE in your product. As a small breeder, our success must come by differentiating our product from others. We need to develop a product we truly believe will enhance your operation. We feel by using our purebred bulls on your English based cows, you will see the most hybrid vigor than at any point of the crossbreeding plane. The more diverse the genetics between the 2 breeds of cattle, the more bang you will receive from the cross. We’ve done it here on our own F1 baldie herd and it works. If you took an objective look at your calves in the fall and you came to the realization you need a shot of muscle and SALE performance, you need to be with us on February 13. For more than 35 years, we’ve selected cattle with those traits in mind CONSULTANT: amongst others such disposition, milk and fleshing ability. Fat can be fed on, muscle can’t. Using Treftz Limousin bulls will produce those wide topped calves with expressive hindquarters that will make you proud on sale day. If you take them to the next level and background or finish, you will be impressed with the conversion and efficiency where Limousin are second-to-none! We don’t show cattle; instead we try to produce females that will make functional brood cows that are ready to go to work. The open heifers in the sale are destined for that goal. Whether it’s calving, feeding, clipping, picturing or videoing, we KNOW these bulls and heifers! If there are any details, no matter how small you want to know, don’t hesitate to call prior to the sale. You will notice lots of photos in this catalog.
