Sires Used at Leonard Limousin

Throughout the years, we have focused on the best of the new bulls, as well as the tried and true proven sires of the past. Calf crops are sired by Leonard Limousin's great bulls of today and yesterday, including Pistol Pete, Beefmaster, Extra Spectacular, Polled Pension and the great Sooner Jr. on cows. Mature females also are A.I.'d to L 7'N Seven.

Heifers are bred to Wulf's Guardian, Master Brun Yankee and Mosbo Polled Tonto. The clean-up bulls used have been sons of Beefmaster, First Choice and L 7'N Seven.

Pistol Pete 109P is our herd sire. Sired by Auto Black Dakota 129J and out of DVF Miss Sable 381H, Pistol Pete is a homozygous polled, very high performance bull with a superb disposition that puts capacity, thickness and muscle in his calves along with extra body length. He's very good structurally with excellent big foot and leg structure. EPDs on Pistol Pete are: BW 3.9; WW 52: YW 91; MA 28; SC .2: DOC 17.

SBVL Beefmaster

Beefmaster, pictured here as a 10-month-old, served Leonard Limousin well until his death after a fall in 2004. We purchased this polled, black meathouse from Jay Straight in 1998 for $28,500. He was the high-selling Limousin bull at the Iowa Beef Expo that year. Beefmaster puts big loin-eye and extra performance in his calves. He passes his agreeable disposition on to his calves and we're seeing very large testicle size in his sons.

Sooner Jr.

Our own Sooner Jr. was purchased in 1978 for $160,000 from H.A. McCoy in Oklahoma. This son of Sooner served as senior herd sire for years at our place, due to his remarkable performance, longevity, structural correctness and the sweetest disposition you'd ever hope for. Daughters of his just don't miss — still producing rock-solid calves at 15 and 16 years of age. Daughters, granddaughters and on down the line populate the herd today. Stop by and see for yourself. Semen available for $20.

LLR Polled Pension

This home-raised 1989 son of Polled Pack Leader was sure good to the Leonard Limousin breeding program over the years. One of the most impressive-looking sires to ever grace our pastures, he added pounds, eye appeal and scrotal dimension to his bull calves. His virility impressed all who saw him from the Denver Stock Show to our pastures during his tenure as senior herd sire. He's gone, but not forgotten.

A dependable easy calver out of the herd of old friend Rolf Mosbo from Iowa. We sleep better in March knowing some of the heifers are bred to Tonto.
