The Family Farms

Leonard Limousin & Angus operates from family farms just north of Holstein, Iowa.

Leonard Limousin Herd Sire Pete Pistol at work during the summer of 2009. Pistol Pete is homozygous polled with very good feet and legs and explosive growth. We have a large group of Pistol Pete sons available for your appraisal.

LEFT: The Bill and Gloria Leonard home, built in 1912, serves as headquarters for Leonard Limousin & Angus.
RIGHT: This purebred Limousin cow is medium-framed, easy-keeping, docile, deep bodied and a terrific mama, all traits that typify Leonard Limousin females.
