For over a hundred years cattle have roamed the yards and fields of the Venner Farms located in the fertile, rolling hills of western Iowa. Now in the fifth generation of cattle rearing, emphasis has shifted in recent years to a registered cow-calf herd rather than feeding market ready animals, although that is still a part of the operation. .
In 1979 Jim and Becky ventured into the beef seedstock industry with the purchase of a few Limousin females as several dispersal sales. Over the years Venner Limousin has developed into a reliable source for heavy muscled, user friendly beef bulls. Bulls and females are merchandised at Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City, SD as as well as off the farm. In addition, Venner Limousin hosts a “Nine plus 1” online sale in February featuring 9 bulls and 1 female lot. With our focus on superior quality, we can fulfill your needs.
Once again, we are heading to the Black Hills Stock Show, not only to display and merchandise some of our best genetics, but also to see many friends. This year our consignments include JBV Roosevelt 408M, an exciting young herd sire prospect with a ton of potential and JBV Lucy 222K, a female heavy with calf, who we think can be a factor in our quest for solid red genetics. You can see both with complete data, pictures and videos out below.
On February 11, 2025 we will host our third “Nine plus 1” online sale. However, you can’t fight mother nature and while our intentions are to offer 9 herd bull prospects and 1 female lot, an abundance of females born and lack of bulls, forces us to offer fewer bull prospects. Instead we are offering several bred heifers, both spring and fall calvers. These are heifers we normally would retain for our own herd so purchase with confidence. All females are guaranteed AI bred.
This sale will be hosted at L365 and will feature some of the most progressive genetics we have ever offered with “Something for Everyone”. All lots have genetic enhanced EPD’s and are fully guaranteed.

One of the things we as cattlemen pursue with a passion, is predictability and consistency of product. We feel that JBV Roosevelt 408M can offer you just that. His sire, COLE Genesis needs no introduction as he has been a true stalwart of the breed for many years, and his dam, JBV Girl Crush 422B is a true cornerstone female in our program with three sons working in prominent purebred programs. Something of a “designer” bull, Roosevelt excels in several economically pertinent traits and if you need to advance your cowherd in those traits, this double homozygous youngster may be your guy.
Calving Ease – Double digit CED and his -2.5 BW EPD is in the top 4 %.
Maternal – Milk EPD of 32, min top 5 %
Marbling – EPD of 0.50, highest 1 % of breed and highest ranked purebred
Add this to his depth of rib and thickness makes JBV Roosevelt worthy of your consideration.

JBV Lucy 222K
Lot 10 BHSS Limousin Sale February 7, 2025
It has been a long time since we brought a bred heifer to the Black Hills Stock Show, but we certainly think JBV Lucy 222K is worthy of making the trip.

Big bodied, huge footed and high performing, the closer she gets to calving, the more we think she should stay here, but this is your opportunity.

JBV Extra Credit 409M
Lot 3 “NINE plus 1” sale
February 11, 2025 L365auctions.com
Once in a while, breeders find a mating that really “nicks”. We have been fortunate to find that combination with History Buff on Earning Power females. JBV Extra Credit 409M is a result of that mating and consequentially he brings quite a lot to the table. Top shelf performance numbers and a top 4% marbling EPD yields indices in the top 3%. Combine that with powerful muscling and a ton of correctness and he could a candidate to be your next herd bull.
