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 several Midwestern consignment sale as as well as off the farm. With our focus on superior quality, we can fulfill your needs.
As the world around us changes, so do marketing plans at Venner Limousin. On February 9, 2023 we will host the “Nine plus 1” online sale featuring 9 herd bull prospects and 1 female lot. This sale will be hosted at L365 and will feature some of the first progeny of JBV Yellowstone 901G, the popular syndicated young sire raised here and will include some of the best genetics we have ever raised.
We are also offering 2 bulls at the Black Hills Stock Show on February 3rd. These include a Yellowstone son with the data and phenotype to be a legitimate herd sire and a red yearling bull with built in calving ease. We invite to come visit our stalls in Rapid City or at the farm anytime.
