Thanks
for visiting Legacy Farms!
We are a total family farm with 500 acres of row crops
50 miles south of Springfield and near Salem Illinois.
We raise Limousin and Lim-flex cattle and Australian
Shepherd dogs. Our emphasis has and always will be on
sound, docile, productive cattle that will work whether
in the show ring or feedlot. Over the years we’ve culled
hard for disposition, structure and performance. All of
the calves are broke to tie to test for disposition. Our
cow herd manages on grass hay and pasture and very small
amounts of protein and mineral supplements. Our bull
calves must have above average scrotal development to
stay bulls. We have fed out our own cattle, sold cattle
as feeders and as processed beef and sell breeding
stock. We pride ourselves in the care our cattle are
given and the manner in which they are handled.
We love to show cattle. Through the years all the “kids”
have benefited from all aspects of the show ring
experience – from the wash rack to the tanbark. Our
family has put many miles in a truck and trailer going
to all level of shows from the local county fairs to the
Limousin Junior Nationals to the North American in
Louisville. We have lots of stories to tell! The people
we’ve met, the experiences shared and the awards earned
have enriched our lives in ways we never dreamt possible
when we started so many years ago. Another generation is
taking up the challenge and we can think of few family
projects that teach kids more about responsibility and
possibilities.
