At Iverson’s Limousin Cattle, we’ve chosen to raise Limousin cattle because they consistently deliver beef that stands out in both quality and nutrition. What Makes Limousin Beef Special? Limousin cattle are a French breed known for producing exceptionally lean, tender, and flavorful beef. They’ve been prized in Europe for centuries and have earned a reputation in the U.S. for their superior meat yield and natural efficiency on grass-based diets. Here’s what sets Limousin beef apart: 

• High Yield, Low Waste: Limousin cattle have one of the highest carcass yields of any beef breed, meaning you get more high-quality meat per animal, and less waste. 

• Naturally Lean: Limousin beef is leaner than most traditional breeds like Angus, making it a great choice for health-conscious families without sacrificing tenderness or flavor. 

• Fine-Grained Texture: The meat has a firm but fine-grained texture that cooks beautifully, from slow-roasts to grill-ready steaks. 

• Superior Tenderness: Despite being lean, the beef is known for its remarkable tenderness, especially when grass-finished properly, as we do here at Iverson’s. Nutritional Benefits of Grass-Fed Limousin Beef Because our Limousin cattle are 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised, the beef you receive is not only delicious but also more nutritious:

  • ​ Higher in Omega-3 fatty acids

  • Rich in vitamins A and E 

  • Contains more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may support metabolism and heart health 

  • Naturally lower in total fat and calories compared to grain-fed beef
