ATAK Limousin | LimousinLive Featured Ranch

ATAK Limousin is committed to providing  top-quality Limousin cattle for both the commercial and seedstock cattleman – cattle that are good enough to show – but ultimately profitable in the pasture or feedlot. The program began in the mid-1980s and is operated by the Schmalshof Family. Andy and Tammy, along with their son Adam and daughter Karen, team up to help to run the program near Avon, IL. The first letter of each of their names make up the “ATAK” brand.

Their journey into the breed began when Andy purchased a red, horned Limousin bull to add muscle to his commercial cowherd. Since then, the Schmalshofs have continually strived to improve the next generation of Limousin cattle with a focus on producing cattle that fit the commercial marketplace. In fact, they still run a herd of commercial females as a way to ensure their genetics are fitting the bill.

Breed-leading genetics are the foundation behind ATAK Limousin. Here are a few examples:
