Mistletoe Limousins was established in 1993. Mistletoe has progressed to a predominantly polled herd, sourcing the best genetics from Australia and around the world.

The use of homozygous polled sires has embedded the polled gene in the herd while keeping the desired Limousin traits of ease of calving, fertility, growth, muscle with fat cover (rib, P8 and IMF) and docility.
All animals are Breedplan recorded and part of the Limousin Assurance Program. Our females calve easily, and their progeny have very good growth.
They are quiet and have the amount of fat cover that the market is looking for while still retaining their high yield, especially of the more expensive cuts.
The female portion of the calves are recognised for their yield and are rarely discounted when compared to the male portion of the calves, thus making similar money to the steers.
We do take heifers and bulls to the Limousin National Show and Sale. Winning the Supreme Exhibit at the National Show and sale in 2023, 2024 with Junior Champion Female and Reserve Champion Female and again in 2025 with Champion Senior Bull.
It has been rewarding that all animals have sold to other studs to advance the genetics of their breeding herds, which vindicates our breeding program.
At the beginning of winter, we had an offer to sell all but a handful of our herds to GFK Limousins.
Due to the drought conditions at the time and a realisation that we could not go on for ever, we took the offer.
We will continue to breed from the few we have left, but will start to turn towards a commercial enterprise.
Our aim has always been to provide bulls with quality genetics for our commercial breeders.
This year there will be 12-month-old and two-year-old bulls for sale (semen tested). This will be the last chance to purchase a Mistletoe bull at the Victorian Beef Week Field Days.
Join us to have a chat and just see how far Limousin cattle have progressed.
We would love to catch up with previous clients, current clients and anyone thinking of using the Limousin advantage in their herd.
A bull with Mistletoe genetics will improve your bottom line.
Mistletoe Limousins is located in Greta West, Victoria.
