Pat O'Dell

Pat O'Dell breeds Limousin cattle in Colton, OR, located in Clackamas County and the Willamette Valley near Portland. Pat O'Dell participates in the national Limousin association, maintains detailed herd records and performs regular health screenings including genetic and fertility testing.

The herd grazes across rotational pastures, supplemented by hay from neighboring farms during winter, and calves are raised in small groups to encourage healthy social bonds. Sustainable land management practices, such as cover cropping and controlled grazing, help preserve soil health and biodiversity on the farm. Low-stress handling methods are used at every stage, from weaning to transport, ensuring calm temperament and ease of adaptation in both show and commercial settings.

The family-run operation traces its origins to a long line of cattle farmers and emphasizes transparency with prospective buyers through farm visits and ongoing support. Feedback from local producers highlights the consistent structural soundness and balanced conformation that characterize Pat O'Dell’s Limousin cattle.
