Portwood Family Limousin

Portwood Family Limousin is a breeder of Limousin cattle in Versailles, KY, Woodford County and the Bluegrass Region near Lexington. Al Portwood has been raising Limousin cattle for more than a decade, maintaining American Limousin Association registration and conducting routine health and genetic testing on each herd.

Herds graze on mixed grass pastures and are rotated seasonally to support hoof health and forage diversity. Detailed records are kept for each calf’s lineage and growth milestones, reflecting a commitment to transparency and long-term herd improvement. Visitors often note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and Portwood’s readiness to share insights on cattle management.

Set on gently rolling acreage, the operation balances modern fencing with shaded loafing areas that encourage natural behaviors. Some offspring have placed in regional livestock shows, illustrating the herd’s consistent quality without sacrificing animal well-being. Attention to nutrition and careful calving protocols help ensure healthy growth from birth onward.
