Wade W Or Vicki Beckman

Wade W Or Vicki Beckman raise Limousin cattle in Roberts, Idaho, in Southeastern Idaho near Pocatello. They have been working with the breed for several years and participate in national Limousin association programs, ensuring routine health screening for genetic conditions.

All breeding stock undergoes ultrasound evaluations for muscling and marbling to support consistent carcass quality and structural soundness. They maintain a closed herd policy with strict biosecurity protocols to minimize disease risk. Their herd grazes on native grassland pastures complemented by open-shelter barns, and calves receive early handling to develop calm temperaments.

Performance data is recorded through a national database for transparent breeding metrics, highlighting growth rates and maternal indexes. Calves are raised alongside their dams through weaning on rotationally grazed pastures, transitioning to a mixed forage diet to encourage healthy early growth. Their approach blends traditional ranching practices with modern herd health tracking to sustain long-term herd vitality.
