The Commercial Beef Industry Is Our Focus

At Tomahawk Land & Cattle we breed, raise, feed, harvest and sell our customers' Limousin, Red Angus, and Angus beef (as well as our own) across America. We call this the "pasture-to-plate" approach in raising commercial beef.
Economically relevant traits are very important to us and we look for the following in all of our cattle:

Uniformity and consistency
Genetic advantages for tenderness
Improved yield grade
Improved muscling - mandatory for the 21st century!
Proper marbling

Ideal Target

The ideal target is easy keeping and deep-sided cattle, with a ribeye to carcass ratio (2.0 or better) that grades High Select to Low Choice. To achieve this target, we utilize the following Limousin, Red Angus and Angus sires:

Tomahawk's Range Luver
Tomahawk's Tyson
TCDT Hollywood
Vort Halfback
TUBB Tomahawks Crown 'N7
Schurrtop Global
CWP Harvest Luv
TCDT Jeronimo 6629
GKF Canadian Esquire
Southbridge Harvest
TCDT Jed (PUDD) 3071
Blevins Schurrtop Solution

Our bulls have been performance tested at Midland Bull Test, and have always placed at the top. One of Tomahawk's Limousin bulls was named the Midland Bull Sale Top Performance Bull. Each year our bulls are tested on the ranch at Billings, Montana.

All sale bulls are ultrasounded for ribeye, marbling, rib and rump fat by C.U.P. of Ames, Iowa. They usually average a rib backfat of 0.11 inch and rump fat of 0.12 inch. All weights and EPDs, including carcass EPDs, ADG on test, scrotal measurements, fertility test and ultrasound results are provided to prospective buyers.
