for themselves the muscling in
these cattle and they see that
disposition isn’t a problem,
they can start exploring what
the Limousin breed can do for
them as commercial operators.
Marketing and education is so
important for all of us to spread
the word about our breed.”
Perhaps that’s why Treftz is
seeing such demand for his bulls.
He’s a proud advocate and a
strong proponent of maintaining
the Limousin traits that make
the breed so great. His bulls are a
reflection of that philosophy, and Treftz is excited for the future.
“At a time where all breeds of cattle are starting to look alike, my
slogan, ‘where muscle still matters,’ has even more meaning to me
now,” said Treftz. “I’m going to keep doing what works and continue
to respond to what my customers are telling me they want, and what
they want is Limousin muscle.”
Treftz is supported in his efforts by his family including Lori, a registered
nurse at HCR Manor Care; Dustin, a plant operator at Glacial Lake
Energy; Courtney, a lead family services specialist for the State of South
Dakota; and Reece, a freshman at NSU majoring in History.
In an effort to show the
Limousin breed in action,
Glenn hosts ranch tours which
allows people to see his females
in their natural environment.
“Once they see for themselves
the muscling in these cattle
and they see that disposition
isn’t a problem, they can start
exploring what the Limousin
breed can do for them as
commercial operators,” he says.
When asked what advice he
would offer to other Limousin
breeders, Treftz shared a motto
he came up with while driving
the tractor: “Develop a product you are passionate about. Commit to
your product. Market your product. Stand behind your product. And
most important, believe in your product.”
