Ortiz Ranch, your source for registered Limousin, Lim-Flex and Angus seed stock.
Who we are
We are a family owned ranch raising Limousin, Lim-flex and Angus cattle. We built our ranch from the ground up and breed our cattle to meet our high standards for docility, calving ease, and growth.
Ortiz Ranch was established in 1985 in Lytton Springs in Caldwell County, Texas. Originally a commercial cattle operation built with a Limousin bull on commercial cows and a few registered cows. In 2016 we purchased our first three registered Limousin and Lim-flex heifers. Each year since we have carefully purchased additional purebred heifers, bulls as well as semen and embryos from the best genetics in the country. Since those first three registered heifers we have grown substantially. The results have been outstanding. The calves are better with each generation.
The purebred herd is maintained much like the commercial was. The cows must breed back, calve on time each year and produce quality calves. All animals must meet the phenotype standards as well as be sound and docile. Docility is a critical trait for both cows and bulls.
Calves are weaned at 205 days and are fed a custom ration in groups. Each calf has data for birth weight, weaning weight, and yearling weight and EPD’s. We sell yearling bulls, 16-18 month old bulls and open heifers. All cattle are polled.

Our Focus
We focus on selling high quality replacement seedstock to commercial ranches. Our cattle are raised primarily on pasture with supplemental hay and grain as needed. We understand the needs of commercial operations and breed accordingly. Our cows are moderately framed, sound, have strong maternal traits, good milk, breed back quickly and raise healthy calves. Our bulls are sound and fertility tested. All our cattle are healthy, docile and meet the phenotype standard.
