In 1969, Circle T Limousin was started by Ernest and Wilma Tedford. Limousin cattle caught Ernest's eye. He applied for and received a permit to import a female and went to France in 1972 to select a heifer for himself. Armed with more permits, Ernest made another visit to France in 1973 and selected three more females.
Circle T Limousin breeds and markets purebred livestock with the objective to sell high quality females and bulls. Circle T cattle have been shown and sold across Canada with approximately 40% of the company's sales outside Saskatchewan. We have sold breeding stock and semen to breeders in nine Canadian provinces, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Washington, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and Brazil.
Ernest and Wilma attended the founding convention in Calgary in 1970 where he became a Canadian Limousin member. Ernest joined the Manitoba Limousin Association in 1971 and was made an honorary life member in 1975. In 1972 he helped to organize the Saskatchewan Limousin Association and was elected President a year later. Ernest attended the Limousin World Congress in Australia in 1988 and again in Fort Worth in 1992.
Circle T , which Ernest operated with the help of his wife and three sons, has been in the Limousin business for over 37 years. We appreciate all of the people who supported us over the years and our repeat customers who continue to buy our bulls and females.
The original farm homestead was established in 1906 and is now a centennial third and fourth generation program. Our past history tells us that we have sold over 1000 head of registered Limousin cattle. We currently have over 200 head of Limousin cows. Welcome to Circle T .
