Curt Wieczorek, Wieczorek Limousin, Named 2022 NALF Promoter of the Year

Curt Wieczorek addressed Limousin breeders at the annual meeting in Oklahoma City, OK, during the first week of January at Cattlemen’s Congress.

Wieczorek Limousin is a fourth-generation operation located in southeastern South Dakota.

Their main headquarters is located on the original tract of land homesteaded in 1882 by ancestors who immigrated here from Germany. While the original sod house no longer exists, the values that comprised that generation still do – faith, family and work ethic.

Wieczorek Limousin has utilized artificial insemination since 1968 to advance the quality of our cow herd. In 1972, they expanded their existing multi-breed herd with Limousin sires, such as Dandy, Éclair and Prince Pompadour. The ease of calving, coupled with the calf vigor and muscularity from those first matings sold the family on the breed. From that point forward, Wieczorek switched exclusively to Limousin on the entire herd and began to build the purebred herd that currently grazes the pastures.

Their inaugural bull sale was hosted in 1981. “We are proud to have several customers that bought bulls at that first sale who are still purchasing WZRK genetics today. Taking care of people and making sure they are satisfied has always been our number one goal,” states Curt Wieczorek.

Curt has been active in many organizations over the years including terms on the NALF Board of Directors and serving as President of the association.
