Nestled in the heart of Lake Andes, SD, our ranch has grown from humble beginnings into a recognized leader in the industry. Today, we proudly manage one of the largest registered Piedmontese herds in North America, alongside a 1,400-head outside feedlot and a state-of-the-art 900-head confinement facility for seasonal calving, backgrounding, and finishing.
