3 Buck Cattle Co.

3 Buck Cattle Co. raises shorthorn cattle in Bryant, SD, in south-central South Dakota near Sioux Falls. Owner Bret Buck has over ten years of experience, is an active member of the American Shorthorn Association, and follows industry-standard health testing with USDA grading guidelines to ensure herd health. Its cattle graze on rotational pastures rich in native grasses and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments and strong social bonds.

Founded on family ranching traditions, the operation emphasizes sustainable grazing practices that support soil health and water conservation. Breeding selections prioritize genetic diversity and functional conformation suited for both show rings and productive pastures. Gentle handling from birth and exposure to varied pasture environments prepare breeding stock with steady dispositions. Consistent record-keeping and attention to feed quality reflect a commitment to responsible stewardship and the well-being of each animal. Calves born each spring are weaned on site and evaluated for growth and temperament.
