Amundson Farms

Amundson Farms, a Chianina cattle farm in Webster, South Dakota, is located in Day County and the James River Valley near Sioux Falls. The farm has been raising Chianina cattle for more than two decades and maintains membership in the American Chianina Association with regular genetic health testing.

They emphasize pasture-based management and allow young stock to graze freely on native grasses while receiving daily health checks and handling to support calm temperaments. All calves are socialized from birth and housed in spacious barns during cold months with bedding refreshed daily. Their feeding program focuses on local forages without growth hormones or unnecessary supplements.

As a multigenerational operation, Amundson Farms combines family traditions with modern record-keeping for traceability and breeding decisions. Its reputation within regional livestock circles reflects careful attention to animal welfare and herd performance. Some of its heifers have placed in state fair competitions, demonstrating consistent quality across bloodlines.
