Bar Jz Polled Herefords

Bar Jz Polled Herefords raises Hereford cattle in Holabird, SD, in Hyde County and the Missouri River valley near Pierre. The herd is registered with national breed associations, and cattle receive routine health evaluations, including screening for genetic traits and structural soundness. Guided by breed guidelines, the ranch focuses on maternal health and efficient feed conversion to meet diverse breeding goals. Calves stay with dams on well-managed pasture, and regular handling fosters a calm temperament from an early age.

Animals have access to sheltered loafing areas, fresh water, and seasonally adjusted mineral programs to support overall health. Winter feeding shifts to bale grazing to preserve soil structure and optimize nutrient intake. Rotational grazing practices maintain pasture quality and encourage natural foraging behavior. The operation contributes to local agricultural fairs and breed showcases, reflecting a commitment to community engagement and herd integrity.
