Begalka Livestock

Begalka Livestock raises Hereford cattle in Castlewood, South Dakota, serving families in southeast South Dakota near Sioux Falls. The operation has more than a decade of experience and participates in breed registry programs, following recommended health testing protocols to ensure strong bloodlines. Livestock benefit from rotational grazing on open pastures and regular low-stress handling as part of daily routines.

Calves are introduced to human interaction early, promoting calm temperaments and easier herd integration. Begalka Livestock’s family-owned farm maintains a simple barn and shelter setup, offering protection from weather and ample space for natural behaviors. Their focus on consistent care and community connections has earned positive feedback from local producers who value honest breeding practices.

Regular visits by local large-animal veterinarians support preventive care and herd health monitoring. The ranch uses durable fencing and handling chutes to reduce stress and maintain safety for both animals and staff.
