Cody & Shawna Chabot

Cody & Shawna Chabot, Hereford cattle breeders in Sundance, WY, raise cattle in northeast Wyoming near Rapid City. They adhere to American Hereford Association guidelines and maintain regular health testing for bovine respiratory disease and brucellosis. Pasture rotation and low-stress handling are part of their daily routine to promote welfare and sustainable land use.

Calves remain closely bonded with their dams and are gently accustomed to human interaction to support easy herd integration. Their family-run operation traces its roots to early homesteading days, and many graduating animals perform well in both show rings and commercial beef settings. They select breeding stock for docility, efficient weight gain and maternal instincts to match family farm expectations.

Community events such as local livestock fairs feature their cattle, where feedback from peers informs their ongoing breeding goals. Their ranch spans rolling pasture and native grassland, with seasonal streams that help support forage growth and animal hydration.
