Craig Covey

Craig Covey, Hereford cattle breeder in Hamill, SD, serves Lyman County and central South Dakota near Pierre. Craig Covey has been raising Hereford cattle for many years and follows American Hereford Association standards, including routine health testing and traceable pedigree records. The cattle graze on native grass pastures with access to sheltered barns, and calves receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments. A modest herd size allows individual attention to each animal and supports rotational grazing practices that promote soil health.

Their bloodlines trace back to foundation stock known for sound structure, maternal traits and longevity valued by commercial operations. Visitors are welcome by appointment to tour the farm, review facilities and discuss breeding goals in a relaxed setting. Local producers note consistent weaning weights and gentle dispositions in calves raised under these conditions. The farm’s commitment to sustainable practices has earned positive recognition in regional agricultural circles.
