Dale Chinn

Dale Chinn raises Hereford cattle in Grassy Butte, ND, serving McKenzie County and the Badlands near Dickinson. Dale Chinn has been breeding Hereford cattle for more than ten years and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association with routine health screenings.

The herd grazes year-round on native prairie grass, with calves introduced to handling and supplemental feeding to promote steady growth and calm disposition. Their focus on structural soundness and gentle temperament has resulted in several placements at regional livestock shows. Past customers note the consistency of coat quality and easy adaptation to different grazing conditions.

Calves are weaned and vaccinated under veterinary guidance, reflecting a simple, hands-on approach to cattle management. Winter feeding relies on hay harvested from the ranch’s own fields, complemented by mineral supplements to support energy needs. Bulls and replacement heifers are evaluated for structural soundness and offered to local ranchers seeking to improve herd performance.
