Dandy Acres Enterprises

Dandy Acres Enterprises, a family-run operation, breeds Hereford cattle in Pipestone, MN, in southwestern Minnesota near Sioux Falls. It follows American Hereford Association guidelines, maintains herd records, and performs regular genetic evaluations along with health screenings to maintain sound bloodlines. The herd grazes on over 300 acres of rolling pastures with daily handling to encourage gentle dispositions, and calves are born and raised on the property under attentive supervision from birth.

Veterinarians visit the farm regularly to oversee preventive care protocols, vaccination schedules, and balanced nutrition planning. Rotational grazing combined with periodic soil testing supports pasture vitality and reduces environmental impact. This blend of traditional stewardship and modern husbandry practices fosters both animal well-being and sustainable land use. Local ranchers appreciate the consistent quality and calm temperament of their cattle. Manure composting enriches the soil, closing the nutrient loop within their sustainable system.
