Duerre Farms

Duerre Farms’ Chianina cattle in Bristol, South Dakota, thrive in Marshall County and the lake region near Watertown. They have been breeding Chianina for several years and adhere to standards set by the American Chianina Association, with regular health checks by a local veterinarian. Their herd grazes on open pastures with access to shelter, and calves are gently socialized to encourage calm temperaments. The farm employs rotational grazing and sustainable pasture management to support soil health and animal welfare.

As a family operation, they emphasize structural soundness and balanced muscling favored by both commercial and show producers. Recent buyers often remarked on the calves’ even growth and gentle dispositions. Nathan and Thad bring a hands-on approach to daily care on the homestead, blending farm tradition with practical improvements. All animals receive regular hoof trimming and are vaccinated according to university extension guidelines.
