Edelman Ranch

Edelman Ranch is a Limousin cattle farm in Willow Lake, SD, within Clark County and the Glacial Lakes near Watertown. It follows guidelines from the American Limousin Association and routinely health-tests its herd, laying the groundwork for sound genetics.

Its cattle graze on rotational pastures, sheltering in spacious barns during calving, and receive daily hands-on care rooted in low-stress handling. Drew Edelman emphasizes early socialization of calves to support calm temperaments that adapt well to both family farms and feeder operations. Clean well water and a diverse mix of native grasses sustain the herd through seasonal changes and support steady growth.

The ranch draws on a family tradition of livestock stewardship, adapting techniques passed down across generations to meet modern ranching needs. Local veterinarians and feed suppliers collaborate with the ranch to maintain a consistent focus on animal welfare and beef quality.
