Eichler Farms

Eichler Farms raises Hereford cattle in Columbia, SD, serving Brown County and the prairie plains near Aberdeen. It has been breeding cattle for more than a decade and maintains detailed performance records, working with breed associations to register calves and monitor herd health.

All breeding stock undergoes regular health screenings, vaccination schedules and nutritional evaluations to support resilience and longevity. Its cattle graze on rotational pasture during the growing season and have access to sheltered paddocks with fresh water year-round. Calving pens are cleaned and inspected daily, with each newborn calf receiving individualized care and early handling to foster calm behavior.

Buyers often note the calves’ steady weight gains on grass-fed rations and their even temperaments at weaning. This family-run operation emphasizes hands-on management, sustainable grazing methods and transparency in sourcing each animal’s lineage. Eichler Farms regularly hosts small farm tours and educational sessions for local schools to share best practices in cattle husbandry.
