Frederickson Ranch

Frederickson Ranch, Herefords, Spearfish, SD, in the Black Hills region near Rapid City, raises beef cattle on rolling grassland. The ranch has more than 25 years of experience and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association, with routine health screenings and genetic evaluations.

Calves are handled daily for early socialization, and breeding stock grazes on rotational pastures with shelter provided in all seasons. Established on family land in the early 1900s, the operation emphasizes hardy genetics and calm temperaments. Local extension agents note steady weight gains and well-marbled cuts, reflecting consistent herd management. Feeding is based on pasture forage supplemented with locally sourced hay and mineral blends to support reproductive health. Several bulls from the herd have placed in state fair competitions for structural soundness. Veterinary care is scheduled with a regional large-animal clinic, and detailed records are maintained for traceability.
