Hansmeier & Son Inc

Hansmeier & Son Inc is a Hereford cattle breeder in Bristol, SD, serving Day County and the James River Valley near Watertown. They hold American Hereford Association registrations for their herd and follow recommended genetic testing protocols to support calving ease and structural soundness. Calves are raised on rotational pasture with attentive handling from birth, ensuring early socialization and a calm disposition among mature animals. The family-run operation emphasizes sustainable grazing practices that promote pasture health and biodiversity.

Several herd members have placed at regional livestock shows for conformation and breed characteristics. Nutrition plans are tailored with a mix of high-quality forage and supplemental grains to support health without overconditioning, and routine hoof trimming and annual vaccinations help maintain robust herd health. They collaborate with a local mixed-animal clinic for regular herd health reviews and emergency care, ensuring support for herd welfare through all life stages. Clients frequently praise the consistent breeding records and steady temperaments of their stock.
