Jaci Delaney

Jaci Delaney raises Hereford cattle in Lake Benton, MN, Southwest Minnesota near Sioux Falls. With a commitment to genetic soundness and herd health, Delaney participates in the American Hereford Association’s registry and adheres to recommended health testing for fertility, hoof care, and disease screening.

The herd grazes on gently rolling pastures through a rotational system that supports soil health and provides calves with access to fresh forage under close daily supervision. Animals are handled with consistent low-stress methods from birth, including early socialization with handlers and a focus on natural behaviors to promote curiosity and calm temperament. The family-run farm has been cultivating quality Hereford stock for several years, grounding its approach in practical experience passed down through generations. Visitors note the cattle’s even-tempered nature during farm tours, and local chefs appreciate the reliable quality of grass-finished beef from their operations.
