Jamie Begalka

Jamie Begalka is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Castlewood, SD, serving eastern South Dakota near Sioux Falls. The operation maintains herd records with the national breed association and follows recommended annual health screenings including regular veterinary checkups and genetic testing. The cattle graze on rotational pastures and calves are gently socialized from day one to build calm temperaments. This hands-on approach supports animals that are well suited for both family farms and youth livestock programs.

Several young cattle from the herd have earned ribbons at local county fairs for structure and temperament. The breeder focuses on balanced conformation and maternal traits to ensure longevity in breeding herds. Breeding stock is raised on a family-run homestead where pasture quality and nutritional balance are monitored seasonally. Commitment to sustainable practices and a genuine passion for livestock comes through in every animal leaving the farm.
