Jason & Ashlee Jensen

Jason & Ashlee Jensen are Chianina breeders in Ree Heights, SD, Jerauld County and the James River Valley near Huron. Operating from a family farm established in the 1930s, they blend modern breeding standards with time-honored practices. They follow recommended health screening protocols and maintain registrations with national cattle associations to uphold breed standards.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling from an early age, fostering steady temperaments suited for varied ranching needs. The couple applies a low-stress management approach, ensuring calves benefit from both maternal bonding and early social exposure. Neighbors note the herd’s consistent structure, balanced weight gains and gentle disposition, reflecting the farm’s commitment to practical husbandry and long-term genetic planning. Regular participation at regional fairs has earned recognition for structure and muscle development without sacrificing temperament. Prospective ranchers appreciate the Jensen herd’s adaptability across pasture-based and feedlot systems.
