Jeff Mcareavey

Jeff Mcareavey raises Hereford cattle in Crooks, SD, in Minnehaha County and the Sioux Falls area. He has been breeding registered Hereford cattle for several years, and its herd is enrolled with the American Hereford Association.

All animals undergo routine health screenings and genetic testing for calving ease. Calves are raised on open pasture with rotational grazing, and they receive daily socialization from staff to encourage calm temperament. The farm’s focus on balanced conformation and gentle disposition reflects a preference for versatile livestock suited to both commercial herds and family operations.

Jeff Mcareavey draws on family farming traditions and a commitment to transparent breeding records to maintain consistent quality across each calf crop. Winter housing is arranged in well-ventilated barns with ample bedding to support herd health through colder months. Feed rations combine locally sourced hay and balanced grain supplements tailored to each animal’s stage of growth.
