Kafka Cattle Company

Kafka Cattle Company shorthorn cattle are raised in Parkston, South Dakota in eastern South Dakota near Sioux Falls. Adam D Kafka has led the operation for over a decade, participating in the American Shorthorn Association with routine herd health testing and registration of breeding stock. Animals graze on rotational pastures with mineral supplementation and have daily handling during calving and weaning to promote calm temperaments.

The farm’s focus on balanced genetics supports moderate frame sizes and maternal traits suited for both grass-fed and conventional operations. Calves are raised in family-friendly herd groups that encourage early socialization while relying on region-grown hay and forages over the winter months. The operation manages modest herd sizes for close oversight on each animal’s well-being. Whether selecting a foundation breeder for a small ranch or sourcing sturdy females for herd expansion, buyers note the consistent foot structure and balanced disposition.
