Knippling Bros

Knippling Bros, Hereford cattle, Gann Valley, South Dakota, are stewards of a foundation herd in Buffalo County near Pierre. They have been breeding quality stock for more than twenty years and hold active membership with the American Hereford Association, ensuring routine genetic evaluations and comprehensive health testing. On their gently rolling pastures, cattle follow a rotational grazing plan and benefit from sheltered loafing areas, receiving daily interaction that fosters a calm, confident disposition.

Calves born each spring are introduced to early handling routines before weaning to support solid temperaments and smooth transitions to feeder or seedstock operations. A recent neighbor review noted the herd’s reliable growth rates and maternal strength, highlighting Knippling Bros’ consistency in delivering brood cows adapted to local climates. Their balanced emphasis on structural soundness and feed efficiency reflects a generational commitment to practical genetics, with cattle that suit both commercial ranches and small-scale agricultural settings.
