Lacey Caffee

Lacey Caffee, Chianina cattle breeder, Wessington Springs, SD, is based in central South Dakota near Pierre. Caffee has been raising Chianina cattle for several years and maintains active membership in the American Chianina Association, with routine health screenings for genetic and metabolic traits. The herd grazes on rotational pastureland that promotes natural foraging, complemented by timbered paddocks and regular handling to foster gentle dispositions.

This family-run farm operates a small herd that allows individual attention to each cow and calf, ensuring gentle handling and steady growth. Calving ease is prioritized through careful breed selection, and winter feeding relies on hay harvested on site. Lacey Caffee shares detailed records of herd management practices and health histories with interested parties. Several cattle have placed at state agriculture fairs, demonstrating consistent conformation and calm temperament. Ongoing partnerships with local extension services inform sustainable breeding and grazing decisions.
