M Lazy T Ranch

M Lazy T Ranch breeds Hereford cattle in Onida, SD, located in Sully County and central South Dakota near Pierre. The ranch has been raising Hereford cattle for over a decade, holds membership in national cattle associations and follows recommended protocols for genetic and health screening such as bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s testing. Animals graze on open pasture with access to clean water sources and shelter, and they receive daily handling to build calm temperaments from an early age. Calving takes place in on-site barns equipped for close monitoring during spring.

Family-owned operation emphasizes low-stress handling, rotational grazing and soil-friendly practices to support animal welfare and land health. Periodic participation in regional livestock fairs has earned recognition for adherence to breed standards and overall herd consistency. Facilities include weather-proof shelters, shade structures and comprehensive vaccination protocols tailored to seasonal needs. The ranch’s hands-on philosophy reflects a commitment to sustainable cattle management and quality herd genetics.
