Maesa Dvorak

Maesa Dvorak breeds registered Hereford cattle in Lake Andes, SD in the southeastern South Dakota plains near Sioux Falls. Operating for over a decade as a family-run operation, the farm has gradually enhanced herd quality through selective breeding and consistent pasture care. The operation participates in national cattle associations and performs routine health screenings to ensure sound genetics and herd health.

Animals graze on lush managed grass pastures with seasonal rotation and have access to sheltered loafing areas during winter months. Calves are socialized early with handlers to promote gentle temperaments and ease of handling.

All cattle receive year-round mineral supplementation and access to fresh, clean water from on-site spring-fed wells. Detailed breeding records help maintain balanced selection for maternal traits and market readiness. Maesa Dvorak’s herd has earned recognition for consistent calving intervals and placid behavior under low-stress handling techniques.
