Matt & Stephanie Cavenee

Matt & Stephanie Cavenee, Shorthorn cattle breeders in Miller, SD, serve Hand County and the Pierre area. They have been caring for Shorthorn bloodlines for over a decade, holding membership in the American Shorthorn Association and following recommended health testing protocols.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive routine veterinary check-ups, with calves born and raised on the family’s working ranch. Calves undergo regular weigh-ins and testing for bovine viral diarrhea and leukosis to ensure herd health. Emphasis on early socialization and a stress-free environment helps ensure steady growth and temperament suited to both beef and breeding herds.

The farm traces its roots back two generations, and their herd has produced animals featured at regional livestock shows. Local customers note reliable communication and transparent breeding records from Cavenee’s hands-on approach. They welcome scheduled visits to observe grazing practices and review performance data in person.
