Rausch Herefords

Rausch Herefords, Hereford cattle, Hoven, SD, has served South Dakota and the Great Plains near Pierre for many years. It is an active member of the American Hereford Association and follows recommended genetic and health screening protocols, including annual herd health checks and DNA parentage verification. Its calves graze on open pastures with rotational grazing, access to shelter in all seasons, and daily handling to foster calm temperaments.

Focused on gentle disposition, maternal strength, and robust growth, the stock suits both small family farms and larger ranch operations seeking reliable performance. The farm blends sustainable grazing practices with hands-on socialization so each animal meets routine farm life from birth, including calf training and gentle early exposure to handling. Biosecurity measures include separate calving pastures, regular veterinary visits, and protocols to maintain herd health and welfare year-round. Local ranchers appreciate the consistent conformation, adaptable temperament, and healthy weaning weights that reflect the operation’s commitment to quality breeding standards.
