S-Bar Ranch

S-Bar Ranch raises registered Chianina cattle at its family-run farm in Faulkton, South Dakota, in the central plains near Aberdeen. Founded by Justin Schilder who has bred cattle for over a decade, it holds registrations with national breed associations and follows established health-testing protocols, including annual screenings for genetic disorders and fertility assessments.

Calves are raised on pasture with access to clean water, shelter, and daily handling that encourages calm temperaments and easy transitions to new homes. Several of its animals have placed in regional livestock shows, reflecting a focus on structural soundness and balanced growth. The ranch’s location on native grasses supports natural forage diets year-round.

Regular veterinary oversight ensures early detection of common issues such as parasites or hoof concerns. Health guarantees accompany each sale, reflecting confidence in its breeding program. Transportation is arranged to minimize stress and follow industry best practices.
