Schock Ranch

Schock Ranch, Hereford cattle in Dodge, ND, serves Williams County and the Bakken region near Williston. The ranch has been part of the Hereford community for several generations and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association. All cattle undergo routine herd health checks and genetic screening in line with breed standards.

Animals graze on open pasture with rotational grazing and early handling to encourage calm temperaments and social confidence. The farm’s rolling terrain and well-managed pastures contribute to healthy hoof wear and natural parasite control. Calving season is timed to align with peak grass growth, and calves receive a low-stress weaning approach to ease transition. Several of Schock Ranch’s offspring have placed at regional fairs, reflecting sound structure and consistent performance across the herd. Daily routines are overseen by a small team committed to transparent year-round care and selective breeding goals.
