Seal Livestock

Seal Livestock is a breeder of miniature Hereford cattle in Aberdeen, SD, serving Brown County and the plains region near Sioux Falls. Established in 2010, it is an active member of the American Hereford Association and screens every calf for genetic health before introduction to the herd. Calves graze on managed pasture with regular hoof care and daily handling to foster calm temperaments. The farm traces its roots to a small dairy operation started by the Erickson family over fifty years ago.

Visitors often comment on the friendly nature of the cattle and the thoughtful design of the grazing paddocks. Breeding decisions focus on structural soundness and maternal traits that support low stress calving and steady weight gain. Annual on site visits allow prospective owners to see young heifers at weaning and observe the herd in open pasture. Pasture rotation with locally grown grasses helps maintain soil health and ensures balanced nutrition throughout the seasons.
