Section 16 Cattle Company

Section 16 Cattle Company is a Hereford cattle breeder in Canton, SD, in Southeast South Dakota near Sioux Falls. With more than a decade of experience, the operation follows American Hereford Association guidelines and performs routine herd health testing for genetic conditions. Its cattle graze rotationally on fenced pastures and calves are handled gently from birth to foster calm, well-adjusted animals.

Husbandry takes place in a barn equipped for shelter during harsh winter or summer weather and includes daily feedings balanced for nutritional needs. The owners on-site live among the herd, encourage early socialization of calves, and work to maintain grassland diversity for sustainable land stewardship. Relationships with neighboring farms contribute to shared best practices and occasional county fair exhibits keep the breeding goals community-driven. Several of its cows trace back to bloodlines known for docility and marbling, traits valued by local beef cooperatives. Reviews highlight consistent temperament and sound structure as hallmarks of its stock.
