Shane C Giedd

Shane C Giedd raises Hereford cattle in Washburn, ND, situated in McLean County and the Missouri River region near Bismarck. They register with the American Hereford Association and follow recommended health testing for calving ease, disease prevention, and long-term traceability.

The herd grazes on managed pastures with supplemental hay from nearby farms, and calves grow up socialized among family members and other livestock. Daily health checks and seasonal vaccinations are integral to the operation’s approach to animal welfare. Herd sires are evaluated annually for structural soundness and feed efficiency.

Cattle from this program have earned ribbons at regional fairs and have been noted for their calm disposition and strong maternal traits. Feedlot performance records help track growth rates and carcass quality to guide breeding decisions. The farm’s quiet setting and consistent breeding practices support a reputation for reliable performance cattle.
