Michael Petersen Trucking

Michael Petersen Trucking provides livestock transport services out of Ridgeview, South Dakota, serving the broader western South Dakota region near Rapid City. Michael Petersen and his team haul horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs for producers who need reliable moves between farms, sale barns, and processing facilities.

The company holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier. Beyond that, day-to-day work centers on practical logistics: coordinating pickup windows around chute schedules, loading calm and quiet for skittish sheep or goats, and keeping mixed loads of poultry and larger animals separated and comfortable for the drive.

Ranchers moving cattle to auction, breeders relocating horses, or small farms shifting hogs and chickens between properties can find this kind of hauling useful. Petersen's routes cover both short hops within the region and longer runs for producers needing dependable, straightforward transport across South Dakota's rural corridors.
