Our ranch is nestled deep in the mud buttes of Harding County South Dakota, which holds the rugged and deep buffalo jump buttes. Vaccina-
tions and wormer given to cows during weaning. Mycoplasma is given to all calves and heifers are bangs vaccinated. We use all Young Guns
bulls. Our home raised bull was the 2013 bronze winner at the BHBC and was purchased by Heartland Bison Ranch, Now known as Heart Rocker,
he was single sired on 18 mature cows with 17 of those being bred. The 7 bull calves averaged 493 pounds and 10 heifer calves averaged 456
pounds at weaning.
Our animals are caked year round and provided with a custom made buffalo mineral, with some special attention a couple months out of the
year. With good access to high quality pelleted feed we are able to conduct and record certain animal gains on feed and on grass, thus helping
us choose only the top animals from our breeding program.

are pastured on native grasses. 2014 DTBA Rookie of the Year; Gold Place Bull Calf; Silver Place Yearling Heifer. All heifers are mtDNA tested

SBBR has been raising buffalo for 25 years with a heavy commitment to genetic improvement. We currently run over 1000 mother cows in a
holistic grazing manner. With over 30 pastures and extensive water development, the herd is moved every 7 to 10 days to fresh grass and water.
In just a few years of practicing holistic grazing, SBBR has witnessed improved herd health, less fly problems, increased grass production and
plant diversity. SBBR strongly believes in the principles of holistic grazing management from what we have seen with the improvement of the
bottom line and soil and plant health.
We have been a strong supporter and believer in the DTBA since the beginning. We are excited about the future of the Girlz Gone Wild and the
Young Guns Performance tested classes, as they will add tremendous genetic potential to anyone’s herd.
SBBR is very proud to have received the DTBA Producer of the Year two times along with numerous awards over the years. A highlight was
winning both the Young Gun and the Girlz Gone Wild classes last year. SBBR believes we are in unprecedented times because all sectors of the
buffalo industry are profitable.
We hope everyone enjoys the 20th Anniversary of this great association and we will see you at the conference and sale.
