We’re Selling Our Steers!

-Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.
I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.

    I have always felt bad for cattlemen who have short-tailed and boob-eared cattle cut out at the sale barn. That said, when I buy steers to fatten for the butcher market, I look for those very ones to buy. As I say to people, I don't eat that part anyway.

    Depending what region of the country you're in . In the south you'll get lots of eared cattle ( Brahma ) influenced. A good part of a sale last week had many tiger striped cattle Bradford's, Brangus . As well as some stockyards dock you if you're cattle aren't all black . Had a mix of Balancer steers and Braunvieh/Herefords and took a small payout for the off color ones.
