Spring Valley Ranch is a working cattle and horse ranch that was established in 1971 by Ned and Doris Westphal. It is located in the center of the Black Hills National Forest. More specifically it is 20 miles southwest of Custer, South Dakota or 24 miles northwest of Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Cattle at Spring Valley Ranch
At Spring Valley Ranch, we raise Gelbvieh, Angus, Hereford cross cattle. We have the privilege of having all of our cattle in the Black Hills year around. In the summertime, the majority of our cattle are put out on open range permits. The rest are kept in private pastures. This gives us the opportunity to explore the picturesque and changing trails in the hills year around.
     
Doesn't this pretty little heifer look like she needs to be a Mamma Cow in a couple years? When the sunrise looks like this, it is easy to wake up with apreciation for the day to come!
Horses at Spring Valley Ranch
We raise good working registered quarter horses. Our bloodlines include: Doc Bar, Two Eyed Jack, Leo, Mid American, Sonny Reynolds, Peponita, Poco Bueno, Casa War Bond, Dandy Seeker, Jackstraw (TB), King Jacket and Fakey Dukas. Currently, we have 2 stallions at the ranch. Doc Pep is retired both from work and breeding. However, we ride and breed many of his offspring. Foxy Red Duke is the stallion we currently have for breeding. He and his offspring are great riding horses.
