Hello Everyone! Thank you for viewing our site. Please bear with me as I am finally updating it. I appologize for taking so long to get it done. I have many new pictures to add and will try to get some more. Tina




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.
     
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 3 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 are breeding with this year. He, too, is a great riding horses. Last but not least, our youngest and upcoming stallion is Peps War Leo. Unfortunately, he is unavailable for breeding at this time as he has just undergone a major surgery. This spring however, we were getting quite a number of rides on him, and liking him more with each one.
