At the Sleep Ranch, we are thinking about our customers long before the calf is even born. We select breeding stock that excel in leanness, yet are well marbled and tender to provide an enjoyable eating experience. Through artificial insemination and natural service, we breed to some of the best bulls in the country. We recently started DNA testing our replacement heifers so we can more accurately select cattle that carry traits that meet our goals.

Our family is committed to providing quality care, taking that job very seriously. Our ranch is located in the foothills of the Black Hills, and cattle are summered in the high valleys of the national forest. The fresh mountain water and abundant forage create the optimum conditions to raise cattle. After weaning, the cattle are grown on a combination of grass, hay, and grain until they reach market weight.  

Customers have the option to buy either a whole beef or a half beef. We process our beef only a few times a year and require an advance order. Please refer to the information below to understand the ordering and payment process.

In the summer, we do market a limited amount of individually wrapped steaks, roasts, and ground beef through the store at Iron Creek Lake
