Welcome to Lindskov-Thiel Ranch

We are glad you stopped by for a visit. Located on the high plains of western South Dakota, our ranch is at Isabel, about 60 miles west of the Missouri River. The purebred herd, including 300 Charolais and 250 Angus females, runs on native, shortgrass pastures where the annual rainfall is 16 inches per year and 20 to 25 acres are needed to run a cow.

Our long-term focus is on customers, cattle and land. We have great respect for our #1 customer, the commercial calf producers. They raise a superior product that will generate tons of high-quality beef, doing it mostly on land not suited to other food production. With all cattle genetic decisions and uncompromised customer service, we strive to add value and profit to the commercial rancher, while keeping an eye on the needs of the feeder, packer and consumer down the line. Lastly we view our land as a gift to steward. Aiming to leave it better than when we got here, we plant countless trees, employ good water management and maintain conservative grazing rates on both the native and seeded pasturelands.
