The Foundation of Every Great Herd
At Wienk Charolais Ranch, herd sires aren’t just bulls — they’re the cornerstone of our South Dakota Charolais breeding program. Each sire in our lineup has been carefully selected for his superior genetics, proven performance, and ability to produce calves that excel in both the pasture and the sale ring.
Our herd sires carry forward the qualities we’ve built our reputation on for generations. Many go on to become leaders in the breed, producing bulls and females that strengthen herds across the country.
