The map around South Dakota
The map opens wide enough to hold South Dakota and the nearest registered ranches to it, so you can see the distance rather than take our word for it. Select any marker to read that ranch.
Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, or select a state. With the map focused, the arrow keys pan and the plus and minus keys zoom. Every state outline and every ranch marker is reachable by keyboard, and every ranch on the map is also in the list below, so no producer is reachable only through the map. A member's marker is that ranch's membership badge, drawn larger at the higher levels. A free Registered Producer is a black dot on its own state, and an unclaimed Unregistered Producer record is a gray dot, which opens an invitation to the owner to claim the profile rather than a page.

Unregistered producers in South Dakota.
4 more South Dakota operations are in the system at the free level. An Unregistered Producer record is a name, a town and a state, and nobody at the ranch has claimed it yet. It carries a gray marker on the map, but no badge, no contact details and no page, and it is not a verification of the operation. If one of these is your ranch, claim it and it becomes a free Registered Producer.

Unregistered Producer records were compiled from public producer directories: the ranch name, its town and its state, and nothing else. No contact details are published, and a record that nobody has claimed has no page of its own. It is a record that the operation exists and sells beef, not a verification of it, and it carries no badge: on the map it is a gray dot. If this is your ranch, you can claim it free and become a Registered Producer, take a membership, or ask us to remove it.
What you can do right now.
Three routes, and not one of them waits for a ranch to open in South Dakota.
- Order from a ranch that ships. 5 registered ranches publish that they ship beyond their own state, so they can get beef to South Dakota. They are marked in the list below with the distance from here.
- Ask the ranches that do not say. Three of the thirteen publish no shipping policy either way. We are not going to guess one on their behalf, so the National Shipping page sets out exactly what each ranch does say, and the ranch answers the rest.
- Point a South Dakota rancher at this page. The South Dakota registry is open, registering is free, and the fastest way to get a producer on this map is a rancher who hears about it from a customer.

Measured from the center of South Dakota to each ranch's town. Straight line distance, so treat it as a guide rather than a drive time.

How to judge a beef producer in South Dakota while we build coverage.
General guidance rather than anything specific to South Dakota, and it holds for any rancher anywhere. Five questions, and the reason each one matters.
Ask whether the animals were born on the place
A ranch that runs its own cow-calf herd knows the whole life of the animal. An operation that buys in cattle to finish does not, and there is nothing wrong with saying so. The answer tells you how much of the story the seller can actually vouch for.
Ask where the processing happens, and under whose inspection
USDA inspected product can be sold across state lines and by the cut. State inspected product usually cannot leave the state. That single fact explains most of what a small ranch can and cannot sell you, and it is a fair question to ask before you order.
Ask what the finishing ration is
Grass finished, grain finished and grass raised then grain finished are three different products that cook differently and taste different. None of them is a trick. You just want to know which one you are buying, because grass finished beef needs lower heat and less time.
Ask for the hanging weight and the cut sheet before you commit to a share
A share is priced on hanging weight, and what you carry home is less than that. Ask what the last few animals hung at, and ask to see the cut sheet you will be asked to fill in. A first time share buyer who has not seen a cut sheet usually regrets a choice or two.
Know what a grocery label does and does not tell you
For years, Product of USA could appear on beef from cattle raised abroad if the meat was merely processed here. The standard has since been tightened. That history is exactly why buying from a ranch you can name beats reading a package.
