Springwater Polled Herefords is a family run business that has
been raising quality Hereford cattle for the past 36 years.
Our parents Ron and Dorothy Williamson received their first
Polled Hereford cow, Queen Jane, as a wedding present from Ron's
parents Perry and Shirley. Years
later in 1990 Springwater Polled Herefords was established.
Ron purchased his first bulls and cows from various
producers in Minnesota and South Dakota.
Ron passed away prematurely in 2004 and so today
Springwater Polled Herefords is owned and operated by his sons
Chad and Troy Williamson.
Also, Travis, his youngest son still enjoys showing at Junior
shows.
Springwater Polled Herefords currently consists of 80 registered
Hereford cows where Artificial Insemination and Embryo
Transfer is used, along with using high quality clean up bulls to
constantly improve our overall herd quality to meet the demands of
the area producers. Replacement
females and herd sires are selected using Total Performance Data
and Ultrasound Data in addition to the overall phenotypic
qualities our farm is dedicated to achieving.
Our cattle are marketed at the Sioux Empire Farm Show,
Watertown Winter Farm Show, Gopher the Purple Sale, SD Excellence
Sale and at the MN
Beef Expo along with private treaty on our farm.
