HEALTH: Health certificates will be available to go anywhere in the USA. Cattle purchased by Canadian buyers will be cared for until required health tests for export are complete.
TRANSFERS: Please leave your name and address exactly as you wish it to appear. Heifer registration certificates will be provided. Steer certification applications with the breeder’s portion completed will be provided for steers. It will be the buyer’s responsibility to complete the current owner portion of the steer application and apply for the certification, if he/she so desires.
LIABILITY: Each animal will be purchaser’s as soon as sold. They will be taken care of for a reasonable length of time until transportation can be arranged. Any person attending the sale does so at his own risk, and we assume no liability, legal or otherwise, for any accident that may occur.
GUARANTEE: We guarantee the heifers to be breeders, but reserve the right to test any animal that may be returned to us as a non-breeder for 90 days before making an adjustment. Cattle will be returned at buyer’s expense, and if declared as sound breeder by competent veterinarian, cattle will be returned at buyer’s expense. In case an adjustment is required, it will be made with a replacement of equal value of the animal in question or credit on the purchase of another animal. No adjustments on any animal will be made 10 months from date of sale.
DELIVERY: We will assist as much as possible in delivery.
CATTLE: The cattle will be available for viewing starting Friday, November 8, at 12:00PM.

Welcome to the 2024 SD Excellence Sale
We are excited to return to the Dacotah Bank Center for the 2024 Edition of SD Excellence Sale. Breeders are once again bringing from the top of their herds! The heifers will compete in the show ring, but more importantly offer genetic value as an addition to any cow herd. The steers will compete at any level. Once again all lots have been videoed and the sale will be broadcast on The Livestock Link.
We appreciate your interest and look forward to seeing you in Brookings!
