About
Aberle Acres Ranch 
Greetings! From the wide open spaces of Central South
Dakota. Welcome to our ranch. Our Family has been in the
farming and ranching business in this area since the early
1900s when it was opened for Homesteading.
My name is Diana Aberle, with my husband Tom and our 3
sons, Terrance, 22, Christopher, 20 and Grant, 15, We
run a 600 head Red Angus cow/calf pair ranch and 25
head of Registered Quarter horse mares on 9000 acres of
rolling prairies.
Over the years, we have not only raised Quarter Horses
and Red Angus cattle, but have been in the Dairy business,
had pigs, chickens and even a few sheep. Now as our
family moves towards the future and the next generation
we have finally settled in with the commercial red Angus
cattle and Registered Quarter Horses.
My passion and dream growing up was to have my very own mares and to breed an
exceptional group of weanlings. In 1998, after 14 years of marriage and milking
cows, we sold the Holsteins to make room for some mares. We have always had QH’s
on the ranch but never any Brood mares so that fall we purchased our first mare. 
Since
then we have acquired or raised 25 brood mares (my husband and kids think that
is too many). This year
is our 9th crop of weanlings but our first crop out of
the 2 new studs that we purchased last year. After
a lot of discussion and planning for the future on where
to go with our breeding program, we decided to purchase
these studs to add a little cutting and roping blood into
our herd.
With this years crop of babies up and running,
I can say without hesitation that they are most impressive. |
