History of Driscoll Cattle Compay

 Driscoll Cattle Company is steeped with tradition and it is not something we take lightly. In 1957 Warren Hannah, my grandfather purchased his first Charolais bull to breed to his Hereford cows. Never before has there been a cross that provided so much "extra" weight for doing nothing but cross breeding. Warren was sold on the effects of "crossbreeding", a practice that was looked down upon at the time. Warren gradually worked his Charolais herd into one of the most prominent Purebred herds in the nation. In the late '60's there were no other females that were more sought after than the ones with the HCR prefix. One of the first foundation Sires that shows the emphasis on carcass traits in the herd was Sir Tam 605, the very first certified meat sire of any breed in our state and one of the few nationwide. Later came the great herd sire Mr. Hannah 2004, sire of impeccable females and show winning steers across the nation. To complete the trifecta was Facco C09  the first Full French Herdsire in the state of South Dakota. From these genetics came the base of our herd. Every female in the herd goes back to at least one of these legendary bulls.
