We are Shawn and Ellen Tobin. Our little corner of the world is in the Wessington Hills of Jerauld County at Wessington Springs, South Dakota.
We started Tobin Longhorn Cattle Company in 2020 with the purchase of three heifers, one cow with calf at side, and a bull. With each passing year, we are continuing to grow. We have recently started taking genetic samples from the herd, and combining that with weights and measurements of each animal. Our goal is to produce animals that put the pounds on easily, that are feed efficient, with a tenderness to rival any breed of cattle, while not losing the characteristics of the Texas Longhorn that has made itself such a unique breed.
When we aren't working cattle or putting in fence, Ellen manages a convenience store here in town. Shawn works as an independent owner-operator in the trucking industry, and is also a dealer for W-W Livestock Systems (livestock handling equipment), Prairie Phoenix Cattle Care (fly and lice management), and S3 Delta Harrows (pasture, field, yard, and arena maintenance).
We hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about us. If there is anything from our stock that trips your trigger or floats your boat, let's chat. Shawn's cell number is 605-545-2897, or email at
