About DLCC
The DLCC Ranch is located near Pierz, Minnesota, and has been owned and operated since 1980 by Dar and Lynn Giess, with their grown children - Lane, Kate, and Leah. Along with many beloved corgis.
Profit centers in the beef industry can manifest themselves in different ways, but one true avenue of profitability is indisputable; responsible crossbreeding.
The DLCC MISSION
Dar & Lynn Giess, summer of 2016
We believe in crossbreeding and the effects it brings our customers. South Devon cattle provide flexibility along with many desired economically relevant traits:
Outcross English Genetics
Feed Efficient Hybrids
Black-hided Bulls with Heavy Muscling
Red Bulls with a Balanced Genetic Profile
Learn more about our annual spring production on our sale day information page.
“The bulls I purchased from DLCC last year have adapted to our rugged and arid terrain amazingly well! Their gentle nature is also very good for our cattle as most of our cow herd has a bit of ear. Our concerns have been laid to rest as the bulls appear to be as tough and ready for work as possible.”
