Elgin "Dan" Hines

Elgin "Dan" Hines provides cattle reproduction services in Martin, South Dakota, serving ranches throughout the region near Rapid City. His work centers on ultrasound technology, giving producers a clear window into herd fertility and pregnancy status without guesswork.

Hines uses Exago ultrasound equipment to evaluate reproductive stages in cattle, a tool that helps ranchers make informed breeding and culling decisions. This kind of imaging work supports tighter calving windows and better herd management, which matters in the wide-open cattle country of southwestern South Dakota.

For ranchers managing commercial or seedstock herds, having access to accurate ultrasound data can shape decisions around nutrition, breeding timelines, and overall herd productivity. Hines operates out of Martin, putting his services within reach of producers across Bennett County and neighboring areas who rely on precise reproductive information to keep their operations running efficiently through each breeding season.
