The Timmerman Land & Cattle LLC is a third generation ranching operation that can be traced back to 1945. Leo Timmerman founded Timmerman & Sons Feeding Company who started the family tradition. Beginning in the early 1960s Leo's sons, Gerald, James, Norman and Ronnie, had plans to expand into ranching. In the mid-1970s the sons purchased their first ranch in the South Dakota Sandhills and grew their ranching business into five states and are still going strong today.

The Timmerman family implements the protection of land, water and wildlife, which will ensure conservation for future generations. With this philosophy on protecting the environment, it makes our ranches an ideal place to hunt for world class wild game.

The Batesland Ranch spans across 10,000 acres of beautiful pasture land in the South Dakota Sandhills between the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservation. With a year-round creek running right through the property and a lake on one end, a diverse selection of species tends to graze the land. Whitetail enjoy spending their time around the northern pivot that we put up as hay, meanwhile mule deer stick to the southern end of the ranch. The remote land attracts a plethora of turkey and pheasant as well.

The ranch offers a 4-day hunt for 4 sportsmen during opening weekend of mule deer and whitetail season, semi-guided and lodging (all amenities) for a flat rate of $15,000.

We are able to provide lodging on the ranch for a total of five sportsmen. The arrangement includes two bunk beds and a sofa. Also, for your viewing pleasure, we have a Historical Western and Native American museum on the ranch.

We look forward to having your hunting party at our ranch!

Sincerely,
The Timmerman Family
