I live on a ranch in Western South Dakota. We raise cattle and sheep. Our cattle are Red Angus and our sheep are Ramboullet (big horns).We plant some small grains, oats, sorghum and millet mostley for livestock feed. We also put up alfalfa and grass hay in the summer. We are joined by our son and his family three children. My wife Tammy is involved in many projects both locally and nationally.

Fall work.
Been working hard. Got all the haystacks finally moved. The New Holland tractor had to spend two weeks in town at the shop. Had to use the smaller slower Case/IH tractor , but got done. The bred heifers have been sorted and the ones for sale have been hauled to the sale barn for tomorrows sale in Philip. The weather has gotten colder so we have started supplementing the ewes with corn. The coop can't get a load of cake to us till Nov. 15, may start feeding hay to flush the ewes. Will be turning the bucks out later in the month. Got the north side of the house shingled this week. Ryan did most of the work.
