Our herd dates back to 1942 when Aaron’s grandfather, Ernest
Strommen, bought his first registered Angus female. His herd
consisted of moderate-framed, highly-fertile, low-input cattle that
calved with little assistance and produced good milk in a grass-
based environment.
In March, we will calve 280 head, including 120 commercial females
used in our embryo transplant program. Our Angus females have
been selected for their fleshing ability on native range, fertility,
longevity and sound udder and leg structure. Our cattle must sur-
vive – and thrive – in a low-input, grass-based environment of the
Northern Plains.
We have no feed base and choose to not put up feed.
Every acre of this ranch is grazed and we purchase all
of the supplemental feed we need to get through
a typical North Dakota winter. We don’t use corn
silage or liquid supplements.
This situation has quickly taught us the value of managing our
natural resources so that our cattle can graze quality, unharvested
forages well into the winter. It has reinforced the value we place
on cattle that successfully convert grass and forage into pounds
of beef.
We invite you to join us for our Angus Bull Sale, Feb. 25, 2017,
starting at 3 p.m. at the ranch, Fort Rice, ND. The bulls will be on
display and are available for viewing at the ranch anytime.
Visitors are always welcome! Videos and catalog will be posted online.
