Hey there!
Growing up on a family farm in central South Dakota, my brother, sister and I helped take care of the livestock and lent our services in the field. I’m proud to say that my dad and mom are still working the land his grandparents homesteaded. After I found the perfect cowboy, I didn’t bat an eye when he proposed marriage and a move back to his family ranch 100 miles north.
My high school sweetheart and I are blessed to give our three children the same opportunity – working side by side with their parents, siblings, and grandparents on the family ranch. We are raising the sixth generation on this land the same way both of us were – teaching them the value of a hard day’s work and the rewards that come along with it. All while working beside family.
