-Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.
I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.
To God be the Glory

    so raising cows is not simply watching them grow from your front porch, sending them to market, and collecting a fat check?... Lol.. some of my city family think that's the case with our herd ... Which I do not fault them in that and they are good city folk ... but I'm gonna send this video link to them .. I think it helps put into some perspective how much goes into that meatloaf they enjoy... Peace and keep them coming.. I'm still learning and your sure helping that process...

    Boy there was a blast from the past. Haven't heard the name Jorgensen in 40 some years. We bought some genetics from them. That said if i was in your shoe's, and the market paying a premium for Waygu, i would starting introducing Wagyu genetics into my herd. American Waygu is a cross of American Angus and Waygu. I'm glad Jorgensen are still in the registered Angus business.

    Jorgenson has so much knowledge on cattle. They have proven to be great breeders and know what phenotypes are heritable traits and how to cross bred them in traits for the best progeny results. And when i say cross breed i mean angus on angus, their are pretty much 5 angus breeds in the us and they bred them on top of one another based on genomic merits with great progeny.

    I did cattle judging in High school and college and I do not think I would want to try it now. Forgot most of what I learned. I did understand the gentleman, I went with my father to a few one day classes held by the AI breeders Dad used even after I had left the farm for a job that paid better. Probably not to many in your area but the dairy side of Select Sires (and others) artificial Insemination used to do day long classes on genetics and selecting bulls as free classes. Excellent information to learn and the more you can expose yourself to the information the more you learn. Hope you and family all stay safe and healthy. Almost 28K congratulations.

It is interesting to hear how things getting more advanced… I also like the idea of leasing bulls… if something happens to the bull like he didn’t perform or maybe got sick they would come and get him and replace him…. I liked seeing the picture on the advertisement….. that bull was gorgeous…. But all in all… I think pictures with data would be better…..😊

    Hi Carson, interesting video about the genetics you look at when choosing which Bulls are best for your needs. It is amazing how much data they have and the programs they use to sort all of the information. The Bulls you are looking at here are ones that you will use for Artificial insemination and the rest will be bred by your Bulls?
