We are proud members of the ND Red Angus Association. In 2024, the ND Red Angus Association celebrated its 60th Anniversary as an Association. We have been members for over 30 years and have each held various positions within the organization over those years. In 2024, we were honored to put together a video that helps tell the history of Red Angus and the breed in North Dakota. The photos that you see here only tell a part of the video production process. A huge THANK YOU goes out to all the people who stepped up to help make this video. It will be available for viewing to the public in the fall of 2025.
