De Smet, South Dakota cattle producer and attorney Todd Wilkinson headlined the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association education series at their annual convention. Wilkinson says there are a lot of little things than can be done to protect a producer’s investment. “We have thousands of dollars invested in animals. Get a contract if you’re placing cattle into a feed yard or anything you’re involved in,” says Wilkinson. “Talk to your lender about where you’re going to place your cattle and then talk to that operation. Make sure they’re familiar with the requirements.” Wilkinson says avoiding misunderstandings will go a long way. “When times get tough, we need to make sure everyone is on the same page.”
