Travis Bell of Edgewood Ranch was featured in the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association virtual feedlot tour. The Fordville, North Dakota rancher says weather can be a challenge, but there are also advantages to feeding cattle in North Dakota. “Being near the Red River Valley, we have an abundance of feed sources. Even with our winter climate, we get great gains on our cattle.” Edgewood Ranch has traditionally been a commercial Angus operation, but has been transitioning to more Simmental cattle. Bell said good cattle always sell. “I do believe in the feedlot side of things, we’re getting cattle too small again,” said Bell. “The frame score has to come back a little bit again. You have to have pounds to sell.” NDSA hosted the virtual feedlot tour and it was facilitated by the Red River Farm Network. A recording of the webinar and video from Edgewood Ranch are available.
