Tour chairperson Kelly Hanson owns and operates Triple H Simmentals with his family near Hannaford, North Dakota. “The All Breeds Cattle Tour helps people see other operations and gives them ideas on how they can improve their own livestock operations.” Triple H Simmentals sells registered cattle in their annual sale along with backgrounding their steers and second string heifer calves. Hanson says their genetic investment paid off on easy fleshing cattle during the drought. “We found out what our cattle could really eat when they were stuck with cattails, CRP hay, and very little silage,” said Hanson. “This year has been a godsend with the amount of forages we have put up. I don’t want to see another year like last year, but it showed that our cattle can perform on poor forages.”
