The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association’s (NDSA) annual Spring Roundup is in full swing, offering ranchers across the state the opportunity to speak with leadership and stay up to date on the latest information. “We hit each district with a spring roundup,” says NDSA President Randy Schmitt. “It gives the producer in that district a perfect opportunity to address leadership and ask any questions they might have. It gives the association a chance to connect with the producer about the latest what’s going on or what might be coming down the pipe, if there’s anything new that they need to be informed about.” Schmitt, who ranches out of Rugby, says there haven’t been too many big questions or issues on ranchers’ minds, so far. “The funny thing is, when the markets are what they are, the rooms stay pretty quiet when you ask for questions.”
