North Dakota Stockmen’s Association Vice President Tim Erbele says the strength in the North Dakota cattle industry goes beyond the price of feeder calves. “We are very, very fortunate in the north. The production of grass and hay that we’ve had has really helped position us to enjoy these times.” During CattleCon, Erbele spoke with cattle producers from the Southern Plains who have been dealing with a multi-year drought. “They’re down and trying to rebuild, and obviously, they want to do that, but we’re very fortunate where we’re at.”
