Dale was raised on the farm started by his parents, Gerald and Isabel in the 1930’s. Dale and Deedra bought the farm in 1985 after they were married. Originally 360 acres, since 1985 the farm has grown to about 1,300 acres including Deedra’s parents, Erling and Iva Olson’s farm.
They raise registered and commercial polled Herefords and grow oats and hay for feed. Deedra worked at the Indus School until her second child was born in 1988, then she decided to stay home and grow the farm and cattle business. They started with 15 Herefords and have grown to an average of 150 head of cattle. They regularly attend bull sales and have been buying bulls from Topp Herefords in Grace City ND for the past 15 years. They do some artificial insemination and embryo transfers to improve the quality of the herd. Deedra also had a love for Arabian horses and raised them for many years.
