About
The Cattle Keep Us Pretty Grounded.
Range scientists call this the prairie pothole region of the great northern plains grasslands. It’s a deceptively apt name—it’s there, but sometimes you have to look closely to see the beauty in this piece of the prairie.
Nolds have been raising cattle here since 1926. Generation four is now managing the operation. In the 60s and 70s, it was home to a nationally recognized Shorthorn herd. As breed dynamics shifted, so too, changed the cattle being raised here. By the 90s, the family was back to selling seedstock—this time Black Angus. Functional bloodlines that fit these grasslands and its challenging weather patterns were integral then and now to sorting stick selections.
Today the “Family” part of the name reaches from Alaska to Florida. It is our sons, which includes more dogs, more family, and sorry, not sorry, two of the most amazing grandchildren ever. But it is also each and every sibling, and all their family members. It is nieces, nephews, in-laws, and outlaws. We’re not the kumbaya clan by any means, but a wonderfully diverse bunch, teeming with spirit, humor, and make-a-difference ethics.
The cattle keep us pretty grounded. We’re so fortunate to live near Tolstoy/Onaka/Gettysburg/Hoven, an area with folks deeply rooted in love of country and community service ethos. Then a few decades ago some amazing groups of hunters began coming into our life. Today those friendships and camaraderie have deepened well past pheasant opener and beyond. We’ve also been blessed by Labs For Liberty involvement, a non-profit that gives fully-trained service dogs to special ops military veterans, completely free of charge. And our lives have never been the same, in the best possible of ways.
