Sale week is only a couple of weeks away—What better time to get to know your hosts?! ⬇️⬇️
Blake was born and raised in Watford City, ND. He is a fourth-generation rancher and has been around cattle, farming, and agriculture his entire life.
I (Whitney) was born and raised in Hettinger, ND. I wasn't raised within a ranching background, as our family ranch had been sold a few generations before, but I did grow up in a small-town, rural community where farming and ranching played an integral role.
After coming home from college, Blake decided to step further into agriculture and take on seed-stock production, commercial cow-calf, and heifer development. Over the the last couple of years, we have created "Missouri River Red Angus"--the official name for all of our business endeavors.
We chose "Missouri River Red Angus" as our business name because the river is near and dear to us as individuals. We recently built our dream home right alongside the river, and our cattle also run along 9 miles of the river--so we wanted to incorporate this very special water source into our name.
Our goal here at MRRA is to be progressive with genetics while focusing on cattle that are functional as well as phenotypically correct. Creating cattle that are right for you and your operation will continue to be number one.
We can't wait to see many of you on Wednesday, April 1st— but if you aren't able to join us in person, you can tune into DV Auction to view the sale and place bids online.
Sale will begin at 3:00 PM CDT at the McKenzie County Ag Expo in Watford City, ND. 🐂
Stay tuned throughout the week as we share more about the bulls we’re offering.
