Located on the edge of the North Dakota badlands, we place an emphasis on raising cattle that thrive in our environment, are structurally sound, with superior maternal traits. We offer cattle that are an outcross to many of today’s popular bloodlines, that are sure to appeal to any discriminating commercial or seedstock producer.
Well the cows are all ready for breeding season!![]()

It’s been a wild week here at PHG! Leading into this week we have been in the grasp of a severe drought, rivaling 1988 and 1994. Since July 1, 2024 we have had just a little over 1” of moisture. We had begun purchasing hay, planning to dry lot most of the herd since stock dams were empty and grass was non-existent. We have done two rounds of culls on the cows since calving concluded. To say things were looking ugly is an understatement. ![]()

And then Wednesday happened. The forecast had been calling for around an inch of moisture for this week. Wednesday it started raining and we had around 1.5”. Thursday it kept raining and by the time it quit on Friday afternoon we had 4.5” total for the week. This moisture is an absolute blessing and game changer for our summer! We have water in some dams that have been dry for the past two summers. God is good!![]()

As the rain was concluding today we were setting up cows to AI next week. While the mud wasn’t much fun to fight, there wasn’t much complaining - it sure beats the dust! We almost thought some of these calves would need floaties with all the standing water!![]()

Hopefully the sun shines, the grass and hay grows, and everyone has a great summer!
