DTBA 21st Annual Winter Conference& Black Hills Buffalo Classic Show & Sale

About the Dakota Territory Buffalo Assn.• The DTBA was established in 1996 and is based in Rapid City, SD.

• The DTBA has 180 members representing 14 states, including South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Texas, Indiana, South Carolina, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas and California.

• South Dakota is the largest buffalo producing state in the US, with more buf-falo than the next two biggest states combined. North Dakota, Montana, and Nebraska are the next largest producing states.

• Buffalo prices are at record setting levels with demand out pacing supply

• The DTBA is a member of the National Bison Association, based in Denver, Colorado. The association also shares membership with our sister associa-tion, the North Dakota Buffalo Association and is a lifetime member of the Montana Bison Association.

• The DTBA hosted the 2007 International Bison Conference in Rapid City, SD and to date that was one of the most successful IBC events anywhere.

• The DTBA was the first group to develop a carcass contest based on real market conditions. Additionally, the group was the first, and is still the only, group that conducts a carcass contest for heifers.

• Member Bruce Anderson, owner of Western Buffalo Company in Rapid City, South Dakota, is currently serving as President of the National Bison Associa-tion.

• Custer State Park has a herd of approximately 1300 buffalo and is an active member of the association and partners with the group on many projects.

• The DTBA Black Hills Buffalo Classic Show and Sale, featuring the group’s Young Guns Yearling Breeding Bull Challenge and the Girlz Gone Wild Two Year Old Bred Heifer Challenge, is currently one of the most successful live buffalo auctions in the country. In 2015, the sale had the highest selling bull and the highest average in the country on yearling breeding bulls and the sec-ond highest average in the country on two year old bred heifers and tied for the highest selling two year old bred heifer in the country. The Girlz Gone Wild program is the only one of its kind in the country.

2017 CONSIGNORS777 Ranch Mimi Hillenbrand, Owner; Moritz Espy, Manager • PO Box 8303, Rapid City, SD 57709 • (605) 430-7471 Our vision and goal for the 777 Ranch bison herd is to preserve and maintain the integrity of bison as a species. We let this vision guide us in our selection of our herd by letting nature take its course, as much as possible, and letting bison be bison. Our herd is run as a single herd to maximize and promote strong family groups. Our management is based on the Holistic Management Principles setup by Allen Savory. We use a planned grazing strategy which allows us to know where, when, and what the animals graze from conception to when we sell our animals. We are strictly a grass-fed operation. We do not feed our herd supplemental feed in the winter. We could achieve better gains on our yearlings if we ran them ahead of the herd on the freshest grass, but we believe that the lessons learned in the family unit are more important and that that the gains made while competing against mature animals are valuable life lessons.

Blue Valley Ranch Josh Richert, Herd Manager • PO Box 1224, Kremmling, CO 80459 • (970) 724-3768 Blue Valley Ranch is located near Kremmling in Middle Park, Colorado. Our herd, established in 1996, grazes a 10,000 acre pasture from May through October at an elevation of 7,600 to 9,000 feet. Our health program consists of 7 way and injectable wormer in the fall.

Cammack Buffalo Ranch John, Melanie, Lane & Mike Cammack • 16800 Old Stoneville Road, Stoneville, SD • (605) 985-5289 The Cammack Buffalo Ranch is operating in the 5th generation and is located in Stoneville South Dakota. John manages the ranch with his Uncle Lane. His Dad, Mike, lives in Alaska acting as the not-so-silent partner. John and Melanie’s 4 kids work alongside as they learn how to take over in the future. We bought our first 30 buffalo in 1999 and have slowly built our herd to 350 cows. Doing so by buying the top genetics that we can find that fit our program. One of the great cow herds that we purchased was the Colorado Bison Company’s complete herd dispersal. We have purchased bulls from around the country searching out top performance animals to continue to build a strong and functional herd. We love to improve our herd as we go through a strict culling program while allowing the buffalo to do their thing on the rolling western South Dakota prairie. We have our own performance tests we do on the ranch to help with the culling process. We also run 300 head of beef cows so we remember how great the buffalo are. Please see are web site for more information www.cammackbuffaloranch.com or email John at [email protected].

Cold Creek Buffalo CompanyBoyd & Allison Meyer • PO Box 82, Windsor, CO 80550 • (970) 396-2249 The origins of animals at Cold Creek Buffalo, founded in 2002, came from reputable herds from around North America. Tatonka Ranch, Wolver-ine Bison, Le Grande Ranch, Slim Buttes and Red Canyon are where the seed stock animals came from that have built Cold Creek into a premier breeding stock producer. Cold Creek Buffalo DNA tests their breeding herd to identify superior genetics from both their cows and herd bulls. These genetics are then evaluated through their performance tested program to ensure the best traits are carried forward. Boyd is an avid supporter of the DTBA perfor-mance tested classes which allows producers to gauge their breeding programs against other top ranches in the United States and promote the importance of offering top quality breeding stock to producers.

Custer State ParkChad Kremer, Herd Manager • 13329 US Hwy. 16A, Custer, SD 57730 • (605) 255-4515 Custer State Park has been producing quality buffalo since 1914. We have the longest running annual buffalo production in the world since 1966. Our buffalo are given standard vaccinations as calves, after that they are naturally raised without any vaccinations unless needed. Foundation of the Custer State Park herd is from the Scotty Phillip/Fred Dupree herd with genetic additions including the Wind Cave National Park herd. Custer State Park has been and continues to be, the foundation source for numerous private herds over the last 50 years! Animals are naturally range raised, supplemental mineral. Our Young Gun entries earned 3rd place in 2009 and 2011.

Crazy Arrow RanchGlen & Becky Carr • 13749 Spirit Valley Trail, Conifer, CO 80433 • (303) 838-5757 We have a small ranch in the foothills southwest of Denver, Colorado. Our animals are on the family ranch in Prairie City, SD, where my brother, Larry, and his wife, Renee, take care of them at the Rafter K Bar. We are always looking at improving the genetics in our buffalo herd and enjoy the DTBA competition programs “Young Guns & Girlz Gone Wild” which allows us to continue to see results. We have been in the livestock business for several years which includes Buffalo, Black Angus & Highland cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses and one mule. We are proud to be part of the DTBA community to continue to improve our herd.

Holcomb Buffalo RanchZane Holcomb • 10738 Holcomb Place, Buffalo, SD 57720 • (605) 375-3478 Located in northwest South Dakota, Holcomb Buffalo Ranch has been raising buffalo for a quarter of a century on the family-owned ranch. The herd at Holcomb Buffalo Ranch thrives on fresh water, good hard grass and mineral supplements. They are fed hay and a little cake in the winter as needed. The cow herd is amassed from many different producers, with a blend of solid genetics being the goal. All the breeding bulls are from Slim Buttes Buffalo Ranch. In 2016, we were awarded second place in the Cutting Edge Carcass Bull contest.

Heartland Bison RanchLeeAllen & Rebecca Leier/Kevin & Anne Leier • 4525 Highway 3 S, Rugby, ND 58368 • (701) 542-3325 Heartland Bison Ranch, established in 1996, is a cow calf operation run by LeeAllen and Kevin near Rugby, ND. Both LeeAllen and Kevin strive to produce animals with consistent strong weaning weights and all around solid gaining ability in both grass and grain scenarios. Heartland Bison uses a select set of cut weights and target numbers to help determine which animals are “eaters” and which are “breeders” because the differ-ence is important in order to maintain a high quality herd. Our bull battery consists of bulls from Slim Buttes, Cammack Buffalo, Jumpoff Buffalo, Heartland Bison, Sheyenne River Bison and Silver Creek Bison. These sires have given us a mix of genetics that continue to serve our focus as we move into the future. LeeAllen and Kevin are strong supporters of the performance classes as they once again have stepped up to host the Girlz in 2017-2018 making it their 3rd straight year in a row. The ability to have some of the top ranches in the nation bring their animals to a neutral location and be raised under the same conditions is an unbelievable opportunity to gauge the quality and adaptability of these animals. It is this opportunity that is a major driver in Heartland Bison Ranch helping to continue to bring these animals to town.

Horse Creek Bison/McFarland RanchSteve, Roxann, Ashley & Paden McFarland • 15807 Ellingson Road, Hettinger, ND 58639 • (605) 564-4672 Horse Creek Bison is a fourth generation bison and cattle ranch. Frank McFarland started the herd with four heifers and one bull calf back in 1954. Today, we run close to 100 head in conjunction with Rafter K Bar, Larry and Renee Carr. Our animals are on a complete health program. We have used Byrd bulls and purchased bred heifers at the Black Hills Buffalo Classic. We have raised most of our own females and a few of our own bulls. Currently, we are using a herd bull from Cold Creek Buffalo Company. Bison are fed free choice mineral and pasture grazed, supplemented with grass hay when needed. We received the Black Hills Buffalo Classic Grand Champion award in 1999 and the Grand Champion Bull and Grand Champion Heifer wards in 2007. Over the years, we have placed with three golds, two silvers and six bronze for our show animals in various classes. Contact us for private treaty sales and private hunts.

Jumpoff Buffalo RanchScott & Susan Peterson, Owners • Cody Kloeckl, Mgr. • PO Box 213, Belle Fourche, SD 57717 • (605) 641-7776 Jumpoff Buffalo Ranch is located Harding County, SD, the heart of buffalo country. The ranch name derives from the expansive mud buttes and landmark mini-badlands known as The Jumpoff. Our first animals, 150 heifer calves, were purchased in 1997. Our herd originated from the Slim Buttes Buffalo Ranch herd. We purchased our first heifer calves from Slim Buttes in 1997. Our current bull battery consists of bulls that have come from performance tested and genetically proven production animals. Approximately 80% of our bulls have been purchased through the DTBA Young Guns Yearling Bull Challenge program. Jumpoff Buffalo Ranch has been the recipient of many awards and our animals have placed everywhere they have been shown, including the Western Bison Association Wild West Stampede Show and Sale, the National Bison Association Gold Trophy Show and Sale and the Dakota Ter-ritory Buffalo Association Black Hills Buffalo Classic Show and Sale. Additionally, we were a $10,000 DTBA Reality Based Carcass Class winner with our bull entry and named the Black Hills Buffalo Classic Producer of the Year in 2013. Purchasers of our animals continue to show genetic success within their programs. We have continually purchased the top bulls in the Black Hills Buffalo Classic Young Guns Yearling Breeding Bull Challenge since its inception. This has helped to build a solid genetic base in our herd with results showing in our calf weaning weights and in our feeder animal gains. Jumpoff Buffalo Ranch competes in the DTBA challenge classes because it’s a proven program with tangible results. The challenge programs have improved numerous ranches by infusing their herds with animals that have great genetic potential.

The ranch was home to pigs, sheep, horses and later, Angus and Highlander cattle. We eventually made the switch to buffalo on the ranch and have never looked back! All the animals on our ranch are raised on grass in the summer and quality prairie hay in the winter, with good mineral supplementation and annual vaccinations.

LeeAllen and Rebecca Leier, along with their eight children, started Heartland Bison Ranch in 1996 on a quarter of land south of Rugby ND. Their first ten bison calves hit the ground in the spring of 1997. The summer of 1998, Lee and Rebecca made the move to purchase 700+ acres in southern Pierce County and growth continued with the herd reaching over 100 stock cows. With a large con-tinuous piece of land, it was time to put down roots and with a whole family effort, the Leiers estab-lished a new homestead and ranch headquarters for Heartland Bison Ranch. The original cows brought to the ranch were out of three different bloodlines. M-line, Custer, and Durham. These animals were the original seed stock for the herd. Today, we have used those animals and an excellent selection of bulls to raise stock cows that have the traits and genetics we continue to strive for. Today, Lee and Rebecca, along with their son Kevin and his wife Anne, continue to expand the ranch for the next generation. Hosting the Girlz Gone Wild competition for the DTBA was an honor for our operation and we feel blessed to have had so much support with the undertaking from mem-bers of the DTBA across the nation.

The 2016-2017 class of Girlz Gone Wild Heifers started arriving at Heartland Bison Ranch right after the DTBA conference and the final animals in the class arrived by the last week of February. Dur-ing their acclimation period, the group was given free choice hay, access to trace mineral and salt blocks, and given three pounds of 16% protein range cake per head every two days. By the first week of March the group had acclimated well and the heifers were in good shape as we started to wean them off their range cake as they moved from their smaller three acre holding pen to a larger fifteen acre spot.

On April 9, we ran the heifers through the working facilities to gather their out to grass weights and retagged each animal with their DTBA ear tags. They were also given a shot of Ivermectin at this time.

We were once again blessed with an abundance of moisture this past growing season and the heif-ers benefited from excellent range conditions. While out on pasture, the Girlz had access to a 12% protein tub lick and were caked just enough each week to keep them coming to the pickup for herd health monitoring. By the middle of May, we turned in the bulls to get acquainted with the Girlz. The bull power was a combination of KenMar bulls and Heartland Bison bulls. Once again, we would re-ally like to thank Ryan for leasing some great bulls to us to make sure we had the coverage needed. These guys did an outstanding job as we hit a 94% pregnancy rate on this group of 49 heifers. We also pulled the bulls by the second week of September to make sure these heifers have a closed calving window.

With great weather throughout the fall, we were able to keep the group out on pasture until the first blizzard hit our ranch the first week of December. At that point, the heifers were brought into their fifteen acre holding pasture were they grazed off the pasture and then received free choice hay and a tub lick. Over the course of four weeks, the heifers were hit with three more strong blizzards that brought our snow total to just shy of 58 inches by Jan. 1. Mother nature put these heifers through her own test and they did just as nature intended..... they thrived!

On Jan. 6, the heifers were ran through to be worked for the sale. Our vet and ultrasound tech did a great job of getting their work done quickly and the heifers handling the work well.

This class once again has brought outstanding bred females to the auction block and buyers will now have a chance to take these animals home to either start or expand their herds with exceptional female stock. We would like to thank the consignors and the DTBA for once again putting their faith in our ranch to raise these performance tested heifers.Kevin and Lee Leier

Young Guns Yearling Breeding Bull Challenge If you follow Highway 20 in northwest South Dakota, ironically located between Buffalo and Bison, you’ll drive through Prairie City. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it! On the west edge, you’ll see some old rail cars on a hill out behind the buildings, more rail cars nestled along the shelterbelt. If you didn’t know better, you’d think a railroad “buff” lived there! You might be right. The Young Guns program moved to a new host ranch this past year, Rafter K Bar. Larry and Renee Carr have been overseeing the bulls and taking the opportunity to work on improvements for the bulls and, in the long run, their own operation. The year has had lots of experiences and Larry will be the first to admit, some challenges. But to his credit and through the sheer amount of time he has spent with them, this group of bulls has the best dispositions we have seen in this program. There is a lot of potential in the bull pen...

Larry wanted to thank everyone for their assistance this year, including: Renee Carr, Marilyn Carr , Jud Seaman, Clyde Gorsuch, Sandy Limpert, Brodie Limpert, Aaron Moenkedick, Steve, Roxann & Paden McFarland, Zane Hol-comb, Karen Conley, Todd Goetz, Kevin Leier, Moritz Espy, Boyd Meyer, John and Taber Cammack, Bob Penn, his good neighbors Rich and Richard, judges Perry Handyside and Chad Heim, Scranton Equity, Sandra Holcomb, DVM, Ultrasound Technician Kama Bruns, DTBA for the challenge and all the consignors for bringing great bulls for the contest!

The Young Guns bull calves were received at Rafter K Bar mid-winter of 2016. The calves were put on free choice pellets and grass hay while acclimating to the ranch and the other calves.

In mid-April, the pellets were removed from the pen of calves to condition them for pasture. With dry conditions looming, the bulls were turned out to grass on May 13. The grass was average and the bulls were rotated through four different pastures from spring to late fall. The were fed a bag or two of cake as needed to help with mineral consumption and also to keep them coming to the pickup.

On September 10, the bulls were brought in to start their feed test. At that time, the bulls were weighed and given Ivermax injectable, Pulmagaurd PHM and 7 way. The bulls were put on free choice Scranton Equity Buffalo Grow pellets and free choice quality prairie hay. After 119 days on feed, the bulls were processed to pick the final cut for the sale. The bulls are being weaned off of feed in preparation for the upcoming breeding season.

I hope you enjoy these bulls as much as I have. They are quiet and gentle with outstanding disposi-tions. They will just continue to grow and get better and better.

~Larry Carr
