Mark Messer’s family has been farming and ranching in North Dakota for many years.  Today the farm Messer Beaver Creek Ranch of Richardton, ND, which is run by Mark and 3 of his brothers, has gone through many changes over the years.  Mark and his brother's farm many row crops including corn, wheat, sunflowers to just name a few, they recently sold their dairy cows but still have their beef cow herd which is Mark’s specialty.  Mark said that when he was younger he was the one in charge of taking care of the young calves and always enjoyed that.  So when he got older he transitioned into the Ranch’s beef manger it was a great fit.  Today Mark runs the cows as he sees fit, but has lots of support and help from his family all throughout the year.
