Sundsbak 7/S ranch in North Dakota started five decades ago with just 20 heifers. Josh Sundsbak and his family farm and ranch in Des Lacs, N.D. Their operation is focused around their registered Angus cattle herd, in addition to running diversified cropland. Darrell Sundsbak, Josh’s grandfather, started Sundsbak 7/S ranch in 1971 with 20 Angus heifers. Darrell started showing cattle through 4-H, which is where he got his start in the cattle industry. The Sundsbak family still remain heavily involved with 4-H and FFA, showing cattle and judging livestock. The generations to follow improved the angus breed within their genetics and breeding program.
