Head 'em Up
Nov 13, 2014
Tara Anderson shared these photos of her family's cattle drive early this month. The drive takes place west of Wilmot each fall. The herd is driven from their summer pastures in the hills to their winter pasture in Whetstone Valley. "My grandfather, Glenn Ammann, began the tradition decades ago with his Hereford cattle," Anderson says. "My father, Tyler Ammann, continues the annual event with his herd of 800 Black Angus cattle."

The Ammann cattle drive is a family tradition over 45 years in the making, with many family and friends riding horses or ATVs to bring the livestock home for winter. -
South Dakota is 8th in the nation for beef production, with over 15,000 producers and 3.65 million head. -
The cattle make the familiar trek from their summer pasture in the hills to their winter pasture in the heart of Whetstone Valley. -
