VollmerAngusRanch

Vollmer Angus was started in 1952 by Alvin & Verna Vollmer, Allen's parents. The ranch is located in the Couteau region of ND where the tall-grasses and the short-grasses of the prairie meet. Nearly all of the forage and feed needed for the cowherd is raised right here at the ranch. Cell grazing and no-till farming are important production elements of VAR which was awarded the Achievement Award in 1997 by the Burleigh Co Soil Conservation District.

Vollmer Angus Ranch Mission Statement:
"To produce high quality Angus cattle that strive and thrive in the realistic but harsh environment of the Dakota's. We desire to breed cattle of outstanding phenotype, structure, and genetic excellence that runs deep into the pedigree ancestry. We insist that the cattle of this nature survive on minimal inputs while producing a palatable end product through the conversion of forage. It is extremely important that the cattle be reproductively efficient enabling them to be a sound financial investment."
