Dakota was born with ranching in his blood. When he was just a little guy, we loved watching him play in the sandbox with his Tonka trucks, you could see his little mind working, planning and dreaming. Just like his dad Joe, he is a hard worker and has big dreams for Lazy JM Cattle Co.
Dakota not only works full time driving for a local trucking business, he also puts in a full day on the ranch. Herd health is always a number one priority for Lazy JM, he spends a lot of time inspecting and ensuring each cow is healthy and gets what it needs to stay that way.
With over 10 leased properties in Turner and the surrounding areas,(and always looking for more... hint hint!) there is a lot of fences to check! Dakota ensures that those fences are sound and does the repairs when needed.
As the main equipment operator on the ranch, he maintains the ranch and keeps it in running order. He is also responsible for irrigating fields and bringing in hay.
The best part about Dakota's job is making sure Buddy has his babies in order. (more on Buddy soon)
Life on the ranch is best seen from the back of a horse. Dakota and Doc are a great team, especially since Doc enjoys working the cattle, together they ensure the safety of the ranch. They can be found together most days sorting, rounding up cattle or just enjoying a leisurely ride out in the field.
When Dakota has time off to himself, he enjoys training his dog Sage, spending time with his friends and volunteering at the Turner Fire Department.
Pretty much, if it has to do with cows, he's the man for the job.
Even the dirty jobs.
Yes Ladies... he's single!
