Ranching in North Dakota

North Dakota ranching spans the badlands and breaks of the west, the coteau and pothole country of the center, and the prairie of the north. Winter feed capacity is a central practical question everywhere: hay meadow, stored feed and shelter often determine how many head a property can carry.

In the western counties, mineral ownership is frequently severed and surface use agreements are active. Those documents are reviewed alongside the deed, because the terms of existing agreements affect what a charitable owner would actually receive and what obligations would come with it.
