Ranching Perspectives
 

Prairie Public Broadcasting, Fargo, North Dakota, 2003, DVD, funding provided by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development


Ranching requires a mixture of financial sense, marketing savvy, sheer physical strength, and a touch of animal psychology. Ranching Perspectives spends time with ten North Dakota families who understand this way of life -- the life of the original rural business. But the complex issues ranchers face today are different than those their parents encountered. Ranchers manage the complex opportunities and challenges of running a business with the added burden of the daily care and feeding of hundreds of large animals. They are grounded in traditions, yet must constantly modify their operations to meet the needs of a modern world. Get an eye-full of some of the most beautiful countryside in North Dakota while experiencing the ranching industry from a different perspective.

The program features the Wolff family on their ranch near Golden Valley, ND. The Wolff family has ancestral roots to the village of Glückstal, South Russia, today in Moldova near Odessa, Ukraine. Families members include Cora Wolff Tschaefoske, Dickinson, ND and her late sister, Viola Wolff Bertsch. Cora and Viola visited their homeland village of Glückstal in May, 1997.
