Gary Hansen

Gary Hansen, Shorthorn cattle, Lisbon, ND, in Ransom County and the Red River Valley near Fargo. He has been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than 25 years, holds a lifetime membership in the American Shorthorn Association and follows comprehensive vaccination and biosecurity protocols alongside annual veterinary health checks. The herd grazes on native grasslands across rotating pastures through each season, and calves are handled gently from birth with quiet routines and open barns to encourage calm temperaments and ease transitions to mixed farming systems.

Hansen’s breeding program emphasizes balanced selection for milking ability, beef marbling and maternal traits, guiding choices toward docile cattle that perform reliably in family-run operations and educational farm visits. His cattle often receive recognition at county and state fairs for frame consistency and coat sheen, reflecting detailed record keeping, seasonal pasture management, and selective sire pairing. Feedback from neighboring ranchers and university extension specialists informs adjustments in herd nutrition, while a small sheltered barn offers refuge during harsh winters and calving seasons.
