Bob and Nancy Montross move a lot of beef from their farm east of De Smet, South Dakota, but rather than leaving in a cattle pot, it’s shipped in cardboard boxes through the U.S. Postal Service.
Beef Bucks was named the 2018 South Dakota State University Friend of the Beef Industry. Bob and Nancy Montross, center, accepted the award during halftime of the Beef Bowl football game Sept. 15. Presenting the award was Dr. Joe Cassady, SDSU Animal Science Department head, left, Dr. John Killefer, dean of the SDSU College of Agriculture and SDSU President Barry Dunn.
Beef Bucks donates to the South Dakota Highway Patrol. Pictured with the South Dakota Highway Patrol Color Guard are Major Mike Miller, center, and Beef Bucks board members Eileen Moller, left, Nancy Montross and Bob Montross.
