Sisters
Jacki and Vicki along with brother Dick are the 4th generation
of Andersen’s
to farm and ranch this property. Great Grandfather, Johan Andersen
first homesteaded in the early 1900’s, then passed to
Grandfather, Anders Andersen, then passed down to father, Gene
Andersen
and then to daughter Jacki and son-in-law Larry Higgins.
In the mid 70's, father, Gene
Andersen also raised buffalo, along with the construction of
a local
attraction,
the car corrals.
We currently have two corrals, each built
with approximately 100 old cars of all kinds (no imports), serve as a sturdy
and effective means for working buffalo. While we have had some try to escape,
so far it is car corral 2, buffalo 0.
We
have been in the buffalo business since January of 2000.
Along with the buffalo
we raise winter wheat, corn, sunflowers (oil type) and hay, all
being non-irrigated.
We
also raise beef, the other red meat.
