Assman Land and Cattle. American Bison and Organic Farming. One of my favorite things to do is bite off more than I can chew. Founder of Dakota Pure Bison.
My cousin Tim Assman passed away on Friday from a tragic accident. He was 39 years old. He was one of the good ones. Couldn’t find a better cow hand or friend. There’s a good chance several of you on here have ran into him at a bar or rodeo dance somewhere along the way.
I was trying to explain gravity to my 3 year old and I said,
“When you jump up in the air, gravity pulls you back down.”
My 3 year old ponders this for awhile and says,
“Well what about birds then?”
I looked him right in the eye and said,
“Birds aren’t real son.”
Everybody wants a wife with a good job in town with insurance and benefits. I fear we are going to find out a wife that knows how to kill, clean and cook a chicken with have far more value.
4:00pm December 23, 2022. Highway 18, 2 miles East of Assman Implement and Hidden Timber Road. 20+ vehicles lined up behind a West bound DOT snow blower. -2 degrees. 20mph winds. Took me 4 hours to make it the 3.5 miles up to Highway 18 with the snow blower.
Made it up the road 2 miles to feed one herd of cows for the first time since Monday. My path had drifted back in by the time we went back home. 9 miles east of Mission SD.
My father in law is a Knight of Columbus and every year they volunteer to put wreaths on all the graves at the veterans cemetery in the Black Hills. This is the first year he’s had to place one on my late uncles grave. Edwin Assman US Army Vietnam. Airborne Medic. Purple Heart.
Fence line feed bunk discussion. 12 or 15 foot pad? If you use steel bottomless bunk Do you set bunk on pad or just off the pad on rock? Will the bunks need anchored down? Discuss. Never been around Fenceline feed Bunks always just opened the gate.

Lot 140, 1st Place Yearling Bull at the Gold Trophy Show and Sale in Denver. Also the high selling bull in the sale. Sired by “Renegade”. Raised by Wolverine Bison. We are excited to bring a bull of this caliber home. He will make a great addition to our lineup.

We are looking for a motivated individual add to our crew. Foreman or management position possibilities! Housing and competitive pay included! We farm organically at scale and raise bison in south central South Dakota. Haying and trucking are also large parts of what we do.
Left to right. My Uncle Chris Assman, Dick Risseeuw, my uncle Dave Assman, my dad Mike Assman, my uncle Brad Assman, and my Grandfather Joe Assman. Would have been about 1972 give or take.
