The Held family has ranched along the Powder River and in Carter County for four generations. They raise registered black Angus breeding stock through embryo transfer and 350 mother cows. About 400 acres are under pivots, 100 are on flood irrigation, 300 are under dryland, and the rest is uncultivated hills. Most of the irrigated ground is in alfalfa. They've also raised triticale, peas, oats, barley, corn, and clover.
