Welcome to our family ranch located in the
Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota!
Ryun Livestock is owned and operated
by Jacob Kristine Ryun along with their 4 children.
When this all started, the original focus was in producing and selling quality,
performance Appaloosa horses with excellent personalities, beautiful
conformation, athletic ability, and the distinguishing factor of an
Appaloosa...color! However, with the arrival of the kids it became apparent we needed to change our focus
a bit and start keeping back some of these awesome mounts we were raising
and selling. We proudly stood and owned World Champion &
Silver
Medallion Sire,
Straws Mighty Magnum,
until his passing in October of 2022 at 27 years of age. While our
current breeding plans are on hold a bit, our focus will still remain on
producing a quality performance prospect that will withstand the test of
time and be a life-long partner.
We also run a commercial herd of black Angus and Angus cross cattle.
Our herd bulls are sons of some of the top Angus bulls, while also
occasionally incoorporating in some AI on our heifers. We strive for a
maternal mother cow that is easy to handle and produces a healthy calf with
good natural weight gain each year. Our cattle are hardy and efficient with
moderate size.
As the kids have grown, they have each branched out in a bit of their own
adventures. Our oldest daughter, Abby, has an established flock of
mostly commercial sheep. She is starting to dabble some in registered
stock (Hampshire & Dorset) while improving her base flock of commercial
ewes. She operates under "Ranchin' Chic". Our oldest son, Adam,
has a herd of Jersey cattle he keeps busy milking. He also sells raw
milk off of the farm and raises hogs. His dairy is on Facebook and
YouTube under Ryun's LegenDairy. Our youngest daughter, Katy, raises
rabbits - for meat, show, and pets. She currently has New Zealand,
Mini Lop, and Polish in her rabbitry, KT's Bunnies. Our youngest son,
Kyle, is the poultry guy and operates Farm Raptors. He always has
plenty of chickens, ducks, and turkeys around to help keep us in eggs, meat,
and the bug population down!
We are also dealers of dac® nutritional
products. Our equine partners thrive on their dac® supplements!
Ryun Livestock has also be BQA (Beef Quality Assurance) certified. We
practice safe and humane handling practices on all of our livestock -
program or not.
Ryun Livestock was formally known as Still Seeing Spots Appaloosas.
Throughout that time, we relocated a few times due to Jacob's Active Duty
status with the United States Air Force. Originally located in Wisconsin, we
moved to Alaska and Illinois before settling in North Dakota after Jacob
left active duty in 2009 and joined the North Dakota Air National Guard. We
spent a couple years on a quiet cattle ranch nestled in the North Dakota
badlands before moving to our current location in May 2012.
We hope you enjoy a brief ranch tour as you explore
our website.
