Lazy W Angus Ranch History

The Lazy W Angus Ranch started raising angus cattle in 1962, 4 1/2 miles north of Cando, North Dakota.

We purchased our first 5 heifer calves from a long time angus breeder, Wesley Moore, of Cogswell, ND. Our first angus bull was purchased from Clyde Barks of Snowrest Angus of Egeland, ND. The bull's bloodline was Peace Garden Eileenmere 054. Other sire bloodlines are Hi Guy, Viking, Patriot, Mr Angus, Krugerrand, Stockmaker, Objective, Mitty, In Focus, TC Stockman 365, GT Maximum, McCumber Mr Wix 204, B/R New Frontier 095, and New Design 878.
