lands adjacent to them.
Acknowledging the mix of public and private
land within his ranch’s geography, Barthelmess
echoes the care given to the land. “Ownership is not
the key,” Barthelmess says. “It’s the stewardship of the
landscape that’s more important than ownership.”
While not taking part in any formal easements,
Barthelmess is a known advocate for making the cow
work for you in a grass system, increasing forage for
livestock and wildlife alike. It’s a legacy mindset he
shares with his family.
He knows it’s more than just ranching.
Barthelmess and Veseth are leaders in a
movement that goes beyond the boundaries of their
own land. As President and Vice President of the
Ranchers Stewardship Alliance, they are at the helm
of a rancher-led organization dedicated to sustaining
the Northern Great Plains through collaboration,
education, and innovation. The Alliance fosters
a unique partnership between ranchers and
conservationists, proving that healthy ecosystems
and productive ranches can thrive together. It’s a
commitment to future generations, both human and
wild.
What they do is far more than land management.
By nurturing native grasslands and sagebrush
habitats, these ranchers are building biodiversity,
protecting soil health, and ensuring the survival of
wildlife species that depend on these ecosystems.
Their stewardship creates ripples that benefit not
only their land but the entire Northern Great Plains.
The beauty of these wide-open spaces is
undeniable. But behind that beauty is an often unseen
dedication to conservation—ranchers working
tirelessly to protect and preserve the very heart of
this landscape. They aren’t just ranching; they are
preserving a legacy, ensuring that this land, and all it
holds, endures for future generations.
