Tomorrow’s Top Hands Beef Leadership Summit

Partnering with cattle and ranch organizations throughout western North Dakota remains an important aspect of Dakota West’s region, and this week we are proud to sponsor the North Dakota Stockman’s Association’s Tomorrow’s Top Hands Beef Leadership Summit in Minot this Thursday through Saturday in Minot.

The Tomorrow's Top Hands Beef Leadership Summit is a high-energy, power-packed, beef-industry career exploration and leadership development conference to help youth gain connections and develop leadership skills.  Focused on the youth ages 14 through 20, speakers from across North Dakota are gathering to help instill the leadership skills among the next generation of North Dakota’s ranchers.

We've supported ranching students from 4-H fundraisers, to regional saddle clubs, from high school rodeos to our own Dakota West scholarship recipients such as Charles Eriksmoen.  Supporting today's students and tomorrow's ranchers will continue the traditions of western North Dakota.

To learn more about this event, and all the ways the North Dakota Stockman’s Association is serving ranchers, be sure to visit ndstockman.org, or follow its Facebook page to learn more about current events in our region.  Dakota West is proud to be a member of this organization and support its work in supporting the efforts of ranchers throughout western North Dakota.

Welcome to Autumn – officially – although the weather of late still feels a bit like the previous season.  So what!  The fall fun is underway in many of our communities, and looking at the November Calendar, it is time to start planning for your Thanksgiving meal.  It’s been a year to truly give thanks for what is most important in our lives: our families, our freedoms, our health, and our traditions.

Whatever November holds for you, we are here to provide you with the guidance you need to plan for the coming holidays, to express our gratitude to our members, and to enjoy the first fall of snow together.  Happy Birthday North Dakota, and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Member Calendar - August 2020

Summer may be skipping right along, but August still features some of our favorite food days: National Watermelon Day and National S'mores Day.  Get out there and enjoy those treats, plus make time to celebrate another tasty North Dakota favorite.

Hurry, though, our August Calendar also includes the first day of school for many students, so make the most of the Burgers in the Park, whether in Bowman or New England, or Ribfest in Watford City, or any way you like to grill up, slice up, or toast up your summer days!

Let's Talk Mortgages

If you’ve ever gone through the process of buying a home, you may have one of the four most common types of home mortgages.  But if you are considering buying your first home, or even starting to save for the down payment on a future home, it doesn’t hurt to talk to a home mortgage lender now to be sure you are headed on the right path towards home ownership.

Some of our branches have dedicated home mortgage specialists, such as Stef Russell in our Watford City branch and Jayne Pochant in our Washburn branch, but regardless of where your house may be, the expertise of our loan officers will help guide you along the path as you plan together for your biggest purchase: your first home.

Whether you are considering an FHA loan or a VA loan, whether you are building from the ground up, or your house will be rolling on to your piece of land, we want our members to plan and purchase a home that will be the warm and inviting location to raise a family, create memories, and spend your lifetime.

Let us help you get started today.  Call your local branch and make an appointment with a loan officer to work together and be sure your plan for home ownership is growing forward.
