North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum recently visited the construction site for Väderstad America's headquarters in Wahpeton, N.D., according to a LinkedIn post.

The company announced in 2022 that it was expanding its U.S. footprint with a new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Wahpeton.

The new facility will be located beside the existing manufacturing facility and parts warehouse in Wahpeton. The mixed-use space will have approximately 44,000 square feet, containing office space for up to 80 employees. The new facility will also include two dedicated training classrooms and an 11,000 square foot exhibition hall to host dealer staff and technician training, customer clinics, and public events.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
