They employ a salesman, a painter, a saw operator and usually 8-11 welders.They have dealers in 10 states and customers as far away as the West Coast and down into Texas and Tennessee. Roger Petersen was hired as plant manager when the plant opened in 2007. Roger had welding experience and drafting experience from working at trailer manufacturing plants in Mitchell SD for the previous 16 years. He was raised on the family farm and had a great understanding of how to build things. One of Roger's greatest talents was being able to look at a picture and make a print so the shop could build the item. He has designed and re-designed products to make them work best for the customers.The goal of Ranchers Livestock Equipment is to build safe, quality equipment for Ranchers and Farmers.
