Young Ranchers of South Dakota



The Young Ranchers of South Dakota is a South Dakota youth organization whose purpose is to "uphold the virtues, work ethic and model citizenship befitting a member of YRSD." Due to its patriotic background, the YRSD has strong ties to the United States government and is strictly in accordance with all laws and regulations issued by the said government. If any YRSD member ever committed any "betrayal" of said adherence to U.S. law will result in immediate dismissal from the YRSD, as well as possible legal action.

Young Rancher Shoot-Off
The YRSD held an annual Shoot-Off at South Dakota's state fair in every year, in which the competition was initially competed by men since 1935 until 1945, when Susan Farley became the first woman to enter the Young Rancher Shoot-Off and won. However, she was immediately dismissed and her victory rescinded when her affiliation to the anti-government group, the Alliance for American Autonomy, was discovered. As of 1950, Becka Feedle of Minnehaha County was the second woman to enter the competition since Farley's dismissal.
