CRAWFORD – JR Wasserburger and his wife, Billie, chose to live in Crawford so they could raise their children closer to family. Their kids are now the fifth generation of Wasserburgers to work their cattle ranch.
“My great-grandfather homesteaded our land up in Sioux County back in 1886,” said Wasserburger.
Wasserburger started his life out on the ancestral land in Sioux County, which his grandfather still owned. But when Wasserburger was around three years old, his parents bought the land they now live on in Crawford, and they moved to start their own ranch.
Nowadays, Wasserburger and his parents, Jake and Vicki Wasserburger, run both the ranch in Crawford and the one in Sioux County, but that wasn’t always the future he had envisioned.
“I wanted to study computers,” said Wasserburger, “but I knew if I went to college, with no curfew and no structure, it would have been a detriment to me.”
