Five South Dakotans have earned their way onto the 2025 Top 10 Under 40 list compiled by The Cattle Business Weekly newspaper.
Based in Philip, each year the publication selects a group of men and women involved in the U.S. cattle industry who are doing their best to improve their businesses, communities and industry. The Top 10 is routinely made up of leaders who represent production agriculture, marketing, ag affiliate services, education, research, finance and ag advocacy.

- cattle feeder Patrick Maher, Timber Lake, S.D.;
- Charles and Heather Maude, ranchers at Caputa, S.D.;
- Nick Jorgensen of Jorgensen Land & Cattle, Ideal, S.D.;

- DV Auction rep Logan Hoffman of Wheatland, N.D.;
- Minnesota cattleman, Brady Wulf, Starbuck, Minn.;
