  • Randy Verkamp lives and works on the cattle ranch his family has owned since 1932. There are approximately 180 cattle that graze on more than 100 acres. The fields provide about 500 bales of hay yearly to feed the cattle throughout the winter.

    He also works as the presiding Commissioner of Phelps County. There is an election every four years, and he has been in office for the last 20. He is proud of the county's beautiful landscapes, caring citizens, and proud legacy.
