Meet the Owner

Northland Sires Inc. (NSI) is locally owned by Derek & Brock Jungels. No stranger to the seedstock industry, Jungels already successfully owns and operates Jungels Shorthorn Farm, just a mile up the road, bringing decades of hands-on experience in seedstock cattle production, reproduction services, and livestock marketing. Raised in the heart of North Dakota agriculture, Derek has built a reputation for combining innovative practices with a deep respect for tradition. As the driving force behind NSI, Derek’s vision is simple yet powerful: to provide cattle producers across the Northern Plains with convenient, reliable, and affordable bovine semen collection and storage services.

Beyond business, Derek is dedicated to strengthening rural communities and supporting the next generation of livestock producers. His leadership reflects not only a commitment to excellence in animal care and genetics, but also to relationships built on integrity, trust, and long-term success. Under Derek’s guidance, NSI stands as a partner to cattlemen and women across the region; driven by innovation, grounded in community, and fueled by a passion for advancing agriculture locally and beyond.

Our Team

The team at NSI is made up of people who live and breathe animal agriculture. We understand the day-to-day challenges producers face because we’ve been there ourselves, from calving pens to sale barns, from breeding decisions to the show ring. Our backgrounds guide us to provide not only quality services but trusted advice and support that producers can count on.
