In 1990 they sold the vet practice and became full time dairy farmers by moving to New Mexico and building a 5000 cow dairy farm.

There were 12,128 births in 2017 and 94 infant deaths for a rate of 7.8 deaths per 1,000 live births. The state reported its lowest ever American Indian infant mortality rate of 8.6 deaths per 1,000 live births. The white infant mortality rate was 7 deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2016, South Dakota reported a rate of 4.8 deaths per 1,000 live births. Although the state’s infant mortality rate increased in 2017, the average infant mortality rate for the five-year period from 2013 to 2017 is the lowest ever recorded at 6.5 deaths per 1,000 live births. “Infant mortality is a complex and multi-faceted issue, and the latest data demonstrates that sustained effort is needed to ensure more South Dakota babies celebrate their first birthday,” said First Lady Linda Daugaard, who chaired the 2011 Governor’s Task Force on Infant Mortality. “We must continue to promote safe sleep guidelines for infants, help pregnant women stop smoking and encourage early prenatal care.” South Dakota data shows babies are twice as likely to die before their first birthday if their mothers smoke during pregnancy. In 2017, 12.6 percent of pregnant women smoked while pregnant, down from 19.4 percent in 2007. The data also shows 72.2 percent of pregnant women in South Dakota received prenatal care in the first trimester. “Infant mortality is considered a gold standard for measuring the health of a population,” said Kim Malsam-Rysdon, Secretary of Health. “The Department of Health, in cooperation with partners, is committed to offering statewide services and providing community support to improve the health of all South Dakotans.” The First Lady noted the state’s Cribs for Kids program has distributed 9,759 safe sleep kits to families in need since its launch in 2012. The kits include a Pack ‘N Play crib, sheet, infant sleep sack, pacifier and safe sleep educational materials. Learn more about healthy pregnancies and safe sleep guidelines at ForBabySakeSD.com. Summer Tourism Season In South Dakota Shows Promise PIERRE, S.D. – Thanks in part to a new peak season campaign, “Great Faces, Great Places,” the South Dakota Department of Tourism is expecting the launch of the peak tourist season this month to be another solid one for the state. “Our campaign is performing well,” said James Hagen, Secretary of the South Dakota Department of Tourism. “In Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Canada, interest in visiting South Dakota this summer is strong. We’re expecting this to translate into a good season for tourism in South Dakota.” The department monitors several key indicators to determine how the marketing is resonating with consumers. Vacation Guide requests through the department’s website TravelSouthDakota.com are up 78 percent, while the number of new visitors to the site is up 11 percent from Jan. 1 through April. For the same time frame, e-newsletter signups are up 32 percent. The new “Great Faces, Great Places” creative campaign— which incorporates the tagline first used in 1989—focuses on both the unique faces and great places that visitors will find in South Dakota. Backed by new South Dakota artist recordings of the iconic “Great Faces, Great Places, South Dakota” jingle, the TV spots feature some of the state’s great COUPON faces sharing their own stories. Those featured in the new commercials include Mount Rushmore National Memorial Superintendent Cheryl Schreier and Chief of Interpretation Blaine Kortemeyer; Sandi Vojta, co-owner of Prairie Berry Winery and Miner Brewing; and Chris Hanmer, CH Patisserie owner and world champion pastry chef.
