Our Practices
We are raising quality Nebraska beef.
Doing something right takes time.
At our ranch, we strive to be the best. Our land is not just a resource, it's a part of our heritage that we are dedicated to preserving for future generations. We are committed to leaving the land in a better state than when we found it. This is why we implement a range of practices, such as rotational grazing, no-till, managing biodiversity, and integrative pest management, to ensure we are responsible land stewards.
Our priority is ensuring the cattle are healthy and cared for. Our cattle are hormone-free Black Angus Artisian cattle born and raised on our ranch in the open range of the Nebraska Sandhills and then finished on a high-quality corn-based ration produced at our farm in Northeast Nebraska.
At our ranch, we are not just a beef supplier but part of your community. We are a no-source operation, meaning we are involved in every aspect of these animals' lives. They are born, raised, finished, and locally marketed to our surrounding communities. Our consumers must know exactly where their beef comes from and how they were raised, fostering a sense of trust and connection.
Doing something right takes time. That is why Loup River Beef is aged for 28 days! This process takes extra time and results in less product, but it's worth it in tenderness and flavor. Taste the difference for yourself!
