Our family has been raising cattle for generations, so it's not just a hobby, it is a lively hood. We have raised beef for ourselves and other friends and family for nearly 20 years, so we are not new to raising beef for our consumers. After having years of positive feedback we wanted to give back to our community and offer them the best beef around. We have a mission of raising beef for your family the right way. Our beef is raised on our ranch from birth to harvest, not by someone else and just sold by us. They are raised on pasture and offered free choice grain for the last 3 months. We strive to raise beef that is truly good for you! With 7 of the essential nutrients for a healthy life, beef is truly part of a heart-healthy diet!
The Company is owned and operated by the Brauman and Cremer Families. These families work hand in hand to ensure the daily function of the company. The Brauman family is comprised of Scott and Christine Brauman and their two children Clayton and Callie Brauman. The Cremer family consists of Ernest and Sandra Cremer.
We are proud to be a local family that supports our community. We have several local businesses including Country Feed and General Store, Cremer Wood Inc, and 4C-Timber Inc. Because of our diversification, it's fair to say that we know Agriculture!
