Together, they raise Angus, Red Angus and Charolais cattle.  Their ranch is located on Kim's family's 120-year-old homestead and Taylor, Cade and Payton represent the fifth generation to work on the land.


February is Beef Lover's Month

February is a month dedicated to expressing love and America has spoken...you love beef!

In this month of romance, beef is the preferred choice of Americans (62%) because nothing says love like a great steak dinner for Valentine's Day or any other day!

Only beef delivers the satisfaction, variety, nutrition and value that your family loves, in ways that fit today's healty lifestyles. On average, a 3-ounce serving of lean beef is only 154 calories yet a naturally rich source of 10 essential nutrients - including protein, zinc, iron and B-vitamins - that are needed for a healthy, active lifestyle. Choline, one of the 10 essential nutrients found in beef, may play a role in breaking down homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood that may be associated with increased risk of heart disease.
