Our Rancher Alliances


We Begin With Superior American Midwest Cattle

Our success starts in the heart of cattle country, the American Midwest, where National Beef® has cultivated relationships with leading farmers and ranchers for over 20 years. These suppliers have been stewards of their land and cattle for decades, passing down their experience, wisdom, and history from generation to generation.

Our strategically located processing plants in Southwest Kansas have allowed us to establish partnerships with these distinguished ranchers, including U.S. Premium Beef members. These unique relationships have provided us access to some of the highest-quality cattle.

We Maintain A Higher Standard

Through our longstanding partnerships and alliances, we work with dedicated ranchers and feeders. These producers honor their American heritage of producing the highest-quality cattle by continually striving to enhance their animal care, nutrition, environmental and cattle genetics practices. At National Beef, we’re committed to helping our partners preserve that tradition of excellence as we support them in improving the quality and consistency of our cattle supply.
