Clover Cove Ranch

Clover Cove Ranch Grass-fed from the Nebraska Sandhills. The ranch is currently managed by Jerry and Kathleen Gotschall and family. We are able to ship to all the states.

Our ranch is nestled in the sandhills of north-central Nebraska and has been in the Gotschall family for four generations. We take orders during the grass season for whole, half, and split quarters. One frequently asked question is about our method of selling our beef by hanging weight. The finished product is approximately 50% of hanging weight. We have varying sizes of beef to market, so you sho

uld specify on the order form how much ACTUAL product you will need. To help calculate freezer space, it takes a 12 x 12 x 12 inch space to fit approximately 25 lbs of beef. Our prices are very reasonable, considering the quality of meat that you are purchasing. Our beef is completely grass-fed and finished; there is absolutely no grain in our feed. We are currently scheduling processing with K and H Specialty Meats, Stuart, NE, the same processor who has handled all our business in past years. Rod at K and H will be happy to accommodate the specifications that you have for your personal needs. Call or write for an order form. Typically, we process only during the growing grass season from mid-May through mid-October. Thank you for your interest in our beef!

Welcome Holt Creek Jerseys to Astoria Livestock! We are very excited to have our first producer of dairy cows on board. 🥛

✅Their mission is to produce cattle that make profit on pasture and bulls to make more of them. All of their dairy cows are raised on a bison ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills.

🐄Holt Creek Jerseys has been selectively breeding Grassfed, A2A2, Polled Jersey cattle for utility, fertility, and longevity for over 35 years!
🌱You can be sure their cattle are pasture-proven and 100% grain free. The animals live outdoors and have a forage and roughage diet. In the winter, cows receive stockpiled pasture, native grass hay, native baleage, and alfalfa.

Keep an eye out on AstoriaLivestock.com for upcoming auctions from this incredible regenerative farm!

We stopped pre-dipping our cows for several reasons. Here’s why and what we do instead.

This 22-month-old heifer delivered her first heifer calf at about 3:00, and a half hour later the calf was up and nursing. This type of newborn vigor is what we look for in a ranch dairy cow. Calf sired by our Leonidas-P bull, semen is available on our website.

Clover Cove Ranch is located in the Sandhills of Southwest Holt County, Nebraska in the recharge zone of the pure waters of the Ogallala Aquifer. In this unique and fragile ecosystem, Ben Gotschall, Tammy Austin and their daughter Charlotte take care of a herd of American Bison in addition to their dairy herd, Holt Creek Jerseys, which Ben started as a young boy 36 years ago. They milk their cows seasonally, from April to December on a forage-based diet that consists mainly of rotationally grazing the ranch's native prairie pastures. In addition to producing grass-fed Ghee for local markets, Ben and Tammy sell bison meat as well as A2A2, Polled Grass-fed Jersey genetics and cattle. The ranch is Audubon certified, and takes great care to promote habitat for many species of wild birds. Clover Cove is home to abundant wildlife including migratory waterfowl, turkeys, whitetail and mule deer, coyotes, badgers and beavers. Clover Cove customers can take pride in purchasing these products, knowing that they are supporting the stewardship efforts of the Gotschall family to keep their corner of the Sandhills a wild, abundant and beautiful place for generations to come.
Some of the cows in the herd are sourced from The Woodruff Farm’s annual heifer sale. Because these animals are raised primarily on a forage-based diet, without being pushed with high-energy feeds, they transition smoothly into the ranch’s grazing system. This approach helps develop calm, gentle cows that thrive on pasture and consistently produce the high-quality milk that makes our products unique.
