The market may be more focused on external factors than what's bullishly developed over the last decade, but thus far, nothing has changed the market's promising fundamentals.

Happy Fourth of July from the wheat fields of Kansas.

Most wheat farmers have amber waves of grain….this year we have an amber ‘carpet’ of grain!! When we farm and ranch, we are constantly trying to improve ~ and may do things that are unconventional at times. But, we also know that if we take care of the land, soils and crops….they will take care of us (along with our faith in God and lots of prayers).

We plow, cultivate, take soil samples, plant and fertilize. We study the seeds types, determine planting populations and calculate how the field should produce. The rest is in God’s hands. It rains, the sun shines, storms and wind roll in, and the plant continues to grow in the current environment. As we watched our fields filled with beautiful waves of grain….we also watched them fall over into a carpet and lay down due to the weight of the heads. Farmers would give us their opinion….shouldn’t have fertilized. Crop adjusters came out to determine what yield they would pay but we would have to burn the crop. But we took a chance on our wheat…even though people thought we were crazy! It has rained so much that parts of our fields still have water standing in them…so we had to rent tracks to put on the combine so we could keep going! The coop wants to open at 10 and close at 5…definitely not farmer hours…but we keep going to harvest our crop. We aren’t your typical wheat farmers…we aren’t your typical anything as we keep thinking outside the box and pushing ourselves to learn more and do more. Not sure if we will do the same process next year …and the old time farmers can keep watching, laughing and telling us what we should or shouldn’t do….but all our work and prayers have blessed us this year …. even though we had a carpet instead of waves of grain. We will be celebrating 4th of July in the combine so we can continue to be in the proud but small percentage of people that work to feed the world!

God said, "I need somebody…..who, planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, and then pain’n from tractor back, put in another seventy-two hours"

-- so God made a Farmer

Is your freezer looking a little empty? Our beef is back in stock!!!

Our hormone free, Waygu/Angus cross, ground beef is now available to you. Waygu beef can be considered heart heathy due to its high content of monounsaturated fats, including oleic acid, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health. Wagyu also contains beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and other essential fatty acids that can contribute to overall health.

From our ranch to your freezer. Message us to order or purchase from the Brandin’ Iron on Main street in Florence (better hurry because we sell out fast)!

Good Friday
a day like no other
a day that heaven and hell collided

as we burned pastures during this Holy Week, so many thoughts, emotions and analogies came to the surface

a week that represents teachings, prophecies, betrayal and trials makes us pause to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice

burning in the Flint Hills is a good representation of our life with Christ

life is temporal, there will be suffering and in this we will change

it is in the darkest of night that you can see the beauty of the light from the fire burning across the hills

and it is in our darkest struggles and sufferings that we grow towards Christ as He is our Light and Savior

new growth in the Flint Hills will be visible in a matter of days after burning, but it may take weeks, months or even years to see the beauty that comes from our ashes as we walk and grow in Christ

when we burn we try to control as many factors as possible so the fire does not spread and get out of hand

but walking in a life of Christ you have to give up that control and trust that He will lead you in the path of righteousness

as we approach Easter Sunday we pray that you accept His invitation of getting rid of the old and begin new in Him

from our family to yours......Happy Easter!!!

THIS is why we burn, spray pastures, and cut trees on our land. The Flint Hills is slowly (or actually not so slowly) being taken over by woody species. Anyone that wants to have land in the country…regardless of size…needs to do their part to be good stewards of the land!

So thankful to have had the opportunity to represent our ranch and restaurant at this conference! Great experience for anyone interested in learning more about the Angus industry.

We just cut into our Angus x Akaushi beef! This is taking the grilling experience to an entirely different level! We have beef available at Alta Vista Meat Co. if you would like a side or quarter! Send us a message if you’re interested! It’s time to fill your freezer for the summer grilling season!
……….
Akaushi are known worldwide for their distinct marbling that gives Akaushi beef a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, buttery flavor.

The high-fat content in Akaushi cattle leaves less room for muscle fiber and collagen, making the beef notably more tender than other breeds. It also contains a higher concentration of monounsaturated fat relative to saturated fat, which the American Heart Association notes can lead to lower cholesterol, the prevention of coronary heart disease and weight loss.

In addition, the high amount of oleic acid found in Akaushi beef gives it a deep, buttery taste, unlike any other beef on the American market. It provides a truly unique eating experience with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

We are also pleased to announce that customers eating at our restaurant, The Brandin’ Iron can enjoy our home raised beef and purchase some Akaushi ground beef to take home.

It was an honor, once again, to welcome a progressive group of producers from Mexico to the ranch. Sharing our story and desire to raise better beef gives us all a great opportunity to visit and learn from one another. We ended the day at our restaurant The Brandin’ Iron and can’t wait to see them again.

Thank you Jesus Pablo Velazco for including us in your day!

the Flint Hills prairie fire….

years ago, before man settled this land,
lightening would ignite fires and travel the hills

trees and weeds would be halted in their growth,
and the prairies would thrive

man enters and the land could not be plowed,
as an ocean of limestone rests inches under the tall grasses

the rolling hills of grasses have tremendous nutrients for cattle and soon they would travel for miles for some of the best grazing in the world

as ranchers, we are to be managers of the land that God created, stewards to preserve His beauty for future generations

without controlled burns the prairie would be taken over with trees and evasive species

please be patient and understanding as we try to manage the last 4% that remains of this awesome wonder
