A few weeks ago, part of our elite processing crew competed in the Beef Empire Days Cattle Working Contest. This was only their second year competing and they managed to bring home second place, with only a few seconds difference versus the first place team.

The contest began with 18 separate 4 member teams from multiple feedyards working cattle in their own barns. The top 5 teams from the preliminaries were then invited to BEEF BELT, LLC in Scott City to work a set of cattle in a new (and unfamiliar) processing barn.
Teams were judged on animal handling, technique and administration of vaccines, dewormer, and implants, and the use of facilities and equipment.

Our guys did a great job and are already preparing to WIN next year's contest with 2 teams to compete!

Ford County is proud to have a great processing crew taking care of cattle.

Did you know this? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Feedyards often use byproducts from other industries - turning what would otherwise be waste into high-quality beef.

Congratulations to Tracy & Yvonne Brunner on Being Named 2026 Stockmen of the Year ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ„

Weโ€™re proud to share that Tracy and Yvonne Brunner were recently honored as the 2026 Stockmen of the Year at the 55th Annual Stockmenโ€™s Dinner, hosted by the K-State Department of Animal Sciences and Industry in partnership with LMIC on March 5, 2026, in Manhattan, Kansas.

Tracy and Yvonne represent generations of dedication to agriculture. Based in the western Flint Hills near Ramona, Kansas, they have built a respected farming, grazing, and feeding operation while remaining deeply involved in the cattle industry. Over the years they have operated cattle and beef businesses, worked as ranchers and cattle feeders, and recently joined ownership in Ford County Feeders.

Beyond their own operation, Tracy and Yvonne have remained active in industry leadership, supporting organizations such as the Kansas Beef Council, Kansas Livestock Association, and the National Cattlemenโ€™s Beef Association, serving on committees and contributing to the advancement of the beef industry.

Their commitment to agriculture, family, and the cattle industry makes them truly deserving of this recognition. Please join us in congratulating Tracy and Yvonne on this well-earned honor ๐Ÿ‘
