Big thanks to the Farm4Profit team for having us on their podcast at CattleCon in Nashville!
We had a great conversation sharing the story behind Witte Beef and how we continue building a family-run cattle operation focused on quality and consistency.
We appreciate the opportunity to share our story — go give it a listen 👏
Recorded live at the John Deere booth during CattleCon in Nashville, this Farm4Profit Farm4Fun episode brings you inside the story of Witte Beef Cattle Co. from Troy, Missouri. Conrad and Chad walk us through a family operation that dates back to the 1940s and has evolved into one of the most impressive cattle programs in the country.
We dig into how the family scaled the business across cattle feeding, trucking, and livestock marketing, and how that foundation still shapes the operation today. From sourcing and feeding to genetics and finishing, Witte Beef shares how they consistently produce high quality Angus beef that rivals top steakhouses.
You will hear how their monoslope barns are designed for animal comfort, why they intentionally stock below capacity, and how nutrition and stress management impact marbling and performance. We also talk about growing nearly all their own feed, their transition to John Deere equipment, and the logistics behind feeding cattle at scale.
Billy Bob joins the conversation to add perspective from the equipment side, and together we connect the dots between technology, management, and profitability. This episode is a deep look at what it really takes to raise premium beef and sustain a multigenerational operation.
