It’s finally calving season on our family farm, and we’ve welcomed three healthy calves so far!
We don’t run a large cow-calf operation—our herd is small—but that makes these moments feel even more special. There’s nothing quite like watching those first wobbly steps, hearing a mama cow call out to her calf, and witnessing new life begin right here on our land.
Right now, we raise a handful of calves ourselves and purchase most of our calves at weaning from trusted partner ranches. They do an incredible job raising strong, healthy animals, and we’re proud to work with them to bring you high-quality, dry-aged Nebraska beef.
Whether it’s a calf born on our farm or one raised by our partner ranch, every animal is cared for with the same values—respect, attention to detail, and a whole lot of Nebraska pride.
We appreciate you following along with us and supporting farm families like ours!
While some fields around here are already planted, many farmers are just getting rolling. Over the next few weeks, tractors will be out in full force putting in soybeans and corn.
But before that happens, there’s a lot of prep—checking equipment, fixing things up, and watching the weather like a hawk. The soil has to be warm enough, and the forecast needs to cooperate. Timing is everything.
Even while calving season is still happening for some ranchers, many are already thinking ahead. Breeding season prep begins now—choosing bulls that will strengthen their herds for the future.
At Oak Barn Beef, we put a lot of thought into genetics and selection—whether it’s the calves we raise or the ones we purchase. We’re always working to ensure we’re offering beef that meets the high standards you expect from us.
Spring is here, and with it comes new life, big plans, and plenty of hard work. We’re ready for the season ahead—and grateful to have you along for the ride.
Thanks for being part of the Oak Barn Beef story!
When ordering premium beef online, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Why is Oak Barn Beef shipped frozen?” Some may wonder if frozen beef is as good as the fresh beef found at the grocery store. The truth is, freezing beef locks in freshness, preserves quality, and ensures a safe and delicious product—making it the best way to enjoy farm-to-table beef.
