WELCOME

   The KEG Hereford Ranch is a family operation located north of Valentine, NE just off the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills. We have been raising Hereford and Hereford-Angus cross cows here for over 40 years.

   The cowherd consists of registered Hereford and Red Angus cows as well as a commercial herd of Hereford-Angus cross cows. Our focus is on raising efficient, low maintenance cattle that will maximize profits for both the cow-calf producer and the feedlot while still providing a quality product for the end consumer.

​

   At KEG Hereford Ranch we combine traditional animal husbandry with the latest in animal science, common sense cowboy logic, and the latest technology.  In addition to utilizing typical weight measurements (plus a few extras), ultrasound, DNA technology, and feedlot data, our yearling bull are also tested for feed efficiency (RFI) each year.

  We believe in cross breeding, especially the Hereford-Angus cross. Our simple two breed crisscross system gives us a high quality mother cow by maintaining a high level of heterosis. These cows raise steers that consistently finish in the top third for net profit in the feedlot.
