Open Range Beef
Gordon, NE
From the wide-open rangelands of the Nebraska Sandhills, Open Range Beef is doing something rare in the American beef industry: raising cattle the right way, at real scale, without cutting corners.
Headquartered in Gordon, Nebraska — right in the heart of America’s beef country — Open Range Beef operates the largest dedicated organic beef harvest facility in North America. But size hasn’t come at the expense of standards. Every animal they raise is USDA Certified Organic, verified annually by Oregon Tilth, one of the most respected independent organic certifiers in the country. They also meet the rigorous food safety standards of SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification, a benchmark trusted by the world’s leading retailers and food producers.
What does “organic” really mean for these cattle? It means no antibiotics, ever. No synthetic growth hormones. A diet of grasses, legumes, and forages grown on certified organic pastures — never sprayed with pesticides or herbicides. And critically, it means continuous access to pasture. Where a commodity feedlot might crowd 450 head onto a single acre, an Open Range Beef animal has a full acre of pasture space to roam.
Their network of over 240 American family farm and ranch suppliers is the backbone of the operation. Every animal is traced back to birth, through a fully documented, third-party verified chain of custody from pasture to processing. That traceability isn’t just a marketing claim; it’s an audited, certifiable system that holds every partner in the supply chain accountable.
