Farmers and ranchers in the Upper Midwest work hard to provide for their families every day - it's a way of life.
At High Plains Premium Beef, we believe in the power of community, transparency, and a deep-seeded commitment to the people who make it all possible - our local cattle producers. Our facility was born out of a need to reshape the beef processing industry shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic. During that challenging time, we witnessed firsthand how
large-scale processors were profiting at the expense of hardworking cattle producers. Their actions created a unique opportunity for us to change that.
Our vision is simple: to build a beef processing facility that will be large enough to make a meaningful impact, yet small enough to maintain control, quality, and strong relationships within the beef industry. At High Plains Premium Beef, we’re not aiming to be just another processor – we’re striving to be a local partner dedicated to delivering locally-sourced beef to consumers while supporting the farmers and ranchers who produce it. By keeping operations close to home, we can ensure that every step of the process reflects our core values: Integrity, Quality, Excellence, Accountability, and Growth.
Integrity will be the foundation of everything we do. From the way we treat our employees to the way we
communicate with our partners, we are committed to doing business the right way – ensuring fair pricing,
honest practices, and transparency at every turn. This approach will not only build trust, but also create a
ripple effect, fostering a positive culture that will extend throughout the entirety of the beef supply chain.
Quality will be woven into every part of our operation, from sourcing to processing and delivery. We
understand that consumers deserve the very best, and that begins with local beef producers – trusted
farmers and ranchers who are committed to maintaining the highest standards in their own operations.
Our USDA-inspected, state-of-the-art facility, will maintain rigorous quality control standards, ensuring that
every cut of beef reflects the consistency that our customers expect.
Excellence will always be a constant pursuit at High Plains Premium Beef. We believe that each animal
we process represents a commitment to superior standards – from handling and care to production and
delivery. Our customers will be able to count on us to provide premium beef that meets the highest
industry standards, each and every time.
Accountability will drive us to take responsibility for every aspect of our operation. Whether it’s the way we
treat our team, the fairness with which we work with our producers, or the consistency of our product, we
will stand behind our actions and decisions. We believe in doing the right thing, even when it’s hard,
ensuring that what we do positively impacts the industry and the marketplace.
Growth is what drives us to continuously evolve. We understand that the world of beef processing is
ever-changing, and we’re dedicated to staying ahead of the curve. From technologies that streamline
processing to creative solutions that will be mutually beneficial for producers and consumers, our goal is
not only to lead within the industry but to help foster growth in our local communities – ensuring that our
business and our partners thrive for years to come.
At High Plains Premium Beef, we’re reimagining what it means to be a leader in local beef processing.
We’re driven by a forward-thinking passion to build stronger relationships, support local businesses, and offer consumers high-quality beef that is locally sourced from like-minded producers. As we continue to move the project forward, we’re looking for partners who share our vision and our values. Together, we can redefine the future of beef processing. A future where everyone in the supply chain reaps the rewards – where integrity, excellence, and quality come first.
