402 Beef runs Black Angus steers on river-bottom grass along the Niobrara, finishing them at about 15 months and processing at a USDA-inspected locker. You can fill a freezer with a quarter, half, or whole, or buy a package or two at a time like a grocery run.
Two things stand out. They ship to all fifty states, and they’re one of the few direct-from-ranch sellers that accept EBT and SNAP benefits — which says something about who they’re actually trying to feed. Call ahead if you’re picking up at the farm off Highway 281 between O’Neill and Spencer.
