Nebraska is one of America's premier cattle states. The Sandhills region — a vast grass-covered dune sea in north-central Nebraska — raises some of the finest cow-calf operations in the country, and the state's feedlots and packing plants process more beef than almost any other state. That cattle culture creates exceptional access to locally sourced beef across Nebraska.
