Grass-Fed Beef and Pasture-Raised Meats for Omaha & Lincoln, Nebraska
Thank you for your interest in our grass-fed meats and sustainable ranching. Pawnee Pride has served Nebraska families for decades with grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, lamb, bison, free-range chickens, turkeys, and farm-fresh free-range eggs.
What Makes Pawnee Pride Grass-Fed Beef Different
At Pawnee Pride, we've built our ranching approach on what Allen Nation, editor of The GrassFarmer, called "unfair advantages" -- unique strengths that set our meats apart.
Our "Unfair" Advantages
1. A Healthy, Natural, Tallgrass Prairie Location
Our first advantage is our land. Pawnee Pride sits close enough to Omaha and Lincoln to be convenient, yet far enough to avoid the pressures of urbanization. Even more importantly, our ranch is blessed with an abundance of virgin tallgrass prairie -- a landscape known for producing deeply nutritious forage and, in turn, exceptionally nutrient-dense grass-fed beef and pasture-raised meats.
2. A Heritage of Ranching & Stewardship
Our second advantage is our background. The Rohrbaugh family brings together generations of experience in ranching, forestry, land management, grocery, and professional meat cutting. This combination of skills has shaped the way we raise pasture-raised pork, chicken, turkey, and eggs, along with our signature grass-fed beef.
3. Over 35 Years on the Land
Our third advantage is experience. For more than 35 years, we've watched our land evolve -- from a diversified family farm to a grass-farm, and today into a thriving ranch known for pasture-raised, grass-fed beef and pasture-raised pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, and bison. We've grown alongside the local food movement, listening to customers and refining our processes for over 25 years.
Our Approach to Healthy, Humane, Pasture-Based Ranching
We view our ranch as a complete grassland food chain -- from soil organisms to the families who enjoy our meat. Each part of that system must be nourished to produce truly healthy food.
Building Soil Through Diversity and Holistic Grazing
Our stewardship begins with the soil. By encouraging plant diversity and using managed animal impact, we:
- stimulate soil life
- restore organic matter
- increase water-holding capacity
- improve forage quality and nutrition
This regenerative cycle directly benefits the quality of our grass-fed beef and all of our pasture-raised meats.
Selecting Animals That Thrive on Grass
Next, we carefully choose heritage breeds known for their hardiness, thriftiness, and exceptional flavor. These animals utilize nutrient-rich prairie forage to produce the kind of meat that pasture-based ranching is known for.
Local, Family-Operated Processing
Finally, our animals are harvested and processed in nearby, family-run facilities -- ensuring humane handling, low stress, and the highest possible product quality.

Is your meat hormone and antibiotic free?
Yes. Our animals are raised naturally on pasture without added hormones or routine antibiotics. Antibiotics are only used when medically necessary to ensure the health and welfare of the animal.
Is pasture-raised meat environmentally sustainable?
We believe that when done responsibly, pasture-based ranching can support a healthy and sustainable environment. Our approach focuses on building soil health, encouraging diverse plant growth, and managing grazing in a way that works with natural systems.
Well-managed grazing helps stimulate grass growth and return nutrients to the soil. Healthy, actively growing pasture can improve soil structure, increase water retention, and contribute to long-term land health.
Our goal is simple: to raise animals in a way that respects the land, supports the ecosystem, and provides nourishing food for the families we serve.
