K & K Grass-Fed Beef
Raising the "steaks" on grass-fed beef!
Meet "K & K"
Katelynn and Kristian are the couple who work incredibly hard to bring you K & K Grass-Fed Beef. We are cattle ranchers who have a passion to provide our local communities with the healthiest and highest quality beef; while also bringing regeneration and preservation to the land, air, water, and ecosystem. Our cattle herd is an integral part of the regenerative agriculture that we practice, and it enables us to preserve lush Wisconsin prairie grassland in its original native state. Good for the cattle, good for wildlife, and good for the earth!
Kristian is a 5th generation and lifelong farmer and rancher, and Katelynn is a certified holistic health coach who enjoys guiding people into their best health. K & K both have a passion to bring healing to people, the earth, the human-animal relationship, and the ecosystem. Being able to work together while nourishing others with our beef is one of our favorite parts about what we do!

Beyond Organic
Although we are not certified organic by the USDA, we consider the quality of our beef beyond organic- the way nature intended, prior to human intervention. Our cattle graze freely on mineral-rich native prairie grassland that is organically managed (and has never been farmed). We treat our cattle and their pastureland ecosystem with the care and respect that both deserve. Our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished; it is free of antibiotics, added hormones, and pesticides; and it's 100% humanely harvested right on our own pastures.
Family Owned & Operated
Our farm has been family owned and operated for over 100 years. We are a small 5th generation family of farmers and cattlemen. At K & K Grass-Fed Beef we are original from start to finish; full circle. We hand select our own breeding bulls and mother cows to breed naturally on open pastures. Our mother cows then calve naturally on pasture each spring. The mother cows raise their own calf until weaning age (8 months), and we finish raising a select bunch of calves until they are fit for humane harvesting. The rest of the calves from our large cattle herd get sold to separate local farmers as all natural beef cows. Our select K & K Grass-Fed Beef steers and heifers are humanely harvested on the beautiful pastures that they were born and raised on.
Humanely Field Harvested
We treat our cattle with compassion, dignity, kindness, and respect from their conception, birth, throughout their life, and up to the very moment of harvesting. Our cattle aren't shipped off to a slaughterhouse to be harvested. At harvest time they are never filled with the fear, high amounts of stress, and suffering that other cattle may experience in slaughterhouses. We carefully and professionally harvest our cattle right in the fields; no fear, no pain, no stress, no suffering! This creates exceptional beef that is tender, slightly sweet, ridiculously delicious, and the very healthiest; all without the hardening adrenaline, cortisone-like secretions, and steroids (from fear pheromone production) found in slaughterhouse meat.
Sustainably Raised
Our cattle roam freely amongst spacious Southwest Wisconsin native prairie pastures. They graze on the land's nutrient-dense grasses, naturally growing herbs, and occasional fallen apples from field-growing apple trees. Their grazing patterns regenerate the pastureland fields; greatly increasing the level of biodiversity within the ecosystem. By raising cattle naturally on pasture, we're not only bringing life back to a threatened ecosystem, we are keeping prairie pastureland intact with carbon stored safely underground. Our pastures provide a safe and virtually untouched-by-man habitat for many different types of wildlife with all parts of the ecosystem respected.
