Hansen Angus Ranch Meadow at Sunrise

About Our Nebraska Cattle Ranch

The Hansen Angus Ranch is owned by Lawrence Hansen. Lawrence and Jeannie live in North Platte, Nebraska and he visits the ranch often to help with the duties of running a large angus cattle herd. Their eldest son, Tom, runs his own farm/ranch operation south of North Platte near Wellfleet with his wife and kids. Lawrence and Jeannie's daughter Tammy, along with her husband, live and work in North Platte and both enjoy writing in their spare time. Hansen Angus Ranch is managed and maintained by Lawrence and Jeannie's youngest son, Travis. Travis is married with two daughters and he is committed to doing all that is possible to create quality market cattle and bull sires.

With the help hired hands, and support and help from family and neighbors, their cattle ranch operation continues to prosper and produce quality raised beef cattle, bull sires and herd replacements.

Annually, they raise and sell Registered Yearling Black Angus Bulls at the North Platte Livestock Auction. Their sale is typically in early March. If you would like to be on their catalog mailing list use the form on the contact page and they will make sure you become a part of their yearly bull catalog mailing list. You can also catch their bull sales via DVauction.com.

The Hansen Angus Ranch steer crop sells on satellite broadcast by Superior Livestock Auction in the fall. Lawrence and Travis have sold their calves this way for several years, and typically top the market each year because of the quality of calves they produce. In the past, they had a committed, private buyer that bought their steer calf crop sometimes sight unseen, for 16 years until his retirement.

The cattle ranch also sells their raised heifer calf crop in the late winter months, and have sold them both privately and/or through North Plate Livestock Auction. Each year they have satisfied buyers and also keep many of their own heifers back as replacements in their own cattle herd on their central Nebraska ranch.

AngusSource® Steer Crop...

  • AngusSource® Steer Calf Crop

    "AngusSource® is a USDA Process Verified Program for Angus-sired calves that documents source, group age and a minimum of 50% Angus genetics." -angussource.org

    Currently only our steer calf crop are currently enrolled in the program.

  • Steers Raised with NO Growth Hormone Implants

    With the rising concern of overuse of antibiotics in animal production, we are doing our part in producing feed cattle that are more natural. We have been raising our yearly steer crop with a natural approach for several years, although we are not Certified Natural. NO growth hormone implants are used in our steers, and if we use antibiotics in our steer market calves it is on an as needed basis and well documented for our purchasers.

  • Our Committment to Raising more Natural Steer Calves

    As proof to our responsibility to our consumers, a couple of years ago Meyer Natural Angus liked the looks and records of our steer calf crop a feed lot that bought from us that fall. Meyer Natural Angus is truly committed to providing natural beef with no compromises. They came to our Ranch and spent the day watching and observing our treatment of the animals and the process in which we raise them. It was an honor to have a company that is that committed to producing quality natural beef for the consumer visit our ranch!

    While we feel antibiotic use of some sort is necessary to maintaining a healthy herd, and to prevent massive loss of cattle, we work towards keeping our feeder beef crop more natural each year.
