Q&A with The Kleiboekers
We truly care about our role in helping cattle convert plants we can not eat into the best source of protein for the human diet. We strive daily to be ever better care takers of our cattle and the land and forages we we are responsible for. We hope it all culminates into a great tasting, nutritious and satisfying beef meal for you and your family!
