Ward Feed Yard, Great Bend Feeding, Barton County Feeders, Dilwyn Feedyard, Knight Feedlot, Roberts Cattle Company, McClymont Feed Yard, Windmill Feeders, and Lewis Feedlot have combined to form one company with one common vision: combining innovation with the passion of our people to empower our rural communities and grow great tasting and sustainable beef.

We believe that individual parts ensure one great family, and each of our feed yards is third party certified in the Progressive Beef quality management system. With the pillars of food safety, animal welfare and sustainability, Progressive Beef provides verified best management practices that ensure that our animals are well cared for and that our beef is raised with integrity. Bi-yearly audits ensure accountability and bring a culture of excellence that permeates our teams.
