a family of five ranching in the Nebraska Sandhills. We're a first generation operation sourcing our knowledge and work ethic from our fifth generation roots. We're proud of where we started and what we've built.

We're the kovariks - 

A Family operation rooted in passion + Hard work

Luke, Natalie, Tad, Jaks + Rue 

and over the past 14 years have grown the original herd in both size and scope. In 2015 we bought our first set of registered cows and a year later sold our first set of registered bulls.

Our operation is truly a family business. Most days are spent with kids in tow out in a dusty ranger or out in pasture on horseback, and despite the many challenges we wouldn’t have it any other way. It is our belief that the pursuit of Agriculture is a vocation rich in ways beyond money, and for that we are thankful to call this lifestyle ours.

MEET THE CREW

Since he was little Luke has always known he wanted to run cattle. Upon graduating from UNL (Go Big Red) in 2009 with a masters in ruminant nutrition, he returned home to Ord and quickly seized any opportunities he could to lease cattle from neighbors while simultaneously beginning the slow and tedious process of acquiring land. Within 8 years he was able to build what our current operation is today.
