Formed in 1991 by fifth-generation Oregon ranchers, Beef Northwest is one of the Northwest’s largest cattle feeding and backgrounding operations, with a total, one-time capacity of 95,000 head at three feedyards.

These feedyards are located in Boardman, Ore., Nyssa, Ore., and Quincy, Wash.

The company also has extensive grazing operations for cows and calves as well as feeder cattle across the northwest United States.

Tracing its roots to the 1870s when the Wilson family first purchased property in the Baker Valley of eastern Oregon, the operation is committed to community, environmental quality and its customers.

Beef Northwest believes the future of cattle production depends on the development of new markets for cattle both here and abroad and that changes in consumer preferences should be embraced as opportunities, not resisted as challenges.

The company plays a key role in producing beef for a wide array of consumer-focused efforts, everything from Country Natural Beef to Certified Angus Beef.
