Our principles

The success of Beef Northwest rests on five guiding principles:

Commitment to people

Our team is comprised of some of the best people in all of agriculture. We want them to excel, to challenge themselves, to grow personally and professionally, and we work hard at providing them with a safe and productive environment in which to excel. Working together, we produce high-quality, safe and nutritious beef for our friends and neighbors across America and around the globe.

Commitment to community

Beef Northwest recognizes that the ranchers and farmers that we are proud to call our customers comprise a vast community of people whose highest purpose is securing the economic sustainability of farming and ranching across the West.

Commitment to the environment

We recognize that we derive our living from natural resources and our future depends on effective stewardship of land, water and air. We also acknowledge that consumers depend on us to protect the environment and to embrace conservation as a way of producing healthy and nutritious food products.

Commitment to customers

Ultimately, feeding cattle is a business, and we invest heavily in ensuring our customers achieve profitable results from feeding cattle with us. We offer a wide array of financing, marketing and risk management services and combine these services with top-flight expertise on our team. We also work with a wide array of customers, from small family ranches to large investors, and are committed equally to the success of both.

Commitment to innovation and food safety

Beef Northwest is an industry leader in the implementation and execution of source- and process-verification as well as Beef Quality Assurance. Our commitment to food quality is more than just words; we have a verifiable, documented system in place to prove it.

Beef Northwest gives generously to local charities that support youth development and education as well as the underprivileged in our community.

Beef Northwest conducts business locally as much as possible because we believe a strong local economy is good for all of us who live here.
