About Witte Belted Beef.
Commitment to the animals, the land, and our customers.
Witte Belted Beef has been a dream of mine since 2008. It all began with a family fishing trip to Canada. I was completely taken aback by Canada’s beautiful scenery and the wide-open fields of Canola. The bright yellow flowers were so vibrant! As we drove along, we came across a pasture full of the most exquisite cows I had ever seen. The cows were jet black with a large band of pure white going around their bellies. I squealed out, "Oreo cows!” This was my first encounter with Belted Galloways. It was absolutely love at first sight. I told my husband, Chipper, at that very moment that I WILL own a herd of "Oreo" cows one day.
Fast forward 11 years and the stars finally aligned. I found a farm in Kansas that raised registered purebred Belted Galloways. I had searched for Belts throughout the years, but had never found any close to home. After several phone calls and a visit to their farm, Chipper and I decided to take the plunge. In December of 2019, we brought home our first herd of Belted Galloways. It was the best day unloading them at home knowing that my dream had finally come true. I am beyond thankful for Chipper’s support in this endeavor. Raising cattle is truly a labor of love and being able to do this with your best friend makes it even better. We are beyond excited to introduce Witte Belted Beef to the world!

Our whys make the difference
Why Belted Galloways?
Belted Galloways are a premium breed of beef cattle, and provide a lean, yet tender and flavorful meat.
Why grass-fed, grain-finished?
Grain-finishing maximizes marbling, and marbling maximizes flavor and texture, offering beef that is “melt-in-your-mouth” tender.
Why direct to consumers?
By selling directly to consumers, we can provide premium beef for a low, affordable price per pound, and you know exactly where your beef comes from and how it was raised. It’s a win-win.
Our commitment to a happy herd
We put our heart and soul into raising our herd. Our cows are our passion and life blood, and we are committed to keeping them happy and healthy.
