Outtabox Ranch

Outtabox Ranch breeds Normande cattle in Hay Springs, NE, in the Nebraska Sandhills near Scottsbluff. The operation follows established best practices and participates in registry programs to maintain traceable bloodlines. The herd undergoes regular health screenings and follows guidelines set by breed associations to ensure robust genetics and sound structure.

Animals graze freely on native prairie grasses and receive daily handling to promote gentle temperaments and socialization from an early age. As a dual-purpose breed, Normande cattle here are selected for well-marbled beef and steady milk production, with balanced conformation that suits both small farms and larger operations. The ranch relies on pasture-based systems, diverse forage rotations and long-standing family techniques to foster soil health and environmental stewardship.

A local rancher noted reliable weight gains and appreciated the herd’s even temperament during field visits. Calves are weaned on-site and offered shelter in weather-resistant barns during harsh winter months.
