Welcome to the Ebersole Ranch family
Experience Healthy HAPPY Beef from
the rolling hills of Southern Iowa
Hello from the
Ebersole Family
We are a family operated ranch located outside of Kellerton, Iowa. Beau’s family raised Maine’s since the 1970s, and he and Shanen started their operation in 1998 with the purchase of ten cows. What started then has grown into a family affair, and Adelyda, Jolene and Wyatt have grown up in the beef industry.
We have around 150 mother cows. We raise Maine-Anjou cattle. Maine's were originally developed in the Maine and Anjou river valleys of France. They are prized for being great mothers and their superior beef.
Products are unavailable at the moment.
Don't worry, they'll be popping up soon with a surprise.
Just a few of our happy customers...
"Fueling my body the right way."
“As someone who takes health and fitness seriously, I’m very intentional about what I put into my body. Finding beef from a family-operated farm has been a game changer. I know it’s raised with care, without shortcuts or unnecessary additives, and I can feel the difference in both taste and quality.
It’s reassuring to know exactly where my food comes from and to trust the hands that raised it. Choosing this beef isn’t just about flavor—it’s about fueling my body the right way.”
- Tiffany Trusty
"Helping them stay energized for their sport."
"As busy parents of three, we’re always looking for quick, healthy meals that will fuel our kids—who are athletes—with the right kind of protein. The beef from this farm has been a game changer for us.
The cuts are lean, flavorful, and cook up quickly—perfect for throwing on the grill after practice or browning for a weeknight dinner. We love knowing it’s clean, natural, and raised the right way without all the additives you find in store-bought meat. Not only do we feel good feeding it to our kids, but we know it’s helping them stay strong and energized for their sports.
It’s rare to find food that checks every box—healthy, delicious, convenient, and something our kids actually eat without complaint. This beef is now a staple in our weekly meal rotation."
- Brad and Courtney Leyshon
"The way beef used to taste."
“I’m a guy who loves to fire up the grill and nothing says America like a good burger, some ribs, or a slow-smoked brisket. I’ve tried plenty of store-bought beef, but nothing compares to the cuts I get from this farm.
The flavor takes me back to the way beef used to taste—rich, hearty, and natural. When I throw their brisket on the smoker or toss some ribs on the grill, I know I’m serving my family real meat, raised the right way.
For me, grilling isn’t just about dinner—it’s about tradition, gathering the family, and keeping things simple and true. This beef checks every box. It’s the kind of meat you’re proud to serve and the kind that reminds you why we call it the All-American meal.”
- Caleb and Kara Marcum

FAQ
Why buy directly from a farm?
When you buy meat directly from our farm, you’re choosing food that has not been pushed through massive factories, handled by countless machines, or exposed to unnecessary metals and chemicals. The truth is, the meat industry is changing—and not for the better.
Most grocery store meat today is packed with preservatives, additives, and treatments that do more harm to your body than good. On our farm, we raise beef the way it was meant to be: naturally, with no additives, no hormones, and no shortcuts. We also personally know the trusted people who process our beef, so we always know exactly where your food has been.
With the culture shifting toward factory shortcuts and even lab-grown alternatives, the real question becomes: why would you settle for anything less than fresh, wholesome beef straight from the farm?
Where is your farm located?
We are located in Kellerton, Iowa the beef capital of the US.
Will this fit in my freezer?
See chart for recommended freezer capacity for storing different amounts of beef—from 1/8 beef needing about 2.5 cubic feet (or 1 shelf) to a whole beef requiring about 20 cubic feet of freezer space.
How do you raise your animals?
During summer months our cows graze in pasture, and we provide hay in the winter months that we have grown right in our own fields. We make sure they are healthy and peaceful as they grow. Our kids love to pet them and help move them into different pastures. It is a true family endeavor.
Is there assistance with online ordering?
We provide any assistance needed. Never bought online beef? I'm Shanen and you can email me [email protected] call me directly at 515.971.8462, and I will walk you through the process myself.

When will I receive my order?
