Located in Ogallah, KS, Native Prairie Beef Genetics is solely family-owned and operated by the Nilhas Family: Tyrel, Breanne, Adalyn, Aubree, Addisyn, and Ainsley. Our 3rd generation operation was started in the 1950s by my grandfather, who set a strong foundation for our commercial herd by being progressive and well ahead of his time. Today we take pride in raising Angus and Balancer cattle that are powerful, proven, and profitable from the ground up. We have recently branched out into balancers, hoping to produce cattle that will boost our customers in the commercial industry. Our commercial and registered herds are run side-by-side with the same principles, expectations, and standards. With that being said, they are raised in a truly commercial setting. I started my herd in 2003 and over the years we have brought in top donors and sires with profitability, efficiency, and maternal power at the forefront of our breeding decisions. Today my father still runs a large single-person operation of grain and forage production and an elite commercial cow herd that our program has been built around. Along with a small grain farming operation, custom farming venture, and commercial/registered cow herd, I am also a lineman. This has its fair share of challenges, but one great thing about it is the cows are built to work as hard as we do. Our cattle are never pampered while expected to perform with no exceptions. We are excited about the road we are headed on with our program.
