A & K Ranch Beefalo Fullblood and Purebred Beefalo breeding stock.
The A & K Ranch is the farming side of the Splitlimb Ranch, in Raymondville, MO. A & K Ranch is located in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, in south central Missouri.
A & K Ranch is owned and operated by Andy and Kelly Dietsch. Andy and Kelly both enjoy working with animals and working in the great outdoors. They raise elk, Beefalo cattle, chickens, hogs (part of the year) and Flemish Giant rabbits. They also grow all their own vegetables in the summer, canning and freezing a variety of their produce. When they have excess, Kelly sells the vegetables at the local Farmer's Markets.
They use a variety of Beefalo bulls, including the use of AI and “Beefalo Foundation” bulls in their breeding program.
They have purchased “foundation bull” semen and other semen from various places. They currently have bloodlines in their herd from the following bulls: Payday, Cork Preacher Man, Geronimo, Rebel Commander and others. We have Fullblood and Purebred Beefalo Breeding stock ranging between 18.5% to 37.4% bison.
We are looking forward to the next few years. We are planning to expand our breeding program with AI (artificial insemination) and also with some hybrid Bison, which should be very exciting.
If you are interested, we can custom raise steers for you. If you have a preference on how they are fed, such as grain fed or grass fed, please contact us. We have the facilities to do both.
