Land and Cattle

The Chain Ranch is full of tradition and history dating back to 1893 when Oscar Chain traded fifty dollars and a shotgun for a quarter section,160 acres, in Dewey County, Oklahoma. Since that trade, the Chain Ranch has developed into a seven generation owned and operated family business, with four ranches in Oklahoma, three in Kansas and several leased properties in both states.

The Ranch runs in excess of 4,500 mother cows, in which all of the weaned calves are kept and marketed as fat cattle. We handle approximately 7,000 to 8,000 stocker calves on grass and wheat pasture. We also raise a large portion of our bulls which are Limousin and Angus. The genetic integrity of our herd is maintained through our selective AI breeding program.  The quality of our beef is evidenced in the manner inwhich we go to market.  The vast majority of our cattle are marketed through Coleman's Natural Beef, ensuring an all-natural product with no trace of antibiotics or hormones.

The ranch farms approximately 10,000 acres of wheat, alfalfa and feed in Oklahoma and Kansas.  In addition to these traditional crops, we are now incorporating canola, millet, and milo into our crop rotations.

Lastly, we believe that our ranch is truly a gift from God.  We're here to be good stewards of this land until he decides to take it back.
