About Us

West Fork Ranch is located in Loup City, right in the heart of Nebraska, between the sand hills and the Platte Valley. We have a great balance of rich farmland as well as some great native pastures.

West Fork Ranch is a family-owned and run ranch that is dedicated to raising cattle that excel in performance, as well as keeping maternal traits intact, utilizing the vast resources for maximum efficiency, and adding more to everyone's bottom line.

Henry and Eleanor Wilson, along with their daughter Roseann, run 500 purebred and commercial cows on their 10,000-acre farm and ranch. The purebred Charolais herd was started 17 years ago. Henry went out and bought some very high-powered cows to build the foundation that the herd is derived from today. Six years ago, Henry saw the potential of complementing the Charolais herd with a registered Red Angus herd. Through the acquisition of some foundation cows in the Panhandle Cattle Co herd and embryo transfer, the herd became a reality. Angus hybrid cows make up the majority of the commercial herd that produces cattle that we send to the feedlot for carcass testing, as well as the occasional club calf.
