The Ochsner Ranch is a five generation, family run operation. The ranch was started in 1913 by Jacob Ochsner and is now run by his grandson George and wife Ruby, along with sons Blake and Rodney, and son-in-law Steve Roth. The 22,000 acre ranch is located 20 miles north of Torrington, Wyoming, and maintains registered herds of Hereford and Angus cattle, a commercial cow operation and a feedlot.
     The Ochsners are actively involved in all aspects of beef production. An artificial insemination program has been used extensively for 43 years to produce quality, high performing Hereford and Angus bulls. The bulls are selected by analyzing EPD's and using visual appraisal. Emphasis throughout the operation is placed on performance, muscling and moderate birth weights.
     Besides selling bulls annually through private treaty sales, the Ochsners buy and performance test 2,500 head of calves every year. Some of these calves are purchased through a calf buy back program. The Ochsners do not sell a bull that isn't good enough to buy his calves back. Plus, the buy back program gives the customers a chance to market their calves and the ranch a chance to performance test their product.
