Hague Angus Ranch: Low-Input Cattle, Unique Genetics & Innovation on the Range
In this Spotlight Series episode, host Scott Beck sits down with Josh Freiberger at Hague Angus Ranch to explore a truly unique approach to raising cattle. Josh shares how the ranch has developed a low-input, highly efficient herd built from a distinct blend of New Zealand, Dale Davis, and Canadian genetics, creating a gene pool designed for real-world performance.
The conversation also highlights Josh’s entrepreneurial ventures, including his work with ByoReg nutrition products and the increasingly popular Sandhill Slims beef sticks—both driven by a focus on innovation, soil health, and long-term sustainability.
Together, Scott and Josh discuss the future of agriculture, the importance of preserving family ranches, and what it takes to create cattle that meet today’s diverse market demands. A forward-thinking episode for anyone interested in genetics, efficiency, and the next chapter of beef production.
