Meet the Holder Family

White Oak Ridge Cattle Company was established to provide Northwest Arkansas with some of the highest quality beef you will find anywhere in the United States. The genetics of our Black Angus cattle from Holder Farms date back over 100 years. That’s over a century of refinement to produce the quality of cattle that we offer today.

These cattle teach the three Holder children about animal stewardship, food origination, and hard work. If you visit our rolling acreage on the outskirts of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, you will find Wyatt, Hank, and Annie involved with the daily care of the land and livestock. Our cattle have access to fresh water and acres of pasture at all times. They are grass-fed and grain-finished, providing you with some of the most tender and marbled beef you’ve ever had. When you purchase from White Oak Ridge Cattle Company, you can count on ethically-raised, quality beef that is locally raised by our family for yours.

What’s the advantage of buying from you over someone else or just buying from the store?2025-06-11T10:17:34+00:00
  • I’m glad you asked.  For starters, quality.  In our opinion, we raise some of the best beef money can buy and we do it the old fashion way-time and money.  We do not use growth hormones.  ~80% of beef purchased from the store have been given growth hormones.
  • Also, did you know that ~25% of the ground beef you purchase at the store is imported?  Did you know that it does not have to be labeled as imported?  Beef can be labeled “Product of USA” even if it’s imported, as long as it’s repackaged or minimally processed once it arrives in the U.S.  This loophole stems from USDA rules that allow meat from other countries to carry the U.S. label if it’s processed at a USDA-inspected facility domestically.  As a result, many consumers have no idea they’re buying imported beef.
  • Everything we sell comes straight off of Holder Farms.  They’re birthed, raised, and finished under our care.  When cattle are purchased from the sale barn, the buyer has no idea what the history is or what all medications/hormones were given.
When should I order?2025-06-11T10:17:11+00:00
We have sold out every year since starting our farm-to-table business.  The short answer is now!  The longer answer is, in order to get it in the same calendar year, we need your order by May 1st (assuming we’re not sold out by then).  After that, there’s a good chance you will be placed on our list for the following year.  For new customers, that can be a long lead time.  After that, though, you’re on auto-pilot.  All of our current customers have first right of refusal every year.  In other words, once you’re a customer, you have an endless supply of beef until you decide not to reorder.
How big are they?2025-06-11T10:16:42+00:00
Our steers/heifers will typically hit a finish weight of 1,200-1,600 pounds (live weight).  They’re not small!  This equates to a hanging weight of around 750-900+ pounds.
Are they grass finished?2025-06-11T10:16:18+00:00
All cattle are grass fed.  We understand that “grass fed” is the current “shiny thing,” but have found that most that are asking about it don’t fully understand what they’re asking or getting when it comes to the final product.  We finish on grain.  There’s no debate that gain-finished beef is more tender, juicy, and flavorful thanks to the extra marbling developed during the final feeding phase.  It also has a more consistent taste and texture that most consumers prefer over the leaner and tougher profile of grass-“finished” beef.
Why Black Angus?2025-06-11T10:15:33+00:00
Black Angus are the gold standard for premium beef-famous for their rich marbling and unbeatable tenderness.
Can you tell me about your cattle?2025-06-11T10:15:11+00:00
We’d love to!  When you purchase from White Oak Ridge Cattle Co, you’re getting premium Black Angus cattle from our family’s farm.  We know where they’ve been from the time they hit the ground (birthed) to the time they are loaded in your car to be put in your freezer.  Everything is processed under 2 years of age, so you’re never getting some old “cull cow.”  The steer/heifer that you’re getting is from a 100+ year Black Angus bloodline from Holder Farms.  Not some mixed breed from the sale barn.
How long will a 1/2 side of beef last?2025-06-11T10:14:34+00:00
On average, a 1/2 side of beef will last a family of 4 for about a year.

 

Can I get a 1/4 side of beef?2025-06-11T10:13:58+00:00
We do not sell 1/4 sides of beef.  We only sell halves and wholes.  You cannot get custom cuts on quarters, so we have chose not to offer that.  However, if you have a friend or family member that would like to split a 1/2 with you we can definitely work with that.
Where do we pick up the meat?2025-06-11T10:12:30+00:00

Pick up will be at a central location in NWA.  In the past, I have used a large parking lot near Village on the Creeks in the Pinnacle Hills area of Rogers.

When do I make my final payment?2025-06-11T10:12:02+00:00
The first week of November.  We charge by the hanging/carcass weight.  We will not know what your steer/heifer weighs until they’re delivered to the processor and the processor gets back with me with the weight of each head of cattle delivered.
When will I receive my meat?2025-06-11T10:11:26+00:00
We only process once a year (end of October).  Typically, we will have the meat back to you by the 1st week of December.
