Our Story
Premium Black Angus Beef, Raised by Our Family for Yours
Meet the Holder Family
White Oak Ridge Cattle Company was established in 2022 to provide Northwest Arkansas with premium Black Angus beef from our family farm in Pea Ridge.
Our cattle come from a 100+ year bloodline—that’s over a century of proven genetics producing exceptional quality. We raise every steer and heifer ourselves, with no growth hormones or steroids. They’re grass-fed and grain-finished for optimal tenderness and marbling.
Our three children—Wyatt, Hank, and Annie—help with the daily care of our cattle, learning about animal stewardship and hard work. When you purchase from us, you’re supporting a family farm and getting beef you can trust.

Common Questions
We’re happy to answer!
What about processing costs?Christopher Colon2026-02-09T12:59:07+00:00
Processing is approximately $1.00 per pound hanging weight and is paid separately to the processor. This covers cutting, wrapping, vacuum sealing, and freezing. You’ll pay the processor directly.
Do you offer payment plans?Christopher Colon2026-02-09T12:59:17+00:00
The $500 deposit is due at ordering to secure your spot. The final balance is due the first week of November. If you need special payment arrangements, please contact us to discuss options.
What if I can’t pick up in December?Christopher Colon2026-02-09T12:59:28+00:00
Contact us as soon as possible. We may be able to work out alternative arrangements, but our standard pickup is the first week of December at our central NWA location.
How big are the cattle?Christopher Colon2026-02-09T12:59:35+00:00
Our steers and heifers typically reach a finish weight of 1,200-1,600 pounds live weight, which equals a hanging weight of around 750-900+ pounds. They’re not small!
Why grain-finished instead of grass-finished?Christopher Colon2026-02-09T12:59:46+00:00
All cattle are grass-fed. We finish on grain because grain-finished beef is more tender, juicy, and flavorful thanks to extra marbling developed during the final feeding phase. It has a more consistent taste and texture that most consumers prefer over the leaner, tougher profile of grass-finished beef.
What’s the advantage of buying from you versus the store?Christopher Colon2026-02-10T12:23:53+00:00
Quality, transparency, and supporting local! You’re getting premium Black Angus beef with proven genetics, raised without growth hormones. Plus, did you know ~25% of store-bought beef is imported and doesn’t have to be labeled as such? Our beef comes straight from the farm – you know exactly where it’s been from birth to your freezer.
Can I get a quarter beef?Christopher Colon2026-02-09T13:00:21+00:00
We do not sell quarters because you cannot customize the cuts on a quarter. We only sell halves and wholes. However, if you want to split a half with a friend or family member, we’re happy to work with you on that!
