Cardinals season 🤝 grilling season. ⚾🔥

Missouri beef producer Andi Wilson recently threw out the first pitch at St. Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium, representing the farm families behind the burgers, steaks, and beef recipes that make summer so memorable.

With her family cheering her on from the stands, Andi helped put a face to the Missouri beef families behind your favorite beefy meals.

As summertime calendars fill with ballgames, cookouts, and time spent with family and friends, beef remains a staple of the moments that bring us together.

Catch Andi on Cardinals Radio Network all season long as she helps connect fans with the farm families behind their burgers on the grill. ❤️⚾

hey hey… we know these people 👏.

Proud to see Tanner, Kerre and the entire CF Cattle Company crew spotlighted for the incredible work they’re doing to connect consumers to Missouri beef. From raising cattle to raising the next generation, this family is the real deal. 🤝🥩

As we continue to celebrate BEEF MONTH, travel through story to visit CF Cattle Company, which overlooks a horizon made for sunsets near Ava in Agri-Ready Designated Douglas County.

This generational cow-calf ranch is a family owned and operated partnership that includes Rancel and Janie Clark and their son, Tanner, and his wife Kerre.

Meaningful beef marketing connects consumers to the farms, ranches, and families who are supported by every beef purchase. Read more to learn why the Clarks believe that the key to marketing today is to include their “tomorrow”.

The beef community is built by passionate people, and we’re excited to introduce one of them ❤️.

Meet Lanie Milliken, our summer intern.

Raised with livestock responsibilities from a young age, agriculture quickly became more than a lifestyle, it became her passion.

Now a senior studying ag communications + animal science at Missouri State University, she’s passionate about becoming a strong voice for the beef industry through producer outreach and consumer education, all while advocating for the industry she knows and loves.

We can’t wait to see the impact she makes this summer and beyond 🔥.

“It was something we built through hard work, and it’s a moment I’ll never forget.” ❤️

From two cows and a modest home in southwest Missouri to a growing family cattle operation (5K Cattle Co.), the Keaton story is one built on patience, grit and a deep respect for agriculture.

Today, Vance and Jennifer (with their children) operate a spring and fall calving herd, replacement heifer development program and a custom meat business that connects their beef directly with consumers across the four-state area.

Each piece of the operation reflects a long-term commitment to quality and trust.

Vance’s background in 4-H and agricultural education continues to influence his perspective as both a producer and advocate. He remains dedicated to strengthening the beef industry and ensuring consumers understand the value behind the product they enjoy.

At its core, the Keaton operation is still guided by the same foundation it started on ... hard work, steady growth and a belief in doing things right. 🔥🥩
