“The Osage Nation Ranch and our cattle business remain a core part of our economic development strategy,” said Russell Goff, CEO of Osage LLC, which manages the Osage Nation Ranch. “We sell cattle twice a year, and that revenue is returned to the Osage Nation for critical services like health care, housing, and education, or reinvested into the ranch to support operations and care for our livestock. It’s one more way Osage LLC is building a long-term economy for the Osage people.”
With more than 3,500 head of cattle, the Osage Nation Ranch represents a growing and sustainable agricultural enterprise that helps the Osage Nation advance its goal of achieving food sovereignty for the Osage people. In addition to helping fund core government services, revenues are also helping establish Osage LLC as a leader in aerospace and the growing unmanned aerial systems sector.
