GARDEN CITY, Kan. (RFD News) — A dream to return home and continue the family legacy helped grow one Kansas angus feedyard into what it is today.
Triangle H was recognized with the 2022 Feedyard Commitment to Excellence Award from Certified Angus Beef.
The multi-generational operation, run by the father-daughter team Sam Hands and Marisa Kleysteuber, cares for more than 8,000 feeder cattle.
Kleysteuber says that her father’s work ethic has shaped her into the rancher she is today.
“Growing up and watching my dad, he is the hardest-working person I know,” she explains. “Still at 74 years old, he will put in more hours than any of us, and not that he should be doing that necessarily. He can outwork all of us. I grew up watching him work and admired him for what he did. I’ve just always wanted to come back and be a part of the legacy that my dad created and carry it on.”
Their goal is to focus on humane animal care and use decades of feedyard data and experience to maximize quality.
