ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION	Niewohner Entities is all about caring for animals and the land. This has been a family tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation. We value collaboration throughout industries, by operating in multiple areas and continue to grow. Starting off as a farm and cattle operation near Albion, Nebraska, Niewohner Entities has grown to 3 cattle feedlots, as well as farrow to finish swine confinement. Other divisions include The Batch Box, SiDump’r, Feeding System, Beaver Bearing, and Upper Iowa Beef. SIDUMP’R was purchased in 2010. Niewohner’s had been using a fleet of Sidump’r trailers in their operation and firmly believed in the quality and the value of the brand. With a growing product line, came the relocation to its current facility in Columbus, NE. The expansion to a 350,000 square foot factory has allowed for state-of-art manufacturing equipment to be installed and utilized. Upper Iowa Beef is a story about a community that came together because it believes we all have the right to know our farmers and know our food. We believe in providing humane care for our animals, respecting the farmers who raise our cattle, and providing transparent information to the families who will enjoy our beef at their dinner table. Join our journey in bringing food production back to a local level.
