Discover the ranch
Heartland Elk Guest Ranch is your doorway into the hidden wilds of Nebraska. Known by only a few and located a pleasant distance off the beaten path, you’ll discover breath-taking panoramas of pine-covered rolling hills that gently descend into the tranquil Niobrara River.
This is a real, authentic, working elk ranch.
Heartland Elk Ranch is home to a herd of 50-75 elk, which happen to be native to our region, so we feel it's our responsibility to make sure that they have the same resources that they have had for thousands of years. Our mission is to take care of the land in sustainable and responsible ways so that we can deliver the very best grass-fed elk to our customers. The elk live a life very similar to what they would have in the wild. They have a healthy diet of oats, peas, alfalfa, rye, turnips, and a wide array of native grasses. We look forward to each and every season on the ranch and are proud to be caretakers of this land and these magnificent animals.
