About Us
Weiser River Signature Beef, LLC, was founded on the concept of providing local, naturally produced meat to the consumer which, if it is everthing we say it is, we should be proud to put our 'signature' on it. Which we are!

Most meat, as well as other food products, currently reaching American tables cannot be traced back to the individual farm or ranch once that product has been shipped. Only individual batches can be traced to the processing plant of origin. There is meat on our supermarket shelves that has traveled either across America (sometimes several times!) or perhaps traveled into this country from another country. We believe that consumers are becoming increasingly aware of health and food safety issues surrounding mega-production agricultural operations including conditions, feed additives, growth promotants and product origin. Therefore, we are producing and marketing natural, quality, locally born, raised and produced meat products that are guaranteed to be low mileage - it has not traveled into or out of the State of Idaho! - and whose point or origin in the Weiser River valley is also guaranteed. At birth, the animal receives an ear tag or bar code which follows that animal through processing. We welcome visitors to our operations so that consumers can satisfy themselves as to point of origin and the conditions.

Finishing will be completed in Weiser, Idaho, utilizing local, natural, and GMO free feed while processing is done in Nampa, Idaho. All meat is dry-aged and can be cut to special order.

The two owners of Weiser River Signature Beef, LLC, are Victor L. Ward and Chris Leverenz.

Chris Leverenz has a long history in the agriculture industry. Chris grew up farming alfalfa and began his cattle herd at the age of 10. He participated in 4-H and FFA during his school years and began commercial production at the age of 24. Chris and his wife, Lisa. operated a 6,000 acre ranch in California with 250 head of cattle and 800 acres of dryland farming. While on the ranch in California, the Leverenzes began catering weddings, corporate events and agicultural homestays. The Leverenzes moved to Weiser, Idaho, in 2003 to continue ranching and to raise their family. They currently run 350 head of cattle on a ranch West of Weiser along with their three sons. Chris is both a member and serves on the Board of Directors of the Weiser River Cattle Association. Both Chris and Lisa believe consumers want to buy locally grown beef products and they are ready to supply this demand.

Victor L. Ward has more than 40 years experience in the livestock industry. He grew up on a ranch near Cambrdige, Idaho, and has had experience with both dairy and beef cattle. He started his own farm flock of sheep at the age of eight. Today, Victor still farms in the nearby Cambridge area and ranches in Indian Valley, Idaho. He maintains both a farm flock and cow-calf pairs on irrigated and dryland pastures. He has been successful in producing market-ready, grass fed livestock without utilizing feed lots or additives. Over the past four years, Victor has direct marketed live lambs to consumers as a result of consumer demand and he recognizes that there is a substantial market for local, fresh beef. Victor serves on the Board of Directors for the Weiser River Cattle Association and has served as its President and Past-President. He and his family are committed to raising quality livestock for the consumer.
