Albaugh Ranch
Our Family
We have actively been involved in ranching for over five generations. The last few years have been busy with two large moves from Nevada to Nebraska, and Nebraska to Missouri. However, though moving brought its challenges, we are actively embracing the new changes. Here at Albaugh Ranch, we pride ourselves on being able to work in an industry that not only is our occupation, but our lifestyle. And what better way to do that than with your family by your side? Each of us plays an integral part of the ranch. Please see below for a brief introduction to each of us.
Norris Albaugh
Norris is the head of the family and owner/operator on the ranch. He is passionate about the agriculture industry and loves what he does. His favorite part about ranching is the cattle. Whether it is working cows, calving season, or just the quiet moments spent feeding the herd, you can usually find Norris appreciating the payoff of the hard work that he has put into the cow herd.
LaVern is the matriarch of the family and Norris' mom. She can usually be found outside picking up sticks, tidying up, and trying to stay busy. LaVern is an exceptional cook and makes delicious meals for her family. She also makes the best cookies in the world, and visitors and friends very rarely leave the Albaugh's without at least having one or two. She also enjoys chickens and looks forward to having some in the spring.

Sam Brewster
Sam is married into the family and Norris says he is his "favorite son-in-law". While he may be the only son-in-law so far, he is definitely a family favorite and a fourth kid to Norris. Sam works a job in town, but can be found working the ranch on the weekends. He is passionate about raising quality beef as well as learning as much as he can. His help is greatly appreciated, and he looks forward to helping take over the ranch upon Norris' eventual retirement.
Wilhelmina Albaugh
Wilhelmina is the middle child of the family. Though she graduated with an animal science degree, she has high hopes for continuing her education. She also stays busy with her different hobbies as well as her business. She is an accomplished silversmith and designs beautiful turquoise designs from stones she cuts and processes herself.

Helen Brewster
Helen is Norris' oldest daughter. She went to college to study animal science, and after a few office jobs decided to come back to the ranch. She enjoys the native Shorthorns the best, and enjoys working to preserve native bloodlines. Helen hopes to one day fully take over the ranch alongside her little brother, Waldo and husband, Sam.
Waldo Albaugh
Waldo is the youngest of the Albaugh family. He is fresh out of high school, and working on a ranch in Nebraska. When he isn't working for his employers, he can be found visiting and staying busy around the ranch. He also enjoys any kind of hunting, likes trapping, and can be found doing something outside. After some time in the workforce, he hopes to someday help takeover the ranch.
