Kreikemeier to Serve as New District 3 Representative

“We always had cattle and focused on the feedlot side of things,” Kreikemeier said. 

After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a degree in Agricultural Business, Keith returned to the family feedyard, continuing the legacy alongside his father and brother. Today, he co-owns Kreikemeier Feedyards with his brother, managing the operation and maintaining a strong presence in the local beef industry. 

Keith’s decision to join the NBC board stems from a desire to engage more actively in the broader beef industry. 

“I was asked to run for the position, and I saw it as an opportunity to get more involved and learn about what the Nebraska Beef Council does,” he explains. “The Beef Council plays an important role in educating and informing people about the beef industry, both locally and globally.” 

Keith’s leadership experience includes serving as a past president of the Cuming County Feeders Association, a role that reflects his commitment to advancing the cattle industry in his community. As he begins his tenure on the NBC board, Keith is focused on learning the responsibilities of his position and identifying ways he can contribute. 

Keith and his wife, Jen, are parents to two sons: Ethan, a college senior, and Simon, a high school senior. Both sons plan to return to the family operation upon graduating.
