Crossbuck Ranch

The Ranch
Jay and Bekah Payne owners of Crossbuck Ranch both grew up on the farm. Jay on his parent’s farm working cattle, planting crops, and harvesting seed. Always active in agriculture as a youth Jay excelled in crops judging and went on to college and graduated with a degree in Forestry and Ranch Op. Bekah also active in agriculture as a youth excelled in the rodeo and equine events. Jay and Bekah were married, and God has blessed them with three beautiful children Sage, Mesa, and Jace. Today the Payne Family continue to work hard managing Crossbuck Ranch. Crossbuck is planted on the dirt roads just outside of Alex, Ok. Crossbuck produces quality Grass fed, Grass finished beef and Grass fed, Grain finished beef. Life at Crossbuck is always eventful between raising and homeschooling the three kids to getting all the cattle fed and the horses worked. The joy of watching a new calf being born, taking its first few steps and nursing, from the sowing of wheat seeds to the cutting and baling at harvest time, and then there are the ever-present things that mark time at the ranch, discipline that is ranch life. Every morning and evening there are chores to do, feeding, watering, cleaning a stall, or chasing the calf that slipped through the fence-these are the things that go on every day, rain, or shine, warm or cold, sun or ice, no matter how you feel that day. Some days it is a blessing, and those few moments we spend leaning against a tractor tire, watching the cows feed on some hay we just laid out for them as the sun sets, can be just magical. Our goal at Crossbuck is to serve God and diligently care for our cattle and the land they enjoy. We feel very blessed to have the opportunity to raise our cattle on the ranch and work hard to produce quality beef for our customers.
