Our Team

Eldon & Louisa Krebs

Eldon and Louisa Krebs own and operate Krebs Ranch. Having spent their entire lives in the beef cattle industry, they now focus on breeding elite Angus cattle in the WK program. Eldon was raised on a commercial ranch in Neligh, NE, and attended the University of Nebraska. From there, he began working on some of the nations most elite purebred operations including Bob-Lee Shorthorns in Ohio and Ken Caryl Angus in Colorado. In 1979, Eldon and Louisa put down roots in Gordon, NE, and established, what is today known as, Krebs Ranch. Eldon manages and directs all employees and ranch activities on a daily basis while Louisa supervises the Krebs Ranch office.

Ty, Kaleigh & Sage Krebs

Ty Krebs, son of Eldon and Louisa, grew up on the ranch and then attended Oklahoma State University where he majored in Animal Science. Ty has a broad range of skills and experience in all segments of ranching, but devotes most of his time overseeing the haying, irrigation, construction, and trucking operations for WK. In addition, Ty helps prepare the WK bulls for competition at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO. and for our annual bull sale in March. But Ty’s favorite job by far is raising the next generation of Krebs men, his son Sage! Ty’s diversity and work ethic make him a true asset to the ranch!

Jack Dahlgren

A fixture that’s as familiar to Krebs Ranch as our own logo, is our good friend and trusted employee, Jack Dahlgren. Jack is a native of the Sandhills who was raised in nearby Merriman, NE, and has been with the ranch since we first moved to the Sandhills. Jack works with John Delaney during calving season as the WK night watchman, and spends his summers constructing and maintaining the fences at WK and on other area ranches. It isn’t hard to recognize a fence built by Jack, they are straight as a string, and all have Jack’s trademark blue gates and handles. Thanks Jack for all your contributions, and for keeping us all smiling.

Brad Wolkow

Brad Wolkow is Eldon’s right hand man during cattle development at Krebs Ranch. Brad is a native of the Gordon area and has spent his life working in the ranching and trucking business. Brad assists with feedlot operations during weaning and throughout bull development, in addition to overseeing the WK commercial and registered yearlings females on grass. Brad also spends a great deal of time helping during summer hay production and with cattle trucking as needed. Whether horseback, in a truck, or on a tractor, Brad Wolkow is a top-hand; and we appreciate his hard work and his great attitude!
