My name is Tristin Rieger and I am the owner and operator of Rieger Cattle Company, LLC. I'm a sixth-generation female farmer located in Central Illinois. I've always had a passion for agriculture as it is at the heart of some of my fondest childhood memories. When I was a little girl, I would convince my dad to let me stay home from school during the fall months to ride in the combine with him. When we first purchased bred cows in 2012, I was hooked. I looked forward to every opportunity helping my dad do chores, bottle feed calves, and tend to the sick ones. After college and COVID, circumstances led me back to the farm where I started working for our sister company Rieger Farms, LLC. I quickly reconnected with my childhood passions for regenerative agriculture and within a few years launched Rieger Cattle Co. I'm dedicated to my farm to fork mission and helping consumers connect with the story behind the beef. We work hard every day to raise our cattle in a humane, respective manner and be able to grant them the highest quality of life. Afterall, they provide a healthy food supply for us as well as a lifestyle I have grown to love.
