Meet Our Family

5th generation

Knute & Amanda Severson

Owners, Grand View Beef

Knute grew up on his family’s century farm in Iowa. His dream? To work for a professional sports team. Amanda grew up in Washington State with no farm background and had the very same dream.

Those dreams brought us both to the Seattle Seahawks, where we interned during the 2015–2016 season. Somewhere between the football games and long hours, we fell in love. If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans. Knute realized city life wasn’t for him and returned home to start a beef business. Amanda realized she loved Knute—and soon after, Iowa became home for her too.

We married in 2017 and moved into Knute’s great-grandfather’s farmhouse, where our story continues today. God has blessed us with three beautiful children—Harbor (2020), Luella (2022), and Heston (2025).

We’re grateful for this life and honored to share a piece of it with you through Grand View Beef.

Troy & Beth Severson

Owners, Grand View Farm & Ranch

Knute's parents, Beth and Troy Severson, have been raising Horned Hereford cattle on their century family farm in Iowa for more than 30 years. They continue to run the cow/calf operation today. Since the beginning, they've focused on the highest of animal husbandry practices - moving cattle by horseback, giving access to pasture year-round, and humanely handling the animals throughout their time on the ranch. Beth and Troy still raise the majority of calves for Grand View Beef.
