Our Ranch Raised Cattle and Homegrown Feed

We have been raising cattle in the Blackland Prairie in Troy, Texas for 6 generations. Our commercial cows are Angus based and our bulls vary in breeds from Angus, Hereford and Simmental/Angus crosses. By having a variety of bulls, this allows us to add growth and muscling to our calves. The Angus breed has great marbling capability. Each breed has different strengths and we utilize all of them this way.

Our cattle graze on our ranches in the Central Texas area and have calves from December - February. The calves stay with their mommas, eating grass and all the mother's milk they can get until the fall. At this time, they are removed off the pasture get all the hay they want and access to portioned feed. Purina has helped us create the feed, using ingredients grown on our farm!

Keeping muscling in mind, we select the best cattle that will provide the most freezer beef product. Our cattle are fed 150 days or more and are closely watched to monitor performance. It's not hard to keep the calves growing, they eat about 30 pounds a day! We won't sell any cattle that aren't ready for a freezer, we promise that. All calves will grade choice, possible even prime. Our freezer beef cattle are not given antibiotics or steroids. The calves stay happy and healthy on the feed we provide. 

It is amazing to see what time and good quality feed can do for a calf! We like to say, the beef we provide is the type of beef you see behind the glass counter at the grocery store or butcher. And we all know, that beef comes at a higher price. Shopping with us, you buy from your local farmer and rancher, cut your costs, and have a great quality product.
