Do you live in the Abilene area? Avoid shipping charges and pick up your Criollo Beef here at the ranch. During checkout, just mark the option to pick up your order at the Jandal Ranch. It's easy! Criollo cattle were brought to the “New World” from southern Spain’s high desert plains on Columbus’s second voyage and are superbly adapted for the hostile environments of North America's southwest. Renowned for their hardiness, fertility, gentle nature and longevity, Criollo cattle are easy on the land, tending to improve a pasture, rather than destroy it as they naturally self-rotate through a pasture, utilizing every square foot of acreage, rather than concentrating on any one area. Our cattle spend their entire lives roaming spacious pastures in West Texas, getting fat easily on natural grasses with no supplementation, only needing high quality hay in the winter months. Ranch visits are welcome (by appointment). American Criollo Beef Alliance, Dale Price,

We are located in west Texas and serve north central Texas and west Texas. Our goal is to continue as a sustainable steward of God’s natural resources. We raise our animals for retail consumption by family, friends, and savvy consumers. We harvest each animal when it develops adequate back fat and intramuscular marbling; this is normally achieved after 30 months of age. We are continually improving our genetics to produce bigger ribeyes, better marbling, and natural tasting beef. Our management style avoids grain, corn feeding, stress, and the feedlot environment. We employ rotational pasture grazing on native Texas and improved grasses, winter annuals, and select introduced grasses. Fortunately, our animals benefit from the distinctive flavoring provided by the high mineral content found in west Texas. We use NO growth hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, or pesticides. These animals are “finished” in the most natural and low stress conditions possible. Our beef is Dry Aged (hanging in a freezer before processing) for 14 days to provide a hearty, brown-roasted beefy flavor, then vacuum packed for optimal storage. We “wet age” our premium steaks and encourage you to continue aging them in your own fridge if desired. Savor the healthier flavor and enjoy the wholesome and nutritional advantages of Holy Cow Beef’s naturally finished beef. We sell by the cut with monthly deliveries to DFW, Midland and Amarillo, TX. We do require a 20-pound minimum order for home deliveries in the DFW area. We have partnered with a couple other ranches to offer pastured chicken and pork, grassfed artisan cheese and pastured chicken eggs that are supplemented with organic, non-soy feed. Please feel free to contact us about shipping. We do ship some and will ship more later this year.
Back 4T Farms is a CCOF Certified Organic farm located outside of Eden, TX. We raise and sell organic, pasture-raised beef, chicken, pork, and eggs.

Pigs and chickens are only supplemented with a soy-free/corn-free organic feed. We sell our products online, do local deliveries to various towns and cities in TX, and ship to all the mainland states. Back 4T Farms, Laura Turnbough, PO Box 610, Eden, TX 76837. 325-266-1617.

We run a small herd (14) of Black Brangus mama cows. We purchased Charlie Moon, our Brangus grass-fed bull, when he was 6 months old and raised ALL our mama cows.

Our goal is to produce and market INTEGRITY BEEF, grass fed for healthy, tender, tasty beef free of supplemental hormones, antibiotics, grain, or grain products.

Owner-producer Danny Burrows counsels and discusses cut orders with customers and observes, directs, and helps Tony cut and package each calf to meet each customer's specifications. After slaughter, the meat is cooled SLOWLY and aged 14 days before it is vacuum packed in clear packages, and frozen. It is ready for the customer to pick up one day later. Our goat herd has grown to about 45 head. They eat weeds, briars, and brush, keep the trees pruned, and provide organic fertilizer everywhere they graze. Customers buy the goats for breeding and meat. Our Grass-Fed Nubian/Spanish Cross goats graze free-range and are for sale by private treaty purchase or consignment by the head. We began raising chickens in Fall 2001 and were soon receiving requests for "yard eggs," laid by our free-range/pastured hens. These superior quality eggs are free from added hormones, feed fillers, antibiotics, herbicides, and pesticides. The hens receive supplemental bird seeds and non-GMO scratch. They roost and lay their eggs in mobile coops moved every 2–3 days. We clean their laying boxes daily and recycle the chicken litter through the ranch compost pile.

We use low-stress management and gentle handling methods. Our flock grazes on pastures free of pesticides and herbicides. Our production methods DO NOT include antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, or feedlots. I have raised and sold grass-fed lamb since 1996. After my kids were born, my priority for clean, trustworthy food was at its peak. As a stay-at-farm/home mom, I began to produce and sell extra lamb for added income. I have continued to raise lamb for my family and others on one of the area’s only female-owned farms. I do most of the farm work and animal husbandry, with help from friends when needed; I work a full-time job as well. I raise fewer lambs now that I'm getting old, but still need MY personal lamb supply, and have a few extra lambs to sell each year. The 2024 price per lamb (not including processing) is $275.00. Processing is an added $125 to $170, depending on the processor. Typically, a deposit of $50.00 will hold a lamb until it is ready for processing, with the balance ($225) of the lamb fee due a week before we haul the lambs to the processor, usually in May/June. You pay the processing fee to the processor about a week later when you pick up your meat.

First Light Farms is a small New Zealand company whose mission is to produce delicious meat, raised right, by people who truly care. Not only has our beef been called “the best beef in the world” by Forbes, but we also recently claimed four gold medals at The World Steak Challenge. These accolades reflect our constant strive to produce the world’s best tasting beef. Our Wagyu cattle are raised as nature intended on lush pastures, eating a 100% grass diet with no grains, no animal by-products, no feedlots, and certified humane. The result is great-tasting meat, full of natural marbling and packed with Omega 3 – the kind of 'good fat' we should be eating, rather than avoiding. Our pasture-raised elk is a tender, healthy and delicious lean red meat. Packed with protein and essential micronutrients, while raised on regenerative, luscious farms by farmers who care. Our venison comes from farm-raised deer, with consideration for the welfare of both the animal and our environment, resulting in delicate flavor and guaranteed tenderness. Good venison comes from young deer that have led a healthy, low stress life, and that’s what we pride ourselves on producing every time. Last but not least, our organ supplements come exclusively from our herd of 100% grass-fed Wagyu cattle and pasture-raised elk. Our range of freeze-dried organs and cartilage collagen comes direct from our farms. Organ meats, specifically beef liver, are the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, packed with necessary micronutrients. You can find our products in select US stores in Texas and four other states through our store locator, or conveniently purchase them online.

Fredericksburg Grassfed Beef Ranch, located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg, is family owned and operated. Our cattle are primarily Hereford and Angus cross. We strive to produce a black calf. We have learned that an important factor in producing tender meat is having gentle, docile cows. As we select replacement heifers, disposition is as important as confirmation. Working with gentle stock is safer for the livestock and easier for us. We operate on organic principles, but have not yet achieved organic certification. Our pastures have not seen herbicides or fertilizers for over 20 years. Herd health is maintained by frequent pasture rotation. We do not use any antibiotics or hormones. We do use preventative vaccines for our calves at 30 to 60 days of age. This herd has been wholly owned by our family. Many of the cows have lineage back to the first cows brought to the ranch by our parents over 50 years ago, and the lineage actually begins with our grandfather's herd, which was established in the early 1900s. We know where these cows have been all their lives—they are Texan born and raised. Calves are available for slaughter beginning in May. This is dependent upon the weather. We do not supplement our slaughters with grain; they are raised and finished in the same native pastures in which they were born. This means that the animals feed on a broad variety of plants, which in turn produces a healthier animal and a more flavorful meat. In 2004 we began offering 24-month-old calves for slaughter.

Fredericksburg Grassfed Beef, Chuck and Teppi Schmidt and Patricia and Lonnie Marquardt, 110 East Highway Street, Fredericksburg TX 78624. Glory Farms converted to the “simple” way of raising cattle and selling beef in the late 1990’s. We started “finishing” our animals on grass only and not subjecting them to man made chemicals by way of their feed. We let our pastures lay dormant for three years without any manmade fertilizers of insecticides added. In 2002, we moved locations, however, we continued the same philosophy. Our new pastures are ready and we are back in the grass finished business. We will continue to furnish angus/angus cross steers, but we have changed direction a little. We are seeing the importance of smaller serving sizes and the need to produce smaller “finished” animals. We have entered into the mini Hereford business. These are smaller animals that reflect the size of animals my dad and grandfather raised. Our philosophy can be summed up very easily. We believe the old ways are better. Animals need to be raised naturally; they need to go a minimum of 6 months without medication before being sold for beef; they need to be “finished”; they need to have clean water and lots of grass; and they need to reflect and participate in the slow pace simple life we enjoy here at Glory Farms.

We are a small family farm on the Texas/New Mexico state line, raising grass fed-finished Devon/Red Angus cross cattle since 2009. They graze on native pasture in the summer and use winter annuals (fodder) with free choice hay plus access to stockpiled grass the rest of the year. Our focus is to build soil health; therefore, we use no chemicals on our pastures. Our cattle are raised from birth to market in a gentle stress-free way with no grain, antibiotics, or added growth hormones. We use adaptive management grazing to give the cattle the best choice of grass, practicing this since 1996. We calve in the spring when the grass greens up to match the grass quality with the needs of the momma cow when calving. The beef is 22–26 months old when ready to be processed, which is done in our local State facility or a local USDA Texas facility. They are available in halves or as a whole beef, which is the most reasonable priced way for your family. By USDA standards, our beef has been rated as Choice.

The Lazy A Ranch, certified by the American Grassfed Association and Animal Welfare Approved, is a member of the British White Cattle Association of America, the American Wagyu Association, and the Texas Wagyu Association. Our ranch is certified, which means that our world class standards have been verified by an independent auditor. One of our herds is the historic British White breed, once reserved for the English royalty and aristocracy, and enclosed in parks. This herd is headed by B&B Ulysses, an American Fullblood bull. We are currently producing beef from this herd, and The Lazy A Ranch website includes a history of this breed. Another herd is of the world renowned Japanese Red Wagyu breed, headed by JC Red Star 50, a 99.4% purebred bull. American Kobe Beef will be sold beginning in 2016 from this herd. The ranch follows organic pasture care with compost teas and liquid organic fertilizer from Sustainable Growth Texas, and follows Holistic Management International principles, including rotational grazing. We do not use pesticides, herbicides, routine antibiotics or growth hormones. Our animals are tame, moved gently, and live on grassy pasture their entire lives. Most were born on the ranch. In addition to pasture grass our cows eat baled hay, alfalfa, cottonseed meal, and molasses. They are given a free-choice supplement with vitamins, minerals, kelp, and diatomaceous earth. They also get a sea salt block with minerals. We do not use pesticides, herbicides, routine antibiotics, or growth hormones. The finishing process is begun at the ranch for 60–90 days with unlimited supplementary rations on pasture. Typically, our beef will be 28–30 months old and about 1200 pounds for a heavier, more marbled and flavorful beef according to the protocol of Artisan French labeled beef. They will be individually selected as they reach full growth and desired heaviness and processed by LaGrange Smokehouse, which is also Animal Welfare Approved. Beef will be dry aged for 21 days and shrink wrapped for your freezer. The Lazy A Ranch is located about one hour from Houston between Bellville and Hempstead in Austin county. We also have a location in Cat Spring. Beef may be picked up at the ranch, in the Texas Medical Center Houston, or may be shipped frozen overnight in Texas.

Answer: Our grass finished beef do! Lovejoy Farm is located in Bosque County near Lake Whitney in central Texas. We raise and direct-market clean pasture finished beef. Our pastures have been free of toxic sprays and chemical fertilizers for over 12 years. We manage our pastures using management intensive grazing practices. With rare exceptions, our cattle are moved to fresh grass and a new paddock every day. Grass finished beef requires a well-balanced diet (energy vs. protein) during the finishing phase to ensure well-marbled, tender meat. To this end we use sprouted wheat grass as a diet balancer and supplement to their normal pasture grazing. During the final 90-day finishing, each animal received 15 to 20 pounds of fresh wheat grass daily. Animal nutrition is supported with Redmond natural minerals. Parasite control is accomplished using diatomaceous earth in the minerals as well as apple cider vinegar in the drinking water. Antibiotics or hormones are never used. Contact us for processing options and current pricing information. Unsolicited customer comments and repeat orders tell us we are doing things right. We think you will agree!

Whey Cool Ranch, located in Hunt County, Texas, proudly provides herdshares offering fresh, nutritious raw goat milk from our carefully managed herd of Nubian dairy goats. Our goats flourish under regenerative farming practices, enjoying rotational grazing on lush pastures. This approach enhances soil health and promotes animal welfare, resulting in premium milk quality and sustainable land management. Goats don’t thrive on grass alone, so we are working on restoring the native black prairie ecosystem on our 23 acres where the goats can browse on native cedar, elm, pecan and locust trees and our winter paddocks/barn lot contains a deer mix of clover, forage peas, lentils, daikon radish, etc. that will grow during our cool season. Our milking does do receive a small amount of feed on the milk stand to provide the calories and nutrition they need to maintain peak production; these goat-specific pellets include soy hulls, alfalfa, cottonseed, chopped hay and a vitamin and mineral mix. To this I add some sunflower seeds and flax to up the fat content a bit. In addition to our goat milk, we offer pasture-raised goats for meat, available from November through March, occasionally extending into early spring. Goat kids can be reserved with a $50 deposit, with final pricing aligned to current San Angelo market rates. The balance is due one week before processing. For your convenience, we deliver animals to local processors: Oba Farms (www.obafarms.net), Rail 19 (https://www.facebook.com/Rail19meats), or Bluebonnet Meat Company (www.bluebonnetmeatcompany.com). Processing fees are paid directly by customers at the time they pick up their meat. Experience exceptional farm-to-table quality and flavor.
