Q&A
Q: Why buy natural, from you, not the grocer?
Ever been to a feedlot? If you did, you would never eat beef again. Second, a feedlot stuffs all types of cattle, not just Angus, to sell at the grocer. Angus is a premium, tender meat. (They aren't selling Longhorn burgers.) Small local farmers are not ready to feed Texas yet but we want to feed and provide a quality, healthy product at a fair, competitive price for those interested. Finally, shop locally because we have no unemployment, no bailout, just your patronage.
Q: What is the difference in taste and color?
Cows were designed to live off grass, not corn. I think the biggest difference is that there is a taste and it is wonderful. Store-bought beef is pink, a by-product of what they are feed. Natural, grass-fed beef is red, no extras.
Q. How long does it take to get the meat once I order?
I try to have a calf onhand at all times so meeting your needs can be quick for a 1/4. But if you want it your way:
Our process dates are usually around the 5th of the month. They age the beef 12+ days (as long as possible), and then begin cutting to your specifications. Turn-around is usually by the 20th of the month.
