Fullblood Wagyu, raised right.
We are native Texans, five generations on this ranch. Every package of beef we sell comes from a single registered animal, and you receive that animal's registration certificate.
We process and sell one animal at a time, which lets us focus on quality rather than quantity. You will always receive the animal you paid for

The Operation
Three things that end up on the plate.
Wagyu is not a label we bought. It is genetics we selected, animals we handle every day, and a carcass we can account for.
Genetics
Foundation cattle, and the data to prove it.
Our cattle are foundation-based, descended directly from the first Japanese Wagyu brought to America. Every animal is registered with the Australian Wagyu Association, RFID tagged at birth, and recorded in CattleMax from the day it is born.
We publish all of our herd data, and we do not purchase animals whose breeders decline to do the same.
Handling
Halter-trained, hand-fed, and calm.
We live alongside our cattle and visit with them at least twice a day. Many are halter trained, and every one of them will allow you to approach without startling. Calves remain with their dams until 210 days.
Low stress means low cortisol, and low cortisol is one of the reasons this beef tastes the way it does. No non-therapeutic antibiotics, ever.
The Beef
Marbling you can see through the wrapper.
Our cattle are carried to 32 to 34 months, against a commercial norm of roughly eighteen, and are finished on a grain-based ration built specifically to develop marbling. They live on green grass, but it takes grain to bring marbling to its full depth. Marbling of this quality is laid down slowly or not at all, and that additional year accounts for most of what you are paying for.
State-inspected and processed by a trusted local facility, then packaged under our own label. Nothing is finished on an outside feedlot and nothing is blended with another producer's cattle.
The certificate that comes with your beef names the animal, gives its registry number, and lists its parentage. The trail from the pasture to the pan is on paper rather than on trust.
- Registered with the Australian Wagyu Association
- Eligible for the American Wagyu Association
- Texas Wagyu Association member
- BQA-Certified ranch
- Texas state-inspected processing
Beef Shares
Buy a quarter, a half, or the whole animal.
A share is simply a portion of one animal. Shares are priced by hanging weight, which is the weight on the rail before cutting and trimming, so you take home considerably less than that. The figures below are honest estimates rather than a fixed price.
Half Beef (1/2 of a steer)
Full control of the cut sheet, and the share most families choose.
- Take-home beef
- 210–290 lbs
