Aged. Forage Fattened.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much fat is in your beef?
A: There is a nice proportion of fat, but it is definitely much leaner than conventional beef. Our burgers are juicy but not sopping. If cooked in a pan, you can remove the burgers and cook some veggies or fries in the remaining fat. Remember this is healthy fat and is prized in grass-fed meats.
Q: Do you ship?
A: We certainly do not mind meeting you a reasonable distance from our farm to drop off an order especially if we are already going that direction. We encourage people far from us to find a local producer. We are looking into this for those that can not find a comprable product.
Q: What does dry aged mean?
A: Dry aging is a process of letting the meat hang above a frozen state for a length of time (that differs depending on the ruminant animal) to allow the proteins to begin to breakdown. This enhances the natural flavors of the meat, improves texture & reduces the water weight. Ultimately, you are buying meat that is tastier and more tender with less overall water weight.
Q: Where do you get your meat processed?
A: Fred drives about 9 miles to Wiatreks in Poth, TX, to process and have our animals Texas state inspected and labeled for our grassfed beef, lamb, goat, and pastured pork.
