FILL YOUR FREEZER WITH OURGRASS-FED BEEF!

At Bastrop Cattle Co. all of our animals come from our ranch in Bastrop, TX and two other family-owned ranches is Bastrop & Fayette County. They’re grass-fed/grass-finished with no hormones or antibiotics ever. We process our animals at 12-14 months which means they’re smaller than a 2 year old feedlot steer, but the taste and texture of our entirely grass-fed beef will make it hard to ever go back to the grocery store!

The other thing that makes us unique is that we go through the cut page with you to ensure that we’ve customized it to your specific cooking needs. (Don’t worry though, you don’t have to know all the cuts!)
