We will ship lamb meat to long distance customers. Please e-mail us for a price quote.

Currently, beef is available to local customers only.

Of all our potential customers the ones who live within reasonable driving distance have a couple unfair advantages:

First, the possibility to actually come to our farm and see where and how our animals are raised. This is important as many of the larger, industrialized producers are capitalizing on the growing health consciousness of their customers. As Dr. Shannon Hayes put it in her book The Farmer and the Grill:

... As grassfed meat has grown into popularity, many companies are touting “pseudo-grassfed” products, using clever names and labels that dupe consumers into thinking they are buying the real thing, when in truth, they are still getting industrial grown, factory farmed meat. Some of the potentially misleading words employed are “all natural”, “free-range”, “prairie-raised” - the list goes on.

You can’t know if you are getting the truly forage raised product when you haven’t had the chance to talk to the producer or, better yet, to have a look at their animals and pastures.

We always encourage consumers to come to our place, to see for themselves and ask lots of questions.

We are about 22 miles southeast of Paris and about 45 miles northwest of Mt. Pleasant - one mile south of Rugby on the west (right) side of 410.

The second advantage: The local consumer can buy a live animal and have it processed in their name, to their own liking. Our friends at the Detroit Locker, a family owned and operated processing plant, are doing an excellent job. Not only will they cut, package, label and freeze the meat, they can also turn some or all of the trimmings into various kinds of delicious sausages. While the Detroit Locker is inspected by the Texas Health Department, they are not a USDA inspected facility and therefore do not have to pay for a full-time meat inspector. The resulting savings in the processing and the fact that the meat never becomes part of our frozen meat inventory (a lot easier on our part) translate into considerably lower costs to the consumer. We will transport the lambs or beeves to the Detroit Locker at our cost.

Admittedly, a whole steer (approximately 400 lbs. of meat) is too much for most families. But there is always the possibility to buy a beef together with one or up to three partners. There may be customers who wish to buy just a side or quarter of a beef but can not come up with enough partners to buy the remaining shares. In this case we will try to find a partner, which may take some time, however. The same is true for the lambs, except that we do not split lamb in less than half.
