Our process. The Texas Hill Country produces the world’s highest quality cattle. Our feed program is specifically designed to produce exceptional tasting beef. Cattle are hand selected by experienced ranchers. We dry age our beef for a minimum of 14 days, then flash freeze and vacuum seal the beef to preserve the freshness, tenderness and taste you and your family deserve.
All of our cattle are raised, fed and harvested locally in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
All of our beef comes from English breeds. Our stock is chiefly Black Angus and Red Angus.
Our feed program has been refined over years to provide the best tasting beef possible. Our cattle enjoy grass, conventional feedstuffs such as corn, and upcycled by-products. In fact, 90% of our rations are made up recyclable products such as syrup or mash from whiskey distilleries around Austin which provides greater sustainability for our cherished planet.
While grass-finished beef tends to be a little leaner, both grass-finished and grain-finished beef are natural sources of more than 10 essential nutrients including protein, iron and zinc. All cattle, whether grass or grain-finished, spend the majority of their lives eating grass on pastures and provide delicious and nutritious beef.

Texas Beef Traders hand selects only the highest quality cuts! All beef sold is guaranteed to be equivalent to Choice grade or higher. We leave the junk for your supermarket.
The vast majority of our cattle will never have hormones or antibiotics. We will only use antibiotics on cows that are sick or need help in performance because we feel this is a more humane way to raise our cattle.
To preserve the integrity of the beef. Our beef is blastfrozen in extreme low temperatures which result in smaller ice crystals that will not damage the fiber structure of your beef and produces less water loss when thawing. Most supermarkets may defrost and re-freeze beef several times producing a severely damaged piece of beef. At Texas Beef Traders we keep it frozen until it is in your home as to not compromise the quality of your cut.
Our retail locations do thaw and reserve a few of the more popular cuts for purchase. Just ask a sales associate what is in stock. If you let us know in advance we'll be happy set aside any special requests you may have to thaw in our refrigerators.
We recommend thawing your beef 24 - 48 hours in the fridge depending on the size and thickness.
We don't do any cutting of beef in-store. However, we are happy to fulfill any special requests! We'll work with our processor to get you the cut you desire!
If you can't find what you're looking for please let us know. We are always willing to source cuts to your exact specifications!

Absolutely! A 3-ounce serving of beef—about the size of an iPhone—provides more than 10 essential nutrients including protein, iron, zinc and vitamins B12 and B6. One serving of beef contains about half of your Daily Value for protein in around 170 calories on average (and just 150 calories for a serving of lean beef
According to
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Nutrient Data Laboratory. USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Current: May 2016. Internet: http://www.ars.usda.gov/ba/bhnrc/ndl
Beef is a nutritional powerhouse in a smaller package than other protein foods. Apart from being a great source of protein, it would take 8 ounces of cooked chicken breast to eat the same amount of iron as in just 3 ounces of beef, and nearly 7 times (20 ounces) the amount of chicken to get the same amount of zinc in a serving of beef!
