Details:
A whole cow typically yields 400–500 lbs of finished beef, all custom cut, dry-aged about 14 days, vacuum-sealed, and packed to last. Whether you're stocking your own freezer, splitting with family, or sharing with neighbors, this is the best value Graham Cattle Co. offers.
When you buy beef directly from a ranch, you get:
Lower prices per pound than grocery stores
Superior quality from dry-aging and careful handling
Real traceability and full transparency
Texas-raised beef supporting Texas families
Our beef is processed at Texas Natural Meats, a USDA-inspected facility, ensuring safety, consistency, and premium standard cuts.
Our cattle are raised right here in Central Texas, processed at a USDA facility, and priced based on the national beef market average. When you buy direct from a local ranch, you get better flavor, better pricing, and full confidence in where your beef comes from—no middlemen, no mass-production, no mystery.
When you reserve a Whole or Half Cow Share, you’ll fill out a Custom Cut Sheet that lets you tailor your beef to your exact preferences. This is one of the biggest advantages of buying from a local ranch.
With the cut sheet, you’ll be able to choose things like:
How thick you want your steaks
How many steaks per package
How you prefer your brisket cut
The size of roasts your family uses
Whether you want bones, organs, or specialty cuts
Our butcher prepares your beef according to your selections, ensuring that every cut you take home fits your cooking style and household needs.
