Supporting Local Growers

OUR CALF SOURCING

Here at Designer Beef of Texas, we honor those who serve our country. We admire the men and women who help keep us free and safe, and we respect those who provide for our needs, both domestically and in the international communities.

Designer Beef of Texas has amassed what might be the largest network of local beef growers in the nation. We source only high quality calves from family owned, cow calf operations across northeast Texas and even some in Oklahoma!

Ranches that meet our rigorous requirements can expect larger payouts on cattle due to our unique purchasing program:

For every cow that passes our selection process Designer Beef of Texas pays out top rates set by the cattle auction in Oklahoma City, plus a $100 tip to the rancher per head purchased!

Through this diverse network, Designer Beef of Texas is able to hand pick only the finest of steers for your family. Our calf selection process includes hands on health checks, genetic testing, and carcass quality evaluations. In some cases the use of ultrasound has been employed to determine marbling expectations.

Once a calf has been deemed fit to be a Designer Beef of Texas beef cow, it makes the often short journey to our ranch here in Detroit, TX. Once the calf arrives it will be integrated into our herd where it will spend the remainder of it life on our beautiful facilities living the Wagyu Lifestyle!
