Why Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Beef?

Grass-fed & finished beef is better for You as it’s much healthier. Grass-feed beef contains high levels of the good Omega 3 fats (similar to wild caught salmon). Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to prevent and treat many diseases including, heart disease, stroke, autoimmune responses such as lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis, and a number of other conditions. Additionally, studies sited on WebMD show grass-fed beef contains more antioxidants than grain-fed beef. Antioxidants help prevent cell damage that can lead to serious diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. In contrast, conventional grain-finished beef has high levels of the bad Omega 6 fats and low levels of the good Omega 3’s and does not have the antioxidant benefits of grass-feed beef.

Grass-fed & finished beef is better for The World as it’s more humane and environmentally sustainable. Our cattle live long vibrant lives, roam and graze lush pastures, and are protected from man-made toxins. Conventional grain-fed cattle live short unnatural lives where they spend their final 3-9 months crammed in feed lots and fed unhealthy GMO grains, growth hormones, and antibiotics to minimize cost and accelerate weight gain. Grain Production for conventional feed lot cattle requires high amounts of fossil fuels and chemicals and is detrimental to the land and natural ecosystem.

What cuts will I receive? You will receive a mix of most cuts: ~20% steaks, ~40% roast and misc. cuts (such as brisket and ribs), and ~40% ground beef and/or sausage. Additionally, upon request you will also receive the nutritious organs and soup bones. We can send you an approximate breakdown by cut.
Can I request specialty cuts? Our processor can produce most cuts you’ll find in grocery stores. Customization is primarily limited to half animal orders due to processing constraints.
How much freezer space do I need? One cu. ft. can hold up to 30 lbs. of meat. You will need ~25% more for bones. Our cattle often run heavy, so suggest 4-10 cu. ft. for a ¼ cow and 8-20 cu. ft. for a ½ cow.
How will I receive my meat? The order will be delivered free of charge if you are in Austin or nearby. Otherwise, we can make alternative arrangements.
What is a beef share? A beef share is a portion of an animal, which simplifies the process and enables us to keep your price very low versus comparable retail. We will coordinate all processing and delivery arrangements on your behalf and all costs are included in your quoted price.

I have tried great beef around the world and River Hawk is a local treasure. Happy healthy local herd with meat that is tender juicy flavorful and healthy. (And good value) worth buying a small extra freezer for the garage!

Great quality and value for healthy, clean grass-fed beef grown nearby in Texas! I cooked some New York Strips and Tenderloin steaks from River Hawk Ranch last night. They were tender, rich in flavor and terrific. I got many complements on the meat. I was also impressed with the vacuum sealed packaging. Most importantly, you can get to know your neighbor Drew at River Hawk and trust him as i do. I have been out to the ranch and can confirm the operation is as promised – healthy, grass-fed cows that are humanely raised. Reach out to me if i can answer any more questions. Happy Customer

River Hawk Ranch. Amazing beef and deal value! I ordered the quarter cow this past winter and could not be happier. The cuts are all fantastic, from the ground beef to the New York Strips and Chuck roasts. Healthy, clean beef from well-treated animals here in Central Texas. I highly recommend purchasing from this ranch.

We bought 1/4 of a cow! My meat loving husband wanted to eat better quality meats so we went in with several other families and bought a cow together. This quality was off the charts, grass fed, and locally farm raised. I’ve never posted on here before but wanted to give a shout out for a small new local business. If you’re interested in purchasing grass fed, locally farm raised quality meat, please give your business to Andrew Halich at RiverHawkRanchTX@gmail.com. He’s prompt with communication, gives you a full background on your cow and will process/deliver to you! You’ll be glad you tried it!

Where’s the beef?? Well, it’s clearly at River Hawk Ranch. I’ve been buying their product for two years now, excellent marbling, fantastic quality on all cuts (I’ve had NY Strip, Filet Mignon, Ribeye, Shoulder and Chuck roast, strip steak and their skirt steak (best I’ve ever had)). I’ve been buying direct from ranches for over six years now, as well as from major retailers (Sprouts, Whole Foods, local farmers markets). No match to River Hawk which is why I only buy from them now. Quality for value, delivery, customization/cuts, and a personal touch unlike any I’ve dealt with before. Get some more, before I do!

Grass-fed beef from River Hawk Ranch is really good. I have tried skirt steak, chuck roast and ground beef so far. Flavor and texture are way better than grass-fed beef I bought from Whole Foods while the price is substantially lower. I like the meat packaging as well. Steaks and roasts are in vacuum sealed bags. Ground beef is packaged in 1LB bags, which is very convenient.

We went in with some other people and purchased 1/4 of a cow. The service, communication and quality from start to finish was top notch. We enjoyed reading all the info about our cow & processing updates. We are excited to have a fully stocked freezer of the best quality beef you can buy. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable & helpful & we are super happy customers & would recommend this experience to anyone!
