Hi Y'all!  We are John and Kellie Ashcraft, a dedicated farming and agricultural couple committed to the raising, harvesting and delivering the highest quality of beef to the local market.  We raise our beef locally here in Ellis County.  Not only do we raise cattle, we live on the farm as well.  John has been a commercial farmer for all of his adult life and for the past 18 years his main focus has been on improving the quality of our herd.  We strive to bring you quality beef at a reasonable price.  All of our Angus cattle are antibiotic and hormone free, finished on grass and grain, and sent to a Texas State &/or a USDA inspected processing facility.  We feel that there is a big importance of finishing cattle on a grain.  Not only does it supplement their nutrients but it also gives that marbling throughout the beef.  We have our cattle start on grain about the last 100-125 days.  Once at the processor, our beef is the dry aged for 14-21 days which enhances the flavor and tenderness.  Upon completion of the dry aging, once cut and packaged, they are then flash frozen to lock in all that freshness.  YUMMY!  

You can order anything from 1 package of hamburger meat, to a whole cow.  We offer price reductions for bulk orders so please contact us if you're interested in a large order. We look forward to being your one stop shop for all of your fresh beef needs.

Stay Safe & Eat Beef!

We are a certified Go Texan producer!

 So far, we have tried their Fajita beef, cube steak, T-Bones, and ground beef. They are all fantastic! You really can tell the difference between this and the store bought meats. We have already put in our second order. Can't wait! The prices are great, and we were even able to arrange for delivery. Thanks to Adam Uhrich and Jenny Uhrich for the recommendation!
