In their words.
Watterson Ranch raises, processes, and sells USDA inspected, dry aged beef in quarter, half and whole quantities within Central Texas. Natural. Local. Grass fed. Sustainable. These are principles that Watterson Ranch has embodied since the 50s. The 1850s. As the sixth generation to grow up on this land raising cattle, we grew up eating beef we had raised, a luxury then available only to family. Things are done right when you know your family will put it on their plates. We produce food that is honest-no shortcuts, fillers or additives. We never use hormones or antibiotics. Our cattle freely roam and graze on what God has provided. Fresh grass in the summer, hay from our own pastures in the winter, free choice natural minerals and plenty of fresh, clean water. Our cattle are never penned up in a feedlot or fed grain, but we believe that quality matters-in the happiness of our animals, in our impact to the land and the world, and in the food that you consume. It matters. USDA inspected, great tasting certified grass-fed beef from a local, sustainable, and proud Texas ranch, previously available only to our kin. Welcome to the family.
Watterson Ranch lists dry-aged and grass-fed on their public-facing materials. These are the producer’s own claims; we do not independently audit them.
