Lean Longhorn Beef

"Red meat is really a treasure trove of nutrients, including protein, iron, vitamin B12, and more. One of the healthiest red meats is Longhorn beef, which is extremely low in fat."
—Cliff Sheats, Certified nutritionist, and nationally recognized author of "Lean Bodies, Total Fitness".
"Lean beef is good for you—and the key word is 'lean.' A heart patient can eat steak at every meal if it is in the right proportions. Longhorn meat on the average contains 10% less saturated fat than that of other cattle. That puts lean Longhorn beef on par with skinned boneless white meat of chicken and that may come as a surprise to many dieticians."
—Dr. Joseph Graham, Cardiovascular Surgeon at
St. John's Medical Center, Joplin, Missouri.

The majestic animals you see on the pages of this site are our breeding stock. They do not go into the beef program.

But it's a biological and mathematical fact that 95% of young bull calves simply will not have a job when they grow up. However, if they can help us eat a healthy and nutritional diet, they will have served a purpose in their lives. So our beef comes from young steers who are processed at 22 to 25 months of age.
Prices good at Dallas Farmers Market, for over-the-counter sales and for home deliveries. For shipping, please go to the Texas Longhorn Co-op web site.
