Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Bay City, TX
Bay City sits at the heart of Matagorda County, a stretch of the Texas Gulf Coast where farming and ranching still shape daily life. Texas Grass Fed Farms raises 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef and sells it by the share: whole cow, half cow, and quarter cow, born, raised, and processed right here in Texas. Now the honest part. Our pickup is in McKinney, up in North Texas, and that's a long haul from Bay City, so we're not there yet. Join the list and we'll let you know the day we reach your part of the coast. If you're up for the drive, you can reserve a share today.
Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef in Bay City
The H-E-B at 2700 Seventh is the main full-service grocery in town, and it stocks a grass-fed selection. One thing worth remembering: the "grass-fed" label tells you how the animal was raised, not where it lived. Plenty of what fills US coolers is imported from Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, or Brazil. Check for "Product of USA" before you assume it came from anywhere close to home.
How the Shares Work
You reserve a portion of the animal: a whole cow, a half cow, or a quarter cow. Halves and wholes are cut to your own choices on a cut sheet, while a quarter arrives as a balanced split quarter. A quarter runs roughly 75 to 90 lbs of packaged beef, a half about 150 to 180 lbs, and a whole 300 to 360 lbs, all steaks, roasts, ground beef, brisket, short ribs, soup bones, and more. Your price is set by the hanging weight once the animal is processed, and a fixed deposit tied to your share size holds it for you. Reserve on our bulk grass-fed beef page, and pickup is in McKinney on a scheduled Saturday. New to buying a share? Our grass-fed beef planning guide walks through freezer space, transport, and picking the right size. A half needs roughly 10 to 15 cubic feet of freezer and a quarter about 7 to 10, so size up. If you do make the drive, historic Downtown McKinney's square is minutes from pickup, with local shops, restaurants, winery tasting rooms, and TUPPS Brewery, so it's easy to turn the trip into a weekend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where and when is pickup?
Pickup happens in McKinney, TX, on a scheduled Saturday, after the animal is processed and the hanging weight is confirmed. There's no route to the Gulf Coast yet, so from Bay City that means making the drive or joining the list for when we reach your area. We meet you in McKinney to hand off your beef; nothing gets mailed out.
What is the difference between grass-fed and grass-finished beef?
Today, none. Grass-fed cattle can't be fed grain, so grass-fed and grass-finished point to the very same thing: an animal that ate grass and forage its entire life. Our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, and the label says nothing about country of origin, so look for "Product of USA" when you shop in-store.
Where does most grass-fed beef in US grocery stores come from?
Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, and Brazil supply much of the grass-fed beef sold in the US. Effective January 1, 2026, the USDA requires any beef labeled "Product of USA" to be born, raised, and processed in the United States. Every share we sell meets that standard.
