Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Brownsville, TX
Brownsville is the southernmost major city in Texas, and more families here are paying close attention to where their food comes from.

Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef Near Brownsville
H-E-B runs several Brownsville stores, including locations at 1628 Central Blvd, 2250 Boca Chica Blvd, 2155 Paredes Line Rd, and 2950 Southmost Rd (78520 and 78521), each carrying grass-fed options. A "grass-fed" label tells you how the animal was raised, not where; a lot of what sits on US shelves is imported from Australia, New Zealand, or South America. Look for "Product of USA" before you assume local origin.
How the Shares Work
You reserve a share of the animal: a whole cow, a half cow, or a quarter cow. Halves and wholes are cut to your choices on a cut sheet; a quarter comes as a balanced split quarter. A quarter runs roughly 75 to 90 lbs of packaged beef, a half 150 to 180 lbs, and a whole 300 to 360 lbs, all steaks, roasts, ground beef, brisket, short ribs, and soup bones. Your price is based on the hanging weight once the animal is processed, with a fixed deposit set by share size to reserve it. 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 covers freezer space, transport, and choosing a size, and figure a half cow needs about 10 to 15 cubic feet of freezer, a quarter about 7 to 10. If you make the drive, historic Downtown McKinney's square is minutes away, with local shops, restaurants, winery tasting rooms, and TUPPS Brewery, so it's easy to turn the trip into a weekend.
Why Brownsville Families Choose Texas Grass-Fed
Brownsville ISD families and the professional households tied to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and the local medical community are increasingly after clean, traceable protein. A share from Texas Grass Fed Farms means no feedlot finish, no imported origin, no antibiotics, and no added hormones, plus a direct connection to the Texas regenerative ranchers we partner with. When you reserve a share, you're backing those ranchers and the land they steward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where and when is pickup?
Pickup is in McKinney, TX, on a scheduled Saturday, once the animal is processed and the hanging weight is confirmed. There's no route to the Valley yet, so from Brownsville this 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?
These days, none. Grass-fed cattle can't be fed grain, so grass-fed and grass-finished describe the same thing: an animal that ate grass and forage its whole life. Our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, and the label says nothing about country of origin, so check 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 are the primary sources of grass-fed beef sold in the US. Effective January 1, 2026, the USDA requires beef labeled "Product of USA" to be born, raised, and processed in the United States. Every share we sell meets that standard.
