Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Brownwood, TX
Brownwood anchors Brown County, a Central Texas town that has long understood the worth of honest food raised on honest land.

Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef Near Brownwood
United Supermarkets at 300 E Commerce Street (76801) is Brownwood's main full-service grocery and carries a meat selection. Keep in mind that a "grass-fed" label describes how the animal was raised, not where it lived; plenty of what's on US shelves is imported from Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, or Brazil. If you want beef from American ranchers, look for "Product of USA." Effective January 1, 2026, that USDA label requires the beef to be born, raised, and processed in the United States.
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 set by the hanging weight once the animal is processed, with a fixed deposit 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. 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 worth turning into a weekend.
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 Brownwood area yet, so from Brown County 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.
