Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Jefferson, TX
Jefferson is one of the most distinctive towns in Northeast Texas, a 19th-century river port on Big Cypress Bayou turned best-preserved Victorian town in the state. The antebellum homes, the bed-and-breakfasts along the brick streets, and the slower pace draw retirees, history lovers, and families who chose this corner of Marion County on purpose. Texas Grass Fed Farms sells 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef by the share, whole cow, half cow, and quarter cow, born, raised, and processed in Texas.

Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef Near Jefferson
Jefferson has no H-E-B, and neither does Marshall, about 17 miles south. The closest H-E-B is in Carthage, roughly 45 miles away via US-59, and Marshall offers a Kroger at 300 E End Blvd N (75670) for staples. A "grass-fed" label tells you how the animal was raised, not where it came from; a lot of what's 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. A half and whole are cut to your choices on a cut sheet; a quarter comes as a balanced split quarter. A quarter runs roughly 75 to 110 lbs of packaged beef, a half 150 to 220 lbs, and a whole 300 to 440 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 at a time we set up with you. New to buying a share? Our grass-fed beef planning guide covers freezer space, transport, and choosing a size. A half needs roughly 10 to 15 cubic feet of freezer, a quarter about 7 to 10, so size up. 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, at a time we set up with you, once the animal is processed and the hanging weight is confirmed. There's no route to Northeast Texas yet, so from Jefferson this means making the drive or joining the list for when we reach your area. We don't ship. Free delivery covers Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties, and pickup is in McKinney.
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.
