Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Midland, TX
Midland sits in the heart of the Permian Basin, and folks out here know good beef. 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. Here's the honest part: our pickup is in McKinney, up in North Texas. That's a long haul from Midland, so we're not there yet. Join the list and we'll tell you the day we reach the Permian Basin. If you're willing to make the drive, you can reserve a share now.
Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef in Midland
Midland has a few in-store options. Natural Grocers at 3001 Loop 250 Frontage Rd specializes in 100% grass-fed meat and is the strongest local pick, while H-E-B carries grass-fed selections at 5407 Andrews Hwy (79706) and 3325 W Wadley Ave (79707). A "grass-fed" label tells you how the animal was raised, not where; a lot of what's on Texas 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 a whole 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. A half needs roughly 10 to 15 cubic feet of freezer, a quarter about 7 to 10, so plan to 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, on a scheduled Saturday, once the animal is processed and the hanging weight is confirmed. There's no route to the Permian Basin yet, so from Midland 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.
