Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Port Arthur, TX
Port Arthur anchors Jefferson County's Mid-County region along the Texas Gulf Coast, a working city with a strong blue-collar backbone and families who take their food seriously. Texas Grass Fed Farms sells 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef by the share, whole cow, half cow, and quarter cow, all 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 Port Arthur, so we're not there yet.

Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef in Port Arthur
Port Arthur has two H-E-B locations carrying grass-fed beef: the Gulfway Drive store at 3401 Gulfway Dr and the Mid-County store at 4800 B Hwy 365. Both stock grass-fed sections, but a "grass-fed" label tells you how the animal was raised, not where. H-E-B carries a mix of US-raised and imported grass-fed beef depending on the product, so check for "Product of USA" before you assume domestic origin. For Texas-raised grass-fed beef by the share, Texas Grass Fed Farms offers pickup in McKinney.
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, and more. 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; plan on roughly 10 to 15 cubic feet for a half and 7 to 10 for a quarter. 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 Golden Triangle yet, so from Port Arthur 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.
