Grass-Fed Beef Shares for Rockport, TX
Rockport sits along Aransas Bay in Aransas County, one of the most consistently appealing retirement destinations on the Texas Gulf Coast. The median age runs well into the mid-50s, and communities like Copano Bay Ranchettes, Copano Village, Whistlers Cove, and the active 55-plus neighborhood at Costa Palms are home to people who moved here to live well. Texas Grass Fed Farms sells 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef by the share, whole, half, 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 Rockport, so we're not there yet. Join the list and we'll tell you the day we reach the Coastal Bend. If you're willing to make the drive, you can reserve a share now.
Where to Buy Grass-Fed Beef in Rockport
Rockport has a full H-E-B at 1409 Hwy 35 N Business, and that store carries grass-fed labeled beef in the meat section. 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, Uruguay, or Brazil. Look for "Product of USA" before you assume domestic 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, soup bones, 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. For a coastal household that fishes, kayaks, and cooks at home, one share fills a chest freezer and cuts down the grocery runs. 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 Coastal Bend yet, so from Rockport 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.
