We just received our 1/2 of beef!!! WOW Amazing taste! The meat was packaged very well and labeled nicely! We will return when this runs out :) We live in Florida, our last beef purchase was from a local farmer and it was horrible, after 6 months we gave what we had away I could'nt tolerate the taste any longer. We found Bastrop Cattle CO on the web and are so great full for their meat and professional delivery! Buy from here!!! read more

Would not recommend. We paid $2,300 for half a cow and all the cuts are extremely tough beef. While they sent us additional cuts to try and compensate, those were equally as hard to chew. We have tried smoking, baking, searing, grilling all sorts of different methods to try and get the beef tenderized. None have worked. If you want to use two hands to try and pull the meat out of your bites, buy from Bastrop. Last year we bought a quarter cow from a different regenerative vendor with grass fed and finished beef - and it was the best beef we have ever had so we know it is not our cooking methods. read more

Great experience with BCC. Buddy and I went in on a quarter cow and it was delivered right to the door with each cut individually wrapped and marked for easy use. Grass-fed beef looks amazing in the packages and can't wait to dig in. With beef prices being so outrageous at the grocery it was time to buy in bulk from a local place where you know what you're getting. Will definitely use them again, but it way better a while since my freezers are STUFFED. read more

See all

These are some well loved cows, you can taste it! If you are in search of quality, 100% Grass-fed and FINISHED beef, do yourself a favor and look no further than the Bastrop Cattle Company. Max is an excellent communicator and never disappoints, thank you again! read more

Bastrop Cattle Co - Meat Shops Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

This is my first time to order from Bastrop Cattle and i am so pleased with the cuts i received!!! i highly recommend this business and plan to buy my beef here going forward, and the communication regarding the order was good. read more

I have bought multiple quarters and half cows. The Batrop cattle company beef is tough. None of the cuts are good including ground beef. The harvested animal is too young and not at all tender. I have tried every cooking method with the same result. I wish I could sell back the meat I have bought. There is little enjoyment in preparing this beef. Sorry but I have to be truthful. I know my beef and this stuff is gross! It's not a grass fed thing it's a very young animal premature to be butchered! Update: I spoke to the management and as a good gesture they sent me additional steaks. I was appreciative. The new steak were much like the others. What I found helpful to soften up the meat was meat tenderizer. I had never needed this for other meat product but it did work well. Bastrop Cattle are good people. I will improve my review to three stars from one but other buyers planning to spend $2k on beef should know what they are getting! read more

I had a great experience with this company! Delivery was smooth, the people are very friendly, and the meat is excellent quality. Pricing was fair as well. Part of my order was missing, but when I called, Max handled it quickly and professionally. Within two weeks the missing items were delivered right to my front door. Mistakes happen, but the way they took care of it showed great customer service. I'll definitely be ordering again! Chris S. read more

I bought the 20lb ground beef combination. The product came quick and communication was smooth. Support local ranchers!

Amazing product and customer service! Delivery was easy, quick and beef was cold upon arrival. I Bastrop Cattle Company!

Excellent delivery. The meat was amazingly good. Great company! Will use them again, and again...

Hands down the best grass fed beef I've had in years. Being 22 with a future in body building I've been searching everywhere for a good sustainable source of protein. I am THOROUGHLY impressed by the taste,service and kindness that Bastrop Cattle Co has offered. Not only did they deliver my whole cow 2 hours away, they also provided extremely helpful tips on how to cook with grass fed beef. Good thing I know how to read and not burn meat! My family and I highly recommend Bastrop Cattle Co to anyone looking for REAL grass-fed beef. I look forward to supporting this fantastic small owned company and the caring people behind it. you guys rock. read more

We ordered a quarter cow; delivery was timely, and communication was good with the team from Bastrop! The beef order was received in insulated boxes, still frozen which was great because we were out until midday. The beef looked good from opening and I looked forward to seeing how it tasted. Ground Beef was delicious, and the steaks were amazing and juicy. The added cooking guide was great because it helped us not overcook the beef! It is a great local business and we are looking forward to when we can get our next order. Thanks, Bastrop!! read more

We're return customers for Bastrop Cattle Company, and thoroughly enjoy their products. They always communicate with us on our orders, and are willing to work with us in the event of any changes. The pricing is well worth the product we receive, as just do not trust meat from the huge markets. We're a few hours away, so it's not always reasonable to pickup an order, in those instances they deliver it to our doorstep - very convenient! Everything is well packed in dry ice, and remains frozen throughout the entire process. read more

The best 100% grass fed beef. The Bastrop Cattle Co. has a user friendly website to order from and it has various cuts of meat packages to choose from. If you taste the Bastrop beef, you will be a customer for life. Highly recommend the Bastrop Cattle Co. read more

Quick responses and great product! Will definitely order again. Even took requests on the cuts of meat I wanted.

I get better grass fed beef from HEB. honestly, this is tough horrible meat. I am almost 60 years old and have grown up on rare to medium rare seared steaks. LOVE them. This meat is truly inedible, tough and disgusting considering the price you pay for it! Spent well over $1,500. They do not return phone calls or emails.....there is no customer service. You must call them for excuses (if they answer) and suggestions on how to cook their meat. Funny, we've already cooked their meat on their initial suggestions, new suggestions.... let's just say it sucks! It is not real grass fed good beef. I love beef.... good thing I never started out with this beef..... I would have been a chicken girl! I want my money back! read more

I paid about $1,800 for a side of beef that is INEDIBLE! I have called them TWICE, listened to their excuses for why the beef is as tough as a mud tire, listened to his PROMISE to send cooking techniques by email and that he would send me 'some' boneless ribeyes at no charge. He's not a man of his word, even though he promised TWICE to do this, he didn't do a thing!! NOT A SINGLE THING!! No email, No steaks, no NOTHING! I offered to bring some of the ribeyes I had bought from him to have him show me how to cook them. I told him if he could make them edible, that I would never complain again!! He declined to do so. Now I'm stuck with almost 200 lbs of worthless meat!!! I would NEVER send them any business and would recommend buying from a ranch that will be honest and sell a EDIBLE product!! Bastrop Cattle Company is a definite NO BUY in my opinion!!! read more

This is my second time ordering. First time small order. This time I ordered 1/4. I have tried a couple other places, mainly those you see advertised everywhere. My family and I love the flavor of all the beef. Honestly, the steaks are thick and a decent size for being grass feed. Generally, they are smaller portions from what I found. I did find one thing interesting about the products, mainly the hamburger. Bastrop Cattle provided info on my first package, so you were aware. You will need to add a bit of olive oil or something when cooking as they really do not add water or anything else that I found. I love this! Grass Feed from HEB obviously adds something as it is very watery. Anyway, this company provides a good product and ensures you like it. Customer service has gone out of their way for me. In saying that, I do not mean complaints. I mean you give the details of preferences when ordering and they actually do it. Secondly, they have went above and beyond to ensure a delivery date was good for me when I informed them of a family emergency. Companies do not generally do that once they get your money. Lastly, I truly believe if you have an issue they will listen and do their best to make it right. Also, rare these days. Let's face it, food is expensive and not real healthy any longer. I found this company on my own after doing research for quality food. I do not think they really advertise as I never heard of them. Anyway, I have enjoyed my experience with them and just wanted to share. I do not generally do reviews unless I really like something or have an issue with a bad company. read more

Probably the chewiest steaks that I have ever tasted. I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but every steak that we have cooked has been terrible. I have emailed them about it twice in the last 6 months and not received a response, which makes their customer service as bad as their steaks. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Absolutely a great company. The beef is really good and the owners are super nice. I will definitely be a repeat customer

One word. DELICIOUS! I've cooked with most of the cuts and have nothing but high praise! I've done flank steak and frites w/ collard greens (cooked with leftover fat caps), t-bones and New York strips seared in cast irons, bulgogi beef (using ground because it's easy for a quick lunch), all manner of Shepard pies and stews...even beef liver pate! The fattier cuts really let the rich flavor of grass fed beef shine, and with the more neutral leaner cuts I've never had an issue with tenderness. I typically aim for a medium rare and don't do anything special aside from salting and peppering in the fridge the day before if I remember. The quality is always great and the order process pretty simple. I've been able to customize and try some cuts I wouldn't have otherwise based on their recommendations! And for the couple of minor issues I've had, they were quick and responsive. Looking forward to many more orders! read more

I happened upon the Bastrop Cattle Company a couple weekends ago at the Bastrop Producers Market and on a whim purchased some stew meat (which I froze) and 2 TBones for my Valentines Day meal. The T Bones turned out perfect and juicy and full of flavor with only some salt, pepper & garlic to season. Last night I decided to defrost the stew meat and make the Texas French Style Stew I found on their website. I started it early this morning and it is almost finished the meat is already so tender and my house smells like heaven on a cold snowy day! So, why should you eat locally sourced grass fed, free range beef? The BCC educated me and set the record straight: Not only is their humane ranching practices good for you (leaner meat , no hormones, with higher amounts of Omega 3's and other important nutrients) and the animals it is good for the local economy! In addition to selling their meet at the local Farmers Markets many local fine dining restaurants serve their beef including Wink and Dai Due. I highly reccomend them and wish I could add the smell of my stew to my review! Check out the recipes link on their website. read more

I think it's fun calculating how much a dollar goes when you cook for yourself. Some would say $1 can get you a pound of beans, which can feed many. Some would say $10 for local vegetables helps the environment and the community. I would say skip the vegetables and spend a mere $2.76 to stuff yourself silly. Bastrop Cattle sells plenty of cuts of beef, but the only thing that was left when I got to the market was soup bones, which was exactly what I wanted. Late bird gets the worm in this case suckers. At a mere $3.50 a lb, I got myself 1 big hunk of beef forearm bone. Upon opening it, it was exactly what I expected, lots of meat surrounding a glorious flat round of bone. Onions, garlic, water, and tons of salt in a crock pot for 6 hours? That's about all it needed. The meat was like pot roast, and the marrow from the bone melted like butter in my mouth. BCC sells some good tasting beef, but best of all, it's affordable and local. read more

Best grass fed beef in Austin, must try! It's more tender and better tasting than any of the other grass fed beef around - this is because of the special way they raise the animals. They also have the best prices. I first found out about BCC from some of the farm to table restaurants in Austin who serve their beef. These are some of the best restaurants in Austin, you can check them out on their site: http://www.bastropcattlecompany.com/where-to-buy/eat.html I did my research and found they are one of the few local ranchers who have 100% grass fed and 100% grass finished beef, unlike most of the others I found that are corn finished or not truly 100% grass fed. There are many restaurants, ranchers, paleo food services and others in Austin that claim to be grass fed/healthy but are not using 100% grass fed and finished beef from local Austin area ranchers. Do your homework! I now have Pati (the owner) deliver steaks and hamburgers right to my door and delivery is free! Doesn't get any better. Sometimes I like to go out to the ranch and see how they raise the animals and I also get a discount so it's great. Wheatsville co-op and may others carry their meat as well. These guys are the best around! read more

If you love beef, keep reading. Our family loves beef. We also know that it's important to not only eat very tasty beef, but to make sure it is grass fed (and grass finished), it comes from a ranch where the cattle are eating grass that hasn't been treated with pesticides and the animals are treated not just humanely, but are treated with kindness and respect and lead great cattle lives. We already knew this beef TASTED great. We'd had it at Thai Fresh and could immediately taste the difference. We started buying it through our delivery with Farmhouse Delivery. Then, along with some neighbors, we went in on a WHOLE COW. When we got the delivery of those hundreds of pounds of beef and all got together to divvy it up, I was in beef heaven. I loaded up our big garage freezer and was salivating. Cutlets. We ended up getting a lot of cutlets. I wasn't sure how that was going to be, as cutlets weren't something I would normally buy. Holy cow! They were fantastic! Such an easy cut for a weekday meal when I get home from work and need to feed my family something healthy and great. We got soup bones (with which I made some amazing bone broth), we got tons of ground beef, some outstanding steaks and roasts and even the gem, hangar steak (if you don't know what that is, look it up). Since that first whole cow, we've done it again and loved every bite. Then a few weeks ago, we contacted Patty at BCC and asked if we could bring our kids out to visit her and the ranch. Not only did she agree, she was excited about it. Giving us directions over the phone with excitement. We got there and could not have been more amazed. The ranch is gorgeous. The cows are beautiful and happy. Patty gave us a full on walking and driving tour. She explained to us why feed lots are horrible. She explained why her cattle are so great. Her passion for what she does is amazing. We loaded up on more beef before we left and the kids haven't stopped talking about our trip since. So, the moral of the story: know where your food comes from, know what goes into producing it and if you're lucky enough to live close to where your beef comes from, load up the family and pay BCC a visit. We will always support BCC and hope the word spreads fast. read more

We started eating local grass-fed beef a few years ago and found the quality of Bastrop Cattle Company's product to be top-notch. The firm, dense muscle fiber and fine marbling yield a rich yet clear beefiness that only grass feeding without corn finishing can create. We buy direct for our own grilling and love getting BCC when we spot it on menus around town. Keep up the good work! read more
