Our
fantastic pastured
BEEF is from Bastrop
Cattle Company. Beef
that lived in a pasture without hormones or antibiotics and never went
to a feedlot. Processed in a small local facility that is USDA
inspected. Raised by farmers paid a decent price for their
goods-this is one of the most important things BCC does. Most farmers
are at the mercy of middle men that pay low prices per pound for the
feedlot. BCC gaurantees it's farmers a set price that encourages them
to want to keep raising grass fed beef. Imagine! Also,
Bastrop
Cattle Co. inspects it's farmers to make sure that what they promise is
what you get. It's the hands-on style of this small business that makes
the products so superior to mass produced meats. Ground, Stew
Ground, Chuck, Sirloin, Tenderized Cutlets, Sirloin and Ribeye Steaks, even some real beef
