Raised the Right Way

Why Livingood Cattle?

Our grass-fed, pasture-raised Texas Longhorn cattle are raised with care right here in North Texas.

Every animal is responsibly raised without added hormones or antibiotics and processed at a USDA-inspected facility. Depending on processor scheduling and availability, your beef may be wet aged or dry aged to maximize tenderness and flavor before it’s professionally cut and packaged.

As a veteran-owned ranch, we’re committed to providing exceptional beef, honest pricing, and a straightforward buying experience from start to finish.
