Grass-Fed Beef Local Small Farm Ranchers

We Believe in care & Quality

Farm to Table Beef

At Livingood Cattle Co., we take pride in our commitment to raising cattle the right way. Our cattle are grass-fed and pasture-raised, ensuring they roam freely and graze naturally on our open pastures. We believe in producing clean, high-quality beef, and that begins with how we care for our animals.

Our cattle are locally raised with a focus on sustainable and ethical farming practices. We partner with small business processors who share our dedication to quality and integrity, ensuring that every step of the process—from farm to table—upholds the highest standards. This approach not only guarantees superior beef but also supports our local economy and fosters a strong sense of community.

At Livingood Cattle Co., our story is about family, faith, and a commitment to doing things right. Founded by a veteran and nurtured by Christian faith, our ranch is a testament to the values that guide us. Livingood Cattle Co. embraces values that go beyond the ranch. Guided by our Christian principles, we raise our Longhorns with love and care, ensuring that every bite of our grass-fed, grass-finished beef is a testament to our commitment to quality, compassion, and sustainable practices.

From the Rancher

A message from Brennan “Gator” Palmiter

A common theme in many people’s lives is, “when one chapter closes another chapter begins”. My story is no different. From shifting gears as a racecar driver to joining up with my beloved corp, each chapter has been an incredible journey.

So how did we get from racing cars to being a welder, to Infantry Marine, rodeo cowboy, to now rancher? After 8 years in the rodeo community riding bulls, I began to age out, slow down, and, ultimately, stopped bouncing after getting bucked off. However, I wasn’t ready to give up the Western way of life and developed a love for the animals in the sport. Ever since I was little, I have been a cowboy… with no cattle. I discovered Longhorn cattle, an iconic animal with fancy colors and amazing horns! I mean, who doesn’t recognize a herd of longhorns from a distance?

After working for many different cattle operations, the desire to raise my herd has always been close to my heart. In 2022, the opportunity finally came with the purchase of some land in Alvord, Texas. At first, our only thought was raising longhorns and running a cow/calf operation.

Many cattlemen suggested that we don’t raise longhorns as beef cattle. Saying things like, “They aren’t fatty cattle”, “the horns are hard to work around”, and “Longhorns aren’t real beef cattle”. That is until I met some passionate people who work with longhorn cattle and produce beef.

They shared their passion about why they love longhorn beef for the health benefits of eating this type of beef. The rich history of the breed and the way God created these animals yields the best to a free-range cattle that consumes only grass.

After processing one of the longhorns and experiencing the flavor, we were blown away and had to share this amazing product. My first experience of cooking ground and having very little grease in the pan with rich flavor, I knew I was hooked.

Through this journey, I have had the pleasure to meet so many unique people and share our local, small-farm beef.
