We raise beef cattle from a cow-calf, grass-fed herd based near Ammansville, Texas in the rolling prairie of Fayette county. 

The cattle are given no hormones, antibiotics, parasiticides, or other chemicals.  They are raised in open pastures and are not fattened in feed lots. As a result, the beef is lower in the saturated fat associated with heart disease, and higher in the omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acids linked to support of the immune system and protection against cancer and diabetes.  Grassfed beef is also found to have higher levels of the antioxidants, vitamin E and beta-carotene, which evidently reduce cardiovascular risks.  Please see the websites for the American Grassfed Association and the Organic Grassfed Beef Coalition for more background on the benefits of grassfed and organic beef.

The cattle graze the pastures briefly under an intensive 13-cell rotation, allowing native grasses and forbs to recover and regrow.  The land receives no artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals.  Texas Parks and Wildlife recognized the operation in its Lone Star Land Steward program for progressive work on land protection and restoration. The Texas Department of Agriculture tests and certifies the herd and land as organic, under the National Organic Program and Organic Foods Production Act of 1990.

We hope you will try some beef from SWT Cattle, and believe that you'll find it to be healthy, tender, and tasty.
