Pasture-Raised · Grain-Finished · Antibiotic-Free · No Added Hormones
Explore Our BeefRed River Ranches was founded with a clear purpose: to produce clean, high-quality Texas Wagyu beef while preserving the land and resources that make it possible. Our cattle are pasture-raised on North Texas ranchland, slowly grain-finished for marbling and flavor, and never receive added hormones or antibiotics. Every decision — from breeding to grazing to finishing — is guided by long-term land health, animal welfare, and consistency of outcome.
Explore Our RanchesShaped by native grasses and spring-fed creeks, our land supports both healthy cattle and a resilient ecosystem. We manage our pastures with intention, avoiding overgrazing and allowing natural recovery.
Carefully selected Wagyu genetics paired with proven Angus lines to produce beef defined by balance: refined marbling, clean flavor, and natural structure — without overcomplicating classifications.
Pasture-raised, then finished by hand on a premium Wagyu-specific ration. The result is balanced marbling, clean richness, and depth of flavor that reflects exactly how the animal was raised.
Red River Ranches is a family-run cattle operation based in North Texas along the Red River. Our ranches span more than 3,000 acres, shaped by native grasses and spring-fed creeks that support both healthy cattle and a resilient landscape.
Carefully selected Wagyu genetics are paired with proven Angus cattle lines to produce beef defined by balance: refined marbling, clean flavor, and natural structure. Our Texas Wagyu program includes cattle with varying Wagyu influence, enabling us to prioritize eating quality without overcomplicating classifications. Every decision — from breeding to grazing to finishing — is guided by long-term land health, animal welfare, and consistency of outcome.
Our guiding principles are simple — conservation of the land, responsible stewardship of cattle, and respect for the broader ecosystem. We manage our pastures with intention, prioritizing balance over output and long-term land health over short-term gains.
Our cattle are pasture-raised before transitioning to a carefully managed ranch finishing program. They are finished by hand using a premium Wagyu-specific ration, supporting balanced marbling, clean richness, and depth of flavor that reflects how the animal was raised.
Red River Ranches is not about scale or shortcuts. It is about discipline, patience, and a commitment to producing exceptional Texas beef while leaving the land better than we found it.
When you choose Red River Ranches, you are choosing beef rooted in balance, guided by stewardship, and raised with purpose.
We offer Wagyu by whole or half allocation — purchased directly from a single animal. Buyers are welcome to coordinate privately if they choose to split an allocation. All pricing is based on take-home weight — the actual packaged, freezer-ready beef you receive after processing.

The full allocation of a single Wagyu animal — the complete range of cuts from a single source. ~575 lbs take-home, ~$6,900 typical.

Slowly transitioned to a high-quality grain ration in their final months — the patient finish that develops Wagyu's signature marbling and flavor.
No added hormones, no antibiotics, no growth promotants — ever. Just cattle, pasture, and time.
$1,000 whole · $500 half. Your deposit is applied to the final balance.
Your steer is finished on our ranch and harvest is scheduled with our processor. You'll work directly with the processor on cut sheets and any custom selections.
Once the processor finishes cutting and packaging, we send you a final invoice based on your actual take-home (packaged) weight at $12/lb.
You pay your balance directly to Red River Ranches, and the processing fee directly to the processor.
The processor releases your packaged, freezer-ready beef once both payments clear. From freezer to table on your schedule.
Order minimums: whole or half steer. Take-home weight is the actual packaged beef you receive after the processor cuts, trims, and vacuum-seals your order — different from hanging or carcass weight, which includes bone and trim.
$12 per lb take-home weight
Typical total: $6,500 – $7,200 · F1 Wagyu × Angus
A whole allocation represents the full share of a single Red River Ranches Texas Wagyu steer — the complete range of cuts, from premium steaks to everyday ground beef.
Take-home weight is the actual packaged beef you receive after cutting and trimming — not hanging or carcass weight.
Purchasing a whole allocation means reserving an ownership interest in a specific animal prior to harvest.
Because each animal is unique, weight and final yield vary slightly. Buyers should be comfortable with natural variation and planning for freezer storage, processing selections, and timing.
Our team guides customers through each step.
