Discover > Farm to Table Eating in Texas > World Class Wagyu in Austin’s Backyard
Located in the scenic hills of Travis County, Ranger Cattle is a world-class provider of pasture-raised Wagyu beef (What wine goes well with beef?). With access to more than 3,000 acres of land for free-range grazing, ranchers at Ranger Cattle believe that keeping their stock away from additives and harmful hormones is the key to producing consistently high-quality meat.
An active member of the American Wagyu Association and the Texas Wagyu Association, Ranger Cattle ensures that Austinites can find unparalleled Wagyu beef right at home in their own backyard. Authentic Wagyu is considered one of the most luxurious, high-end meats on the market, renowned for its buttery flavor, mouthwatering tenderness, and trademark marbled pattern.
Is Wagyu Beef Worth It?
Though it is revered for its rich taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture, Wagyu beef also offers several crucial health benefits. Compared to its lower-grade counterparts, Wagyu bears higher amounts of monounsaturated fat, known to lower bad cholesterol levels as well as reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. The coveted marbling for which Wagyu is famous provides the meat with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which help protect against arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure, and more.
Traditional Ranching Meets Modern Science
To ensure the production of authentic Wagyu beef, Ranger Cattle couples cutting-edge modern science with traditional cattle farming that is free of artificial aids or additives. The company has received glowing critical acclaim, with one happy customer writing: “Beyond a great experience! The ranch is beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food is simply impeccable. If you don’t have a great time here then you might as well leave Texas, period.”
To make their products accessible to fellow Austin residents, Ranger Cattle has partnered with several of the city’s farmers’ markets to support farm-to-table and eat local initiatives. Shoppers wishing to explore the ranch’s Wagyu selection in person can catch Ranger Cattle at Wolf Ranch Farmers’ Market, located at the Wolf Ranch Town Center in Georgetown. Market hours are 9 am to 1 pm every Saturday. For more information on future sale locations, product features and events, visit Ranger Cattle’s official website.
