Ranchers Fed Beef — Attraction in Granbury

I use to really like this place. HOWEVER my experience with purchasing 1/2 a beef was………. Piss poor. I did a TON of research before committing to such a big purchase. Upon arrival my wife and I were asked maybe 3 questions about what we wanted such as “do you want soup bones” and “how thick do you want your steaks” nothing very specific unlike all the research and calls made to people who do purchase half a beef on a regular bases. About a week later I receive a phone call by Ranchers Fed Beef that my order was ready for pick up. Me being3 days out of bicep surgery along with my wife arrived to pick up our half a beef. The young ladies who helped load my truck seemed very unsure about what was supposed to go with me and seemed very nervous almost as if we would notice the quantity we’re receiving. After spending what I spent on a half a beef without hesitation I can say WOW I GOT RIPPED OFF. First I would say the ground chuck is absolute garbage, steaks were handled pretty poorly, the amount of beef we received is HALF of what other people, friends, and family receive from their suppliers for right around the same price and all around the beef tastes like it’s been at the bottom of their freezers for a while and needed rid of. I weighed EVERYTHING we received minus the “Bonus” meats we received and I didn’t even touch 200lbs. Being said that my so called “half a beef” was pieced together it did not come from one singular steer, and I really feel like I was taken advantage of.

Being said that I made it a point to ask around after being extremely disappointed about others experiences buying half a beef from this place and from what I was told not only were people spoken to like they were stupid but I also had a couple individuals who claim they were threatened and even asked to “step outside to fight” for asking for a refund…….. WOW!! I mean don’t get me wrong I’m all for embracing violence but how unprofessional. I have yet to walk in to this store to complain about my half a beef and request a refund for the simple fact that I have children that depend on me to put food on the table.

Lastly I would like to speak on the simple fact that the weight and for the money does not add up, the taste of the beef is less than choice grade beef. I have bought little $200 and $300 packs from this place and it was decent which is why we went with this place in first place. But after chats I’ve had and my experience along with money wasted and trying other beef from the surrounding area I will be taking my business elsewhere. Seeing that the probability of getting a refund let alone a response is slim to none think twice before shopping here. I wish...

On 1/19/25 I picked up 1/2 beef I ordered. We specifically asked for two 3” tomahawks, a 3 bone prime rib and what was left be made into steaks. We received a 1.25” tomahawk and a 2” tomahawk. I called on Monday to let them know. I hadn’t even opened the package but could tell they were thin. I took them in and they measured them. The grandson was very helpful. He called the person who processed our meat. They obviously cut it wrong and didn’t want to take responsibility. I left my number they said someone would call. I tried to compromise and say I’d be find with two 2” but I haven’t heard anything back. I also specifically requested the fat trimming and suet when placing the order. They said they would bag it up for me however we didn’t receive...

Popped in on way back from vet and wanted my doggo to have some good bones. Mike was great, even though I looked like I just rolled out of bed. He has a lot of pride in his work and his wife gave me the most beautiful lotion she makes. I had no idea what I was in for and was not expecting too much. Took home: 2 bacon wrapped filets, huge orange roughy filets, halibut, tamales, colossal shrimp, barbecue sauce. Was thrilled to boot as I work for a high end chef company in Dallas, (can't tell you who we feed,) but the quality here rivals what we get at boutique meat, game and fish markets in Dallas. Best filet ever made at home.

Prices better than Central Market, better quality and love supporting small business.
