Texas Longhorn cattle on pasture at Fun-EE Farm
Direct from the farm · Waveland, Indiana

Pasture-Raised Texas Longhorn Beef.

Lean, heritage-breed beef from cattle that lived their entire life on grass at Fun-EE Farm. Booked by the whole, half, or quarter — fall butcher dates open every year.

Why Longhorn Beef

A breed that puts on muscle, not marbling.

Texas Longhorn cattle have spent four hundred years on this continent learning how to thrive on grass. They are not a beef breed in the modern sense — they were never bred to fatten quickly in a feedlot. What that means for your freezer is leaner cuts, beefier flavor, and a meat profile that tends to come out healthier on a panel.

How It Works

Four steps from order to freezer.

  1. 01

    Order

    Fill out the form below with your preferences. We confirm availability and send a deposit invoice.

  2. 02

    Scheduled

    Your animal is scheduled with our local butcher. We coordinate the date and let you know when to expect pickup.

  3. 03

    Cut & Wrap

    You work with the butcher on a cut sheet — steak thickness, ground portions, roasts. We can help if it is your first time.

  4. 04

    Pickup

    You pick up frozen, vacuum-sealed beef from the butcher. We handle final balance with you at that point.

Common Questions

Things first-time buyers usually ask.

How far in advance do I need to order?

For a fall butcher (Sep–Nov), we recommend booking by mid-summer at the latest. Spots fill up. A deposit locks in your slot.

How much freezer space do I need?

Rule of thumb: 1 cubic foot of freezer per 35–40 lbs of cut beef. A whole runs 9–11 cu ft, a half runs 5–6 cu ft, a quarter fits in a standard chest freezer with space left over.

What cuts come standard?

A typical share includes ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, T-bone or porterhouse, chuck and rump roasts, sirloin tip, stew meat, short ribs, brisket (when the animal yields it), soup bones, and the rest as ground beef. You can adjust most of this on the cut sheet.

Is it priced by hanging weight or final cuts?

Whole and half are priced by hanging weight (the weight after the animal is dressed but before final cutting), plus a per-pound processing fee. Quarters and bundles are flat-priced. The estimates on this page assume average hanging weights — your actual total will be confirmed when the butcher weighs the animal.

Why is Longhorn beef leaner than other freezer beef?

Texas Longhorns are a heritage breed. They put on muscle rather than marbling, which means leaner meat and lower cholesterol. The flavor is beefier — most folks who try it once stick with it.

Do you ship?

No. Pickup is at the butcher (Western Indiana). We can occasionally help coordinate delivery within ~50 miles for whole-beef orders.

How does payment work?

A $250 deposit holds your order. Final balance is due at pickup, by check, cash, or e-transfer. We can split the half-beef invoice between two buyers.

What if my freezer can't hold a whole or half?

A quarter beef fits in most chest freezers, and the ground beef bundle fits in a standard kitchen freezer. Or — borrow a friend's freezer for a few weeks; your beef will keep for 12+ months vacuum-sealed.
