Premium Local Beef

Through meticulous breeding to meet purebred standards, our Braunvieh Cattle produce clean, healthy, and premium beef. They are raised on pasture right here in Parker County, TX, in a low-stress handling environment to ensure the highest-quality beef for your dinner table.

The Braunvieh Breed Dates Back to 800 B.C.

Braunvieh may be the oldest pure breed on Earth, with records dating back to 800 B.C. Our beef comes from direct descendants of quite possibly the oldest cattle breed on Earth. This old dual-purpose breed originated in Switzerland and is known for producing quality meat and milk in the high altitudes of the Swiss Alps on modest inputs.

About Us

Quality seedstock beef cattle, show cattle, & premium Braunvieh beef

Our Braunvieh seedstock beef cattle herd was built up from Molly's junior show heifers. We have always believed a strong foundation is built around good cow families selected for their structure and maternal traits first, then the extras. Star Ranch is dedicated to passing on the very best in quality seedstock beef cattle, show cattle, and premium Braunvieh beef.

A Mother–Daughter Team

Molly & Leslie built the Star Ranch cattle program from the ground up with the passion, drive, honesty, and stubbornness instilled by generations past.

If you give a kid a calf…

One show heifer. That's all it took to ignite a passion for all things related to the pursuit of producing better cattle & passing that on to the next generation.

Why Buy Local Beef?

Due to current laws since the repeal of COOL (country of origin labeling) in 2015, beef and pork that is imported from other countries and processed here can be labeled "product of USA".  So where is that cheaper meat at the store really from? What safety and environmental standards was it produced under? As a consumer, buying industrially-processed beef means you have no control over these uncertainties. By purchasing local beef, you ensure that the meat you and your family enjoy is raised locally using all-natural, healthy processes.

Ranch-Raised Beef vs. Industrial Beef

Our cattle are raised the way they were decades and decades ago, as nature intended: out on open pasture. Our beef is finished with the highest-quality grain to ensure that the best product reaches your family's dinner table. All our beef is single-animal sourced, meaning the beef you get from us contains meat from one single animal, unlike industrial processed ground beef that can contain the DNA of thousands of individuals from varying origins.

FAQ

What is so special about Braunvieh cattle?

Braunvieh may be the oldest pure breed on Earth, with records dating back to 800 B.C. Our beef comes from direct descendants of quite possibly the oldest cattle breed on Earth. This old dual-purpose breed originated in Switzerland and is known for producing quality meat and milk in the high altitudes of the Swiss Alps on modest inputs. 

What does "responsibly-raised" mean?

We raise our cattle with the same care and attention that we would want anyone else to take with the food that would be served at our family dinner table. We take precautions to keep their environment as low-stress as possible so they can preform both in the ring and on the table. 

Do you use antibiotics or hormones?

We never use "growth hormones" in our cattle, while antibiotics are used only for life-saving measures in our herd.
