About Us

---

Like many homesteaders, we wanted to raise our own livestock. So after much deliberation, we decided to buy some longhorns and give it a go. Now we want to share with you what we have come to know, Longhorn beef is great tasting and healthy.

At Oates and Hay Ranch, we are committed to providing the highest level of care and welfare for our animals. We follow strict standards and guidelines to ensure that our animals are healthy, happy, and well-cared for. We benefit when our food sources are allowed to live as they were created.

Our animals eat what they can graze on our land and hay in winter and times of drought, that's it. So you are getting highly nutritious beef from cattle that live like cattle should, plus our beef is USDA inspected.

So why Texas Longhorns and not another breed of cow? Well, that is easy to answer, Longhorns are a classic breed, rooted in the Old West, their lineage is closer to the wild cattle that roamed the grasslands versus breeds that have been domesticated and bred for certain traits to maximize weight gain. Therefore, Longhorns are more resistant to sickness and have less health problems that other breeds.  Due to these genetic traits, Longhorns are naturally lean producing excellent tasting beef with an excellent nutrition profile.
