About Us
Welcome to Ranch Hand Beef! We are a family-owned and operated business deeply rooted in a passion for cattle ranching and horse training. As a father-daughter operation, we’ve dedicated our lives to building a ranching operation that we can proudly pass down and share with those who don’t necessarily have access to this lifestyle. Our commitment to the Western way of life and genuine love for our animals drives everything we do.
Our story begins with James, whose lifelong passion for livestock and horsemanship led him to pursue a degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M. With over 50 years of combined experience working with some of the largest operations in the country, James learned firsthand what it takes to produce the highest-quality beef while staying true to his values. From sustainable ranching practices to low-stress animal handling, James has always believed that doing things right is the only way.
Jaycie, his daughter, grew up alongside James, learning the ropes of cattle ranching and horse training. As a result, she shares his unwavering dedication to personalized care for every animal on their ranch. Together, we manage our operation with a hands-on approach, ensuring our cattle are raised in an stress-free, pasture-rich environment—where each animal is personally overseen with detailed care.
Our operation is built around the careful management of our cattle and horses. We use well-trained horses to move and handle cattle, creating a smooth transition from pasture to pen when it’s time for processing. This low-stress, hands-on approach is a key part of how we raise our cattle, ensuring they’re treated with respect and care every step of the way.
In addition to daily ranch work, our horses are integral to our business. We not only rely on them for cattle management, but we also breed, and compete in cutting horse shows and professional rodeos all year, further deepening our bond with these amazing animals. You can follow us on personal pages to stay updated with that activity.
By raising our cattle with superior knowledge of nutrition paired with low-stress handling, we produce beef that is not only higher in quality, but also more that much more enjoyable for you. When you choose Ranch Hand Beef, you’re supporting a family operation that puts heart and soul into every aspect of the animals and their care.
