Free Beef Fridays: June Calendar

Free Beef Fridays run year-round here at the ranch, and the June calendar is packed with something good every single Friday. Spend $100 in the shop and walk out with a featured cut on us.

• JUNE 5 1 Top Sirloin
• JUNE 12 1 pack of cutlets
• JUNE 19 1 strip (perfect for Father’s Day grilling!)
• JUNE 26 1 Dino Short Rib

This is our little way of saying thank you for supporting a local ranch. Every Friday in June the shop is open, the coffee is on, and that Friday’s featured cut is on us when you spend $100 in the shop.

Pop in on the way home from work, swing by on your lunch break, or make it a new Friday tradition. Bring a friend, tell a neighbor, and try a cut you haven’t grilled before. Our crew loves talking beef and helping you pick the right cut for whatever you’re cooking that weekend.

Free Beef Fridays run year-round, but each Friday’s featured cut is only available while supplies last and only in-store. Get here early for the best pick. Mark your calendars and we’ll see y’all on Friday.

Maggie Moo Round-Up: Summer Edition

Maggie Moo is on the MOO‑ve! All month long, the Maggie Moo Mobile is out and about on deliveries. Spot her off the ranch, snap a photo, post it publicly on Facebook, tag @HooserCustomMeats, tag your location, and use #MaggieMoosOnTheMove to enter.

The prize: a Hooser June Surprise Box packed with steaks, grill cuts, or something fun. You never know what’s inside.

June Double Day: one day each month is a special Double Day, announced on Facebook the day before it happens. On Double Day, Maggie can be spotted in Frost, Italy, Mertens, or Blooming Grove, and the prize doubles to a 4-5 lb Hooser June Surprise Box.

The fine print: sightings at the ranch don’t count, accounts must be public, follow all the rules to qualify, and only 2 entries per household per month (one Regular Day plus one Double Day).

Keep your phone handy. Maggie’s out there making deliveries and spreading the love all month long.

Stock Up For Summer

School’s almost out and the grills are heating up. Whether it’s Memorial Day, the 4th of July, weeknight burgers, kids’ birthdays, or late nights with the neighbors, it all takes ground beef.

Pick a 50, 100, or 200 lb box of Hooser Reserve or Wagyu, vacuum sealed and ready for the freezer, and save up to $500 versus per pound retail.

Hooser Reserve is our house ground beef from cattle raised right here on the ranch. Wagyu is the upgrade for special nights, smash burgers, and lasagnas the kids will be talking about for weeks. Either way, it’s 100 percent Texas grown and finished, vacuum sealed in 1 lb or 2 lb packs, and built to live easy in the freezer until you need it.

Pickup at the ranch or delivery in our zone. Order online or give us a call to lock yours in before grilling season hits full speed.

Heading Toward Harvest

Out at J&L Farms, the corn is climbing fast. AJ checked in on the rows this week (clearly thriving in the Spider-Man shirt) and we have to agree with him. The stalks are already well past a foot tall and we are not far off from harvest. Good land, good rain, and the right timing all came together this season.

Walking the rows this time of year never gets old. A crop reaching for the sun a little more every day is one of the best parts of farming, and it matters for more than just the view. A good portion of this corn goes right back into the operation, feeding the same F1 Wagyu and Hooser Reserve cattle whose beef ends up in your freezer. Grown with care, raised with care, finished with care.

We’ll keep you posted as harvest gets closer. From the field to the freezer, every step matters.

Summer on the Ranch

Summer means keeping a close eye on the herd while the heat is up. Fresh water, shade, fly control, and pasture rotation are all on the daily checklist. We rotate the cattle through different sections so the grass has time to recover and there’s always good grazing ahead of them.

This is also when the spring calves are growing fast. We watch weight gain, make sure they’re pairing well with their mamas, and start planning ahead for fall weaning. Every animal gets eyes on it regularly so anything that needs attention is caught early.

Long days, hot afternoons, and a lot of saddle time. It’s how we make sure every steak that ends up on your plate came from a well-cared-for animal.

Fresh Beef, Always Stocked

We send roughly 20 to 30 head of cattle to the processor every month, which means the shop stays stocked with fresh cuts year-round. Every animal is dry-aged at least 21 days, hand-cut, vacuum-sealed, and flash-frozen so it’s ready for your freezer the same week it leaves the processor.

If you’re in the market for a quarter, half, or whole beef, just let us know and we’ll get you on the list. Custom cut to your preferences and packaged the way you want it. That’s a freezer full of beef raised right here on the ranch, and you choose every cut that goes into it.

Walk-ins are welcome too. The retail case stays full of steaks, ground beef, roasts, brisket, and everything in between. From the family cookout to the weeknight dinner, we have you covered. Fresh cuts, ready for everyone and anyone looking to stock the freezer.
