What is whole ground beef?

Whole ground beef means every cut of beef goes into the grind — ribeye, loin, brisket, and roasts included. Wells Cattle Co. does not sell steaks or roasts separately; all of those prime cuts are ground together for the burgers.

How is Wells Cattle Co. beef raised?

Cattle live their entire lifecycle on open pasture, eat a 100% vegetarian forage diet, and never receive growth hormones or growth antibiotics.

Where is the beef processed?

Local, state-inspected Texas butchers with generations of experience. Animals are inspected on the hoof and hang, sample-tested by the state inspector, and a Wells Cattle Co. employee may accompany animals through the entire process.

Pasture-Raised Beef — The Wells Difference

Whole Beef

The secret is 100% whole ground beef including all of the premium cuts, not just trimmings and filler.

We only offer what we call “whole ground beef” — every cut of beef goes in the grind. That includes the ribeye, the loin, the brisket, the roasts… ALL IN. We don’t sell steaks, roasts or other cuts, because we grind all of it together into the best ground beef you can eat. We then dry-age it for seven days like fine steakhouses do with their premium cuts, then hand-patty the final product fresh daily. It makes the best hamburger you’ve ever tasted — because it literally contains the best of the animal.

Pasture Raised

Raised on open pasture from start to finish.

Our cattle live their entire lifecycle in an open pasture environment on a 100% vegetarian diet of pasture grasses, quality hay and legumes. None of the junk some people use to force growth or cut corners like hormones, antibiotics etc. A healthier animal yields a healthier product and higher quality for our customers. That’s our commitment to you.

Final Processing

State-inspected, locally-invested

We use local, state-inspected butchers whose experience spans generations. Every animal is inspected on the hoof and hang, and sample-tested by the state inspector. To keep our standard, a Wells Cattle Co. employee is allowed to accompany our animals through the entire process. Carcasses are labeled and processed individually — full traceability, no cross-contamination.
