Hamilton Cattle Co.

We have had three new babies since July first. It’s been a busy summer. If you’ve been following along that momma pictured with her baby was the first calf born on the property during the snow-vid freeze. There are more to come. Stay tuned for not baby pics.

We have one more Whole beef up for grabs. It can be split into halves or quarters. Set to pick up this Saturday.

Dropped of 4 steers at Meatheads in Gonzales on Sunday, and found this little one. He walked right up to me and I scratched his little jaw.

Happy new year!! We are bringing in the new year with two new calves. Must be a cold front coming or something. Two heifers. These will not be joining the. Class of 2024.
Let’s have a naming contest. Put your names in the comments and our kiddos will select their favorites. Red calf is calf #1 black calf is calf #2. The winning name selections will receive 5 lbs of ground and a sirloin steak.
We will announce winners on January 4th.

We still have 1 quarter available for the beef lover in your life if you are looking for a last minute Christmas 🎅 gift. This quarter beef is priced at $1011.00. The cuts and weights are listed in the second photo. Local grass fed beef. Pickup in New Braunfels.

Pics from the move this past weekend. Doing a little line grazing away from the water across a 20 acre field. Keeping bellies full and the herd moving.

Grazing the hay and working pens worked out pretty well last week. Shouldn’t have any snakes sneak up on us for a while.
Also one of our Devon heifers is looking ready for freezer camp. Should be perfect for November processing.
The smaller and younger Red Angus heifer is walking through their new paddock.
“Woody” our first born heifer on the place was following me around while I was checking everyone out.

If you drive by don’t make fun of my crooked fence. It is purpose built and is only temporary. Didn’t take any pics of it.

This week we are grazing the hay and working pens. Lawn maintenance while making beef.

Treat your Labor Day BBQ guests with some ground Grass Fed Beef. Packed in 1lb packages vacume sealed. Chock full of Omega 3s and great taste. $7.50/lb. You won’t get it that cheap at HEB.

Hamilton Cattle Co. The Hamilton Cattle Co. is family owned and operated and dedicated to bringing you locally raised grass fed cattle.

Took a chance and did Gonzales Co. and TXDOT a favor. This morning we grazed the side of the road near our back gate. Electricic fencing is awesome. You can graze anywhere. 40 head for an hour. They did a good job. Mowing green space and making beef.

Couple of pictures after the move this weekend. Remember our cows are Vegan so you don’t have to be.
Moving them onto fresh grass and out of spoiled areas keeps the bellies full and allows the land to heal. Invigorating the pasture and exciting the flora in the soil. Sequestering carbon and increasing water infiltration. Go Cows 🐮!!!!

When you weigh 200 pounds and need to move a 350+ pound mineral tub to the other side of the farm. Tractor trailer tire I found on the side of the road. 00 gauge ring bolt 2, 1 inch washer and a nut to secure the bolt to the tire. Hook on a chain and your mobile.

Not just cows thriving here at Hamilton Cattle Co. The frogs are not for sale though. A thriving ecosystem is what we strive for.

Gathering up for another move. We were able to get some great trample effect in the last paddock. Building soil while growing tasty beef and moving happy cows. This is the first move for the new little ones. They didn’t quite get what was going on. A simple walk behind them and through the gate they went. Couple more moves and they will be pros

Getting ID ear tags in the new babies this afternoon. We use ear tags to help us count and record growth of the individual calves. Time to introduce them to the rest of the herd. It’s not always petting cows and moving fence here at Hamilton Cattle Company.

Thanks Kenny Magenny at Cross Sabors Ranch in Harwood TX for the newest members of Hamilton Cattle Company. Now for some electric fence training. Im sure they will catch on quickly. These Red Angus are super docile and easy to work. Keeps the stress low for the rancher and the cattle.

It was a little wet today. I poured 2.5 inches out of the rain gauge when we left to pick up the calves. Then I poured out another inch when we left for the evening.

Pre and post graze from this past week. Take half and leave half, either standing or trampled on the ground. That’s how beef is made.

We have a processing date this week on June 9th. There are still spots available if you are looking for 1/4, 1/2, or whole beef. Expected pickup day will be June 26th.
Let us know your order, and we can put you on the list.

Sorry for all the rain. I’m guessing God got all my DMs from last year and decided to answer them all in the last 30 days.

If you’re planning on cooking burgers this weekend. Let us know. We have 1lb packages of grass fed ground beef $7.50 per pound.
Grab a pound for the family or 10 or more to feed your friends some nutritious beef.

Shoot us a message. We can schedule pickup in New Braunfels, Gonzalas or anywhere in between.
