OUR ANIMALS

OUR LIVESTOCK ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF PURE PASTURES; WITHOUT THEM, NONE OF THIS WOULD WORK. BECAUSE WE RANCH REGENERATIVELY, THE BREEDS OF ANIMALS WE USE ARE VERY IMPORTANT. NOT ALL BREEDS (OR SPECIES) ARE RIGHT FOR A PASTURE BASED, INTENSIVE GRAZING SYSTEM, SO WE ONLY BREED ANIMALS THAT ARE WELL SUITED FOR OUR OPERATION.

Cattle

Our beef herd is made up primarily of Red Angus cattle. Our Red Angus herd is genetically predisposed to thrive in the harsh terrain of Texas Hill Country. They are smaller framed, more heat tolerant, and generally have a calm disposition. They are built tough, which makes them perfect for the Texas Hill Country!

Sheep

The majority of the sheep in our flock are Dorper sheep. We chose this bread because their maintenance is low, and their meat quality is high. Dorpers are “hair sheep” which means instead of wool (which needs to be sheared), they produce hair that sheds naturally. Hair sheep are better suited to hotter climates, and produce excellent, flavorful meat. Since they don’t have wool, they don’t get the strong flavor that some associate with lamb.

WE DO NOT SELL RAW MILK BUT...

We are an official Milk Agent pick up location! All milk must be pre-ordered through Milk Agent; no milk that has not been pre-paid for will be dropped off. The link below will take you to their website; all you have to do is select "Pure Pastures" from the pick up site list at checkout.

They deliver to us every other Friday, and you milk will be available for pick up during our store hours :)
