1911 Beef Co. in Justin, Texas. A Meat Market Worth the Drive

If you haven't been to 1911 Beef Co. in Justin, Texas, you need to go. This is a family-owned meat market that raises their own cattle on their ranch in Bowie, TX. No antibiotics. No growth hormones. Just grass-fed, grain-finished Texas beef raised the right way.

I stopped by their Justin location and walked out knowing I'd be back. This isn't your grocery store meat section. this is a real butcher shop with real Texas beef from a family that actually cares about what they're selling.

What They Sell

1911 Beef Co. carries Texas Angus and American Wagyu. Their cuts include:

• Ribeyes, filets, T-bones, porterhouses, and strip steaks
• Briskets and short ribs
• Chuck roast, tri-tip, and picanha
• Fajita packages
• Hamburger patties and ground beef
• Beef sausage and snack sticks
• Beef tallow

They also carry local honey, seasonal produce, and 1911 brand merchandise in the store.

Where Their Beef Comes From

This is what sets them apart. Their beef comes from two places: their own family ranch in Bowie, TX and a family friend's ranch in Abilene. Both ranches follow the same standards. no antibiotics, no growth hormones, sustainable ranching practices. Families raising beef, not factories.

Bulk Orders & Shipping

If you want to stock up, 1911 Beef Co. offers quarter cow, half cow, and whole cow bulk purchases. They also ship nationwide through their online store. orders go out in insulated, cold-packed boxes so beef arrives frozen.
