Fast forward about 130 years to the 1980s when I began to raise Wye-bred cattle at our ranch in Stonewall. Since then, we have gone to great lengths to produce angus beef that is not only well-marbled, but also very tender. This combination provides the best-tasting beef possible. This is only part of the story to read the full story click below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1619739912744-U7U39TN5IR73IACGTCG7/123243342_1702463013254579_7562641781923702902_n.jpeg Home - Windy Bar Ranch Meat 100% Locally Raised and Fed in the Texas Hill Country 100% Black Angus 100% Locally Processed NO antibiotics and NO added hormones https://www.windybarbeef.com/our-story daily 0.75 2021-12-14 https://www.windybarbeef.com/about-the-beef daily 0.75 2023-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1621360312797-DPV4CYBK04CUE3H9L12P/123243342_1702463013254579_7562641781923702902_n.jpg About the Beef - The Product Our beef provides the ultimate beef eating experience. This is because our beef is raised in accordance with our stringent, USDA-approved protocols. These protocols bring together all the pieces of the puzzle to create the best beef possible. Our beef meets the following USDA-approved requirements: Each animal is 100% black Angus and 100% source verified. No antibiotics are fed or administered to any animal at any time. No hormones, steroids, or other artificial growth promotants are given or administered to any animal at any time. No animal by-products are fed to any animal. We only feed vegetable-based ingredients, such as, for example, silage, cottonseed pellets, corn, corn gluten pellets, legume hay and grass hay. All the animals are born, raised and processed locally (within about 100 miles) to the Austin/San Antonio area, primarily in Gillespie County. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1621360004275-LECXZZOCG233LW98X2Z1/IMG_7653.JPG About the Beef - 100% Black Angus The foundation of our product starts with 100% black Angus beef. Black Angus is the “gold standard” in the beef eating experience. Further, all these Angus are locally bred and born—no imports from other states, countries, regions or other cattle producers. So we start with that wholesome beginning, and then go through the additional steps in our process to make sure our beef reaches its full potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1621360328797-G5DWWNUIBTFK3Z2RYX60/unsplash-image-_y4LGVTeBwQ.jpg About the Beef - Genetic Tenderness Profiles To help ensure tenderness of our beef, we use DNA genetic profiles to select our herd sires and replacement females. We do this to determine whether the herd sire or replacement female has the right genes to produce animals with the genetic ability to be tender and juicy. We use these genetic profiles and our special finishing program to help insure our beef will be as tender and tasty as possible. We also use ultrasound measurements of marbling to ensure that our beef is well-marbled. If an animal does not meet our strict marbling requirements, that animal if put into ground beef. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1587072150959-OIS41LGYW52QI94SMQUU/IMG_5579.jpg About the Beef - Special Finishing Program In our finishing program, our animals are finished right here in Stonewall. None of our animals are sent to a dry lot, commercial feedlot. They are finished on grass pastures in our rotational grazing system, where they have free-choice access to our special feed. Our rotational grazing system allows the manure from our animals to fall on our pastures and be recycled right here on our ranch. In our system, the manure replaces commercial fertilizers, which is better for the environment. This helps make our operation as sustainable as possible. We don’t “push” our cattle for rapid gains like dry lot, commercial feedlots do. That can be harmful to the animal. Instead, we allow each animal to develop at its own pace. With our program, it takes a little longer to finish an animal, but it is a whole lot better for the environment and the health of the animal—not to mention the taste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1591549333215-7JC1DZ57PWUG6SXFQ6HZ/IMG_1148.JPG About the Beef - Dry Aging The final step in our process is dry aging. Without dry aging, beef cannot achieve its ultimate tenderness and flavor, no matter what the genetics, and no matter what an animal eats. During dry aging, moisture evaporates from the muscle tissue, causing a greater concentration of flavor and taste. Second, natural enzymes in the beef break down the fibrous, connective tissue in the muscle, increasing tenderness. This process is a very important to producing tender, flavorful beef. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1621360346492-RGZ2LL3KXXSOFKU77V5B/ED1D8E0F-1369-4CDA-9161-AA3C778F0BAE About the Beef - USDA-Approved Each animal is 100% black Angus and 100% source verified. No antibiotics are fed or administered to any animal at any time. No hormones, steroids, or other artificial growth promotants are given or administered to any animal at any time. If a sick animal requires treatment with antibiotics, it is removed from our program. No mRNA vaccines are administered to any animal. No animal by-products are fed to any animal. We only feed vegetable-based ingredients, such as, for example, cottonseed products, corn, corn gluten pellets, legume hay and grass hay. All the animals are born, raised and processed locally (within 100 miles) to the Austin/San Antonio area, primarily in Gillespie County. No animal is ever shipped to a commercial dry-lot feed lot operation; all animals are fed at the ranch in Stonewall. https://www.windybarbeef.com/meet-our-rancher daily 0.75 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/fcd5dad5-204d-469b-ab42-a282698f8784/Soil+Sisters+w+Michael+Klein_Windy+Bar+Ranch.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/a98fa26e-eafb-4e77-9cb8-2772d5ee3eb9/SOILSISTERS+pod+art_web.png https://www.windybarbeef.com/featured-media daily 0.75 2025-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/efb885b2-f43e-45aa-af66-e6d448e2e17e/WBR_TX+Soil+Sisters+Event.webp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/112de5de-32f2-4462-8729-5e745e274a95/WBR+Entrance.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/733accc4-a332-46e7-ba61-8252c828f7c7/SOILSISTERS+pod+art_web.png https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop daily 0.75 2024-06-25 https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/whole monthly 0.5 2020-11-01 https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/fsagfa4xtp4oydgk3std2ed6ek9x2f monthly 0.5 2021-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1626468236295-KH4OAUJ8UGHXQUKS9K0T/WINDY+BAR+RANCH+LOGO.jpg Shop - GIFTCARDS https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/beni-shoga-k9gjg monthly 0.5 2025-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1603115383031-3D9AV659WTGJMMWYTYTL/5F5A5E0F-0EF7-4604-BE45-18CB4C7163E4 Shop - Ribeye Griller 13lbs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1587072524265-86F04KQ9TDX83RJ5YVV7/IMG_1150.JPG Shop - Ribeye Griller 13lbs https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/beef-and-chicken monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1603115270261-7156P7HDC4E7FXT4WXO0/5D0AC784-440E-46D9-B6BF-8AFF7F807B4F Shop - Tenderloin Griller 10 lbs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1591549333215-7JC1DZ57PWUG6SXFQ6HZ/IMG_1148.JPG Shop - Tenderloin Griller 10 lbs. https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/do-chua-rymct monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1603115338601-JDZ8WK9BE3GR5RWTGRDT/ED1D8E0F-1369-4CDA-9161-AA3C778F0BAE Shop - NY Strip Griller 10lbs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1587072737387-YT9B6NHW1ZJEK2B3IBO7/IMG_1151.JPG Shop - NY Strip Griller 10lbs https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/adntegcj8fw75de8stqa0mofy7hns9 monthly 0.5 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1601038360010-7N0D7K7RC9BXGHNK55IT/E51FCDBF-D347-4B89-8C67-583F93F97EC6 Shop - Rib Box 15 lbs. https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/5qqpvfvjs797sp1blz9tzzr6wy1m47 monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1601038060030-I1ZLM73SPIS9L7XWABBV/5516694C-31D0-4351-89F6-DB04CA15CF1B Shop - Roaster Box 15 lbs. https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/rancher-special-15lbs monthly 0.5 2025-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1600176675442-93N0N7MB8OSKXEI8WOKP/2A6F2DD4-8678-4136-BB47-029A36D30378.jpeg Shop - Ranch Hand Griller 15 lbs. https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/pasture-raised-chicken monthly 0.5 2022-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1588682586163-WVVKH3P19SRG7TF0I0Q0/pastured_chicken_whole_large_600.jpg Shop - Pasture-Raised Chicken https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/14-beef-deposit monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1590334109649-D9CK283WX3YU1B6ZJM3M/fourth2.png Shop - 1/4 Beef Non-refundable Deposit-21-day Dry Aged https://www.windybarbeef.com/shop/p/12-beef-deposit monthly 0.5 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98c3d57164d93bfd17483f/1590335284171-X1EEVA5DU4AMZ0AJ8Z2B/half.png Shop - 1/2 Beef Non-refundable Deposit--21-day Dry Aged
