Have you ever tried longhorn meat? When I first heard of eating longhorn meat I was a bit surprised….but then I read up on it. Did you know that it is leaner than other breeds? It is also lower in saturated fat and has less cholesterol and fewer calories than chicken.*
Our family has tried Longhorn ground beef in various dishes…hamburgers, spaghetti, and more. It’s good and we feel better knowing it’s better FOR us! Captain Fussybuckets is a bit of a meat snob and even he eats it!
So, do you want to try some Longhorn meat? If you live in the DFW, TX area, I have the perfect suggestion for you! Oliver Longhorns is a family run business that raises pasture fed longhorns without growth hormones, steroids, or implants. All of the meat is packaged at a USDA facility. You can purchase ground beef per pound or you can purchase a 1/4, 1/2, or whole cow!
Oliver Longhorns is located in Waxahachie, Texas, which is located right off of I-35E, just south of DFW! If you have further questions,send them an email at leanbeef@oliverlonghorns.com or call 972-268-0031! Also, visit their website: oliverlonghorns.com!

Never knew that, but I have been down to Waxahachie for the renn fest so I know right where that is. Thanks for sharing, see you in the BYB forums!

Interesting! In my neck of the woods in PA or in CT with MIL, Scottish Highland beef predominates.
