6D Prime Meats

Ranch to Plate

The 6D difference is simple: Ranch to Plate. Every cut of beef or pork we offer comes from animals that have been born, raised, weaned, and finished right here on our ranch — no exceptions. We know everything about each animal because we’ve cared for it from day one.

We never use hormone implants or antibiotics, and we raise our cattle and hogs using sustainable pasture management. Our pastures are diverse, with a healthy mix of native and improved grasses, no monoculture pastures. We rarely apply commercial fertilizers or herbicides, and we never use insecticides.

The result is naturally raised beef and pork, grown on fertile, green pastures — the way nature intended. From our ranch to your table, you can trust that every bite is wholesome, flavorful, healthy, and raised with care.

OUR RANCH

Located in scenic Montague County, about an hour northwest of Fort Worth, the Duke Ranch spans 650 acres of rolling pastures, ponds, and open skies. Our land is a mix of native prairie grasses and carefully improved winter and summer forages, providing year-round nutrition for our cattle.

We manage our pastures with a focus on biodiversity, soil health, and regenerative agriculture practices. By maintaining a rich mix of grasses and legumes, we create a natural, balanced diet for our herd — and a sustainable ranching system that supports both livestock and wildlife.

This is where every animal in our “Ranch to Plate” program is born, raised, and finished — in a setting that’s as natural and healthy as the meat we produce.

GENETICS

Great beef starts with great genetics. Our herd comes from many generations of registered Angus cattle and registered Idaho Pasture Pigs (IPP), born and raised right here on the Duke Ranch. Every animal in our “Ranch to Plate” program is bred, born, and raised on our pastures — we never bring in outside animals for processing.

This closed-herd approach means we know every animal’s history, health, and bloodline. Over the years, we’ve selected for animals consistently delivering outstanding marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor.

The result? Beef and pork that simply outshines anything you’ll find in a typical grocery store — the way beef was meant to taste. Once you experience it, you’ll understand why we’re so proud of what we raise.

Pasture Raised & Pasture and Grain Finished "Best of Both Worlds"

At 6D, our cattle and hogs live on open pasture their entire lives — from birth through harvest. They are never confined to feedlots and always have access to grass, clean water, and pasture to roam on.

As our calves approach finishing, we supplement their pasture diet with a carefully managed grain ration while they STILL remain on grass. This approach combines the health and welfare benefits of grass finished cattle with the improved consistency, tenderness, and flavor many families prefer.

The result is beef that is:

Humanely Raised – No confinement, no feedlots
Naturally Flavorful – Rich beef and pork flavor with consistent marbling
Responsibly Produced – No hormones or antibiotics, raised on regenerative pastures

This “best of both worlds” approach allows us to raise cattle at a natural pace while delivering beef and pork you can rely on for both quality and eating experience.

How Our Ranch-to-Plate Program Works

We keep it simple and transparent, so you know exactly where your beef comes from and how it gets to your table:

Finishing on Pasture (with Daily Grain Ration) – When one of our Angus steers or IPP hogs is fully finished, we take it to a USDA-inspected processor.
Processing – We provide the processor with our “cut sheet” — how we want the beef cut and packaged. See cut list below.
Inspection & Processing – The processor inspects and packages each cut under USDA guidelines, which allows us to legally sell individual cuts.
Back to the Ranch – Once processing is complete, we bring the packaged beef back to our freezers at the ranch and pack your order.
Scheduling - We let you know your order is ready and we schedule you for ranch pickup in Bowie, TX.
Pickup Day- When you arrive at the ranch you pickup your order and can browse other cuts of meat for purchase.

How to Reserve & Pick Up Your Beef

Purchase a Starter Pack – Reserve your beef by purchasing a Starter Pack online for $250. Each Starter Pack includes 25 lbs of premium 80/20 ground beef ($10/lb). This is the required minimum for your order. We accept PayPal, Venmo, and other major payment options. See below for the payment link.
Pickup at the Ranch – We host pickup weekends every 2–3 months and offer weekday appointments when possible. Shipping may be available so inquire if that is your preference. Our current set of steers will not be available until late spring 2026.
Select Additional Cuts – At your pickup appointment, you can purchase additional cuts based on availability. Additionally, at the time of scheduling, you can work with Kim to reserve additional cuts. We will also have our pastured pork available in limited quantities.

We’ll work with your schedule as best we can — and when you arrive, you’ll pick up directly from the ranch, where you can see exactly where your beef and pork are raised.

Why We Use Starter Packs

Our Starter Pack system makes it easy for you to reserve beef while helping us plan processing and inventory.

Guaranteed Supply – When you purchase a Starter Pack, we know to set aside 25 lbs of ground beef just for you. Ground beef makes up the foundation of your order.
Flexibility for You – The Starter Pack gets you in the door, and you can add additional cuts or products at scheduling or pickup — without committing to a large bulk order upfront.
Supports Ranching Operation– By reserving in advance, you’re helping us time processing for peak pasture condition and animal readiness, which leads to healthier better-tasting beef.

This approach keeps our beef local, personal, and always at its best — while making sure every customer gets the cuts they love most.

Long Term Relationship, Not Just a Sale

At 6D, we believe in knowing the people we raise food for — the same way you know exactly where your beef and pork comes from. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with a small group of customers who value quality, transparency, and the way we raise our cattle and hogs.

Our ranch can only produce 50 to 75 finished calves each year. That means we’ll never be a large-scale operation — and we don’t want to be. We’d rather raise fewer animals the right way and provide exceptional beef and pork to a limited number of families who trust us to fill their freezers year after year. Because of our size, long-term priority will always go to existing customers. If you’re with us now, we’ll do our best to make sure you have a place on our customer list every season.

Get in early and let us become your ranch — providing your family with premium, pasture-finished beef you can count on, year after year.
