6D Natural Meats

Ranch to Plate

The 6D difference is simple: Ranch to Plate. Every cut of beef we offer comes from cattle 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, and we raise our cattle 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, grown on fertile, green pastures — the way nature intended. From our ranch to your table, you can trust that every bite is wholesome, flavorful, and raised with care.

OUR RANCH

Located in scenic Montague County, about an hour northwest of Fort Worth, 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 and soil health. 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 calf in our “Ranch to Plate” program is born, raised, and finished — in a setting that’s as natural and healthy as the beef we produce.

GENETICS

Great beef starts with great genetics. Our cow herd comes from many generations of registered Angus cattle, born and raised right here on the Duke Ranch. Every calf in our “Ranch to Plate” program is bred, born, and raised on our pastures — we never bring in outside cattle.

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

The result? Beef 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.

100% Grass from Start to Finish

At 6D, our cattle graze on open pastures for their entire lives — from weaning to harvest. That means no grain, no feedlots, and no shortcuts — just pure Texas pasture and plenty of room to roam.

Our finishing process is simple: we let nature do the work. The steers graze year-round, and we finish them in late spring, when the grass is lush, green, and full of nutrients. This natural cycle produces beef that is:

Clean and Wholesome – No added hormones or antibiotics, ever.
Naturally Flavorful – Rich, clean beef flavor with the unique character of our North Texas pastures.
Healthier by Nature – Higher in omega-3s, CLA, and vitamin E compared to grain-finished beef.

This approach takes more time — our cattle grow at a natural pace — but we believe the results are worth it. You’ll taste the difference in every cut, from our premium steaks to our signature ground beef.

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 – When one of our Angus steers is fully finished on grass, 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 - 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). We accept PayPal, Venmo, and other major payment options. This is the required minimum for your order.
Reserve Other Cuts – When you purchase your starter pack you can reserve other cuts. We will do our best to reserve these for you so they are available when you pickup.
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.
Select Additional Cuts – At your pickup appointment, you can purchase additional ground beef or available specialty cuts (see list below) when available. We may also have our pastured pork available.

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 was 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.
Fresh From the Processor – Because we process animals in small batches, we can match your order to our next pickup weekend — ensuring you get beef that’s freshly processed and frozen at peak quality.
Flexibility for You – The Starter Pack gets you in the door, and you can add additional cuts or products at pickup — without committing to a large bulk order upfront. You can also reserve additional cuts.
Supports Small-Batch Ranching – 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 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.

Our ranch can only produce 75–100 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 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.

Whole & Half Beef Pricing

Buying a whole or half beef is the most economical way to enjoy our 100% grass-fed, pasture-finished beef.

Pricing: $5.95/lb hanging weight
- Whole beef (≈840 lb hanging) → about $4,998 ($3000 Deposit)
- Half beef (≈420 lb hanging) → about $2,499 ($1500 Deposit)
Processing: You pay the processing cost directly to the butcher (not to us). Typical cost is around $1,500 per whole (≈$750 per half).
Pickup: Once your beef is ready, you’ll pick up your packaged beef directly from the processor’s facility. This gives you maximum flexibility on timing and makes it simple to load straight into your freezer.
Customer Savings: On average, a whole beef ends up costing about $6,500 total (beef + processing) compared to nearly $7,900 if you purchased the same cuts individually from our freezers. That’s a savings of roughly 18% — plus you get to choose your preferred cut sheet with the processor.

This option gives you the best value, the most control over how your beef is cut and packaged, and a freezer full of wholesome, ranch-raised beef.
