Locally grown = Better for the Environment
It's better, whenever possible, to raise and purchase food close to its source. Feedlot operations require huge amounts of power and resource consumption. They produce enormous quantities of waste in concentrated areas which must be disposed of. Water quality is always an issue. All the food is harvested by tractors and processed by machines. In contrast, our cattle have plenty of room to roam, and natural recycling benefits, instead of harms, the environment. Our cows harvest most of their own grass. Sabine Creek Ranch is located on several hundred acres of beautiful pasture land naturally protected by a flood plain and just 30 minutes east of downtown Dallas. We only sell our beef locally, so it's not necessary to ship long distances. Your purchase of locally grown products supports a sustainable, positive model of agriculture.
