Doing What Nature Does

Situated in the fertile Post Oak Savannah of North Central Texas, not far from the famed Chisholm Trail, Aquilla Hill Angus Farm is mixing old world virtues of hard work, good stewardship, and family values with forward thinking approaches to production and marketing in today’s chaotic world. By using nature as a guide, we have adopted philosophies and strategies that work to enhance our local ecosystem.

We believe that modern agriculture can and should work to improve the environment instead of stripping it of its fragile resources. Ways that we incorporate these ideas include our natural grass finished beeves that eat a 100% grass diet of clovers, annual Ryegrass, Coastal Bermuda, Alfalfa, Fescue, and native grasses.

In raising our cattle we often ask, what would nature do to solve a particular problem? Never once has the answer come back, “Spray some herbicide on those weeds” or “implant a growth-hormone under the skin of that steer’s ear”. We haven’t gotten the call to drench our pastures with harmful pesticides or cover our fields with unnatural amounts of commercial fertilizer. With this in mind customers can find comfort in the fact that our beef was born and raised the way nature would do it! Please look around our site for information on how we operate the farm, the benefits of grass finished beef, product details, tips for the chef and ordering procedures.

Summer has really set in at the farm. We have a bunch of new calves on the ground as the life cycle continues. If you are in the area feel free to call and stop by to pick up some beef for the family. We do still deliver whole and half beef orders however as this is our primary sales method.
