We take pride in producing superior Dexter cattle beef, celebrated for its exceptional flavour, nutrient density, and clean quality. Dexter cattle’s unique characteristics contribute to a rich tasting profile and fine marbling that enhances tenderness. Our specialized finishing process incorporates high-end, custom grain mixes, and added minerals, ensuring optimal growth and flavour development, which greatly increases cost of production.

                                                      As a small operation, with a smaller cow:

Traditional commercial cows can weigh up 2500lbs and can be finished in 12 months. Our trade off is a more supple, nutrient rich, flavorful, clean meat, but at the cost of weight and time. Our average Dexter is 700-1000lbs and finishes in a minimum of 20 months without hormones or steroids. At MRanch, we only harvest a cow once it has hit its appropriate developmental milestones.  

We closely monitor each animal’s health and welfare, translating this care into a high-quality product. Our commitment to a clean, chemical-free lifestyle means that what goes on our plates goes on yours.

We also harvest our cattle on-site in a low-stress environment, significantly reducing stress hormones that can negatively affect meat quality. This calm process results in a tender final product, free from the anxiety and stress associated with transportation to auctions or abattoirs, but also increases the finished cost when the butcher comes here to harvest the meat and bring it back to the facility for aging and processing. 

By combining high-quality feed, dedicated husbandry, slower growth times, and stress-reduced harvesting, we deliver ethical and sustainable beef that exceeds expectations in taste and nutrition. Experience the distinct, mouthwatering flavour of our Dexter cattle beef, a true testament to our commitment to quality.

Dexter beef is renowned for its superior taste and rich nutrient profile, attributes that stem from the breed’s unique characteristics and the care taken during the finishing process. Dexter cattle are smaller than many commercial breeds, which allows their meat to develop a distinctive flavour profile that is both tender and richly marbled. Their compact size not only contributes to an exceptional taste but also means they require a tailored feeding approach to enhance their natural qualities.

We prioritize high-quality, custom grain blends during the finishing stage, investing extra resources into the nutrition of our cattle. This dedicated care results in beef that is not only flavourful but also nutrient-rich, with higher levels of essential vitamins and healthy fats. 

The rich flavour and nutrient density of Dexter beef result from our thoughtful husbandry and finishing practices, which take into account the breed's smaller size and the dedicated care applied throughout its growth. This meticulous approach delivers a culinary experience that is both flavorful and nourishing, positioning Dexter beef as a highly desirable option for discerning consumers.

Ultimately though taste is a personal preference, I have never met anyone who doesn't love the taste of Dexter, but that doesn't mean you will love what we do. I strongly dislike cilantro, can't stand it, but many people love it.

Some imported or "cheap" meats sell a final product that is corporation controlled. You may discover these products have rampant amounts of steroid use, antibiotics, and post-processing injection of water to create higher weights (ever seen a steak shrink to 1/4 its size?). Additionally, some cheap meats are run through the stores using old and sick cows that can be bought very cheap and ground to meet a certain price point.

It is our commitment that you will not find injured or compromised cows going into our final products.  We have learned that most people are happy to pay extra knowing their food is safe and clean. At MRranch, we are open for potential buyers to check out the health of your beef firsthand!
