Box M Ranch is located in northeast Texas just outside of Boxelder, Texas. The ranch headquarters is located in Terrell, Texas.
Our passion for the ranching life began in childhood & the infatuation with the cowboy & country way of life. We grew up barefoot, playing in creeks, and riding bareback, sometimes literally with just a hay string. We started our ranch life late in life but our passion is un-wavered. We were not fortunate enough to inherit 100's of acres so our operation has been built from the ground up. We began with seven full blood Brangus heifers purchased from a friend. We were bitten by the ranching life. Our ranch is a small family run operation focusing on quality replacement heifers and raising beef humanely in a natural grass pasture year round. We are constantly learning and applying what works to our operation. We welcome family & friends to come to the ranch and experience the magic of open space.
Annually we improve pastures and processes to benefit our cows and calves. Six years ago we began rotational grazing now call sustainable farming. Our goal is to grow our cattle predominately on grass with minimal supplementing of feed or hay in the winter. Our herd is always free ranging, never contained in a feedlot. Our cows & calves are worked using stress-free techniques and we "quiet wean" our calves. We have tried every version of weaning over the years. While it may be easer to wean other ways, the most humane way, we believe, is the "quiet wean" method. It is not stressful on the cow or the calf. We are dedicated to raising healthy and delicious beef sold directly to the consumer.
We use a processing plant located in Mineola, Texas. They do a great job and are a USDA certified facility. All our beef is vacuum sealed and cut to order after 21 days of dry aging to optimize the flavor and tenderness.
