Company Profile

Chuck and Nancy Sullivan carved out Shinamore Farms from a dense huisache thicket just a few miles north of Chappell Hill, Texas. This land dates itself back to the original Impressario Grants provided to Stephen F. Austin by the government of Mexico. We now look out on several green rolling pastures and a magnificent new fruit orchard. The beautiful setting of the Texas Bluebonnet Country is the backdrop for the farm. Today, we

hand raise specially selected cattle for the finest tasting beef you can find.

Our animals go straight from pasture to freezer and never get near a feed lot. Animals that go through feed yards are overfed on high fat feed in the last few weeks or months of their lives in an attempt to rapidly increase their scale weight and to disguise lower quality meat with a layer of fat. This does nothing to improve the quality or taste of the meat. All it does is increase the weight for sale. Shinamore Farms will never send our cattle out to a feed yard. We care about the quality of our beef.

A very common question we are asked is, "Are your products Organic?" The very short answer is NO. The main reason is that the government got involved. In order for a farm to claim they sell "Organic" food products you have go through a very lengthy, time consuming and expensive process that includes records dating back as long as 5 years. The small farmers and ranchers cannot afford to go through the process. The very people that can gain the most by growing and selling organic food products will never be able to actually claim that they are Organic. Ultimately, only the "Factory farms" will be able to wear the moniker.

Shinamore Farms never uses unnecessary antibiotics. We will not use hormone supplements. All of our cattle are provided with the best veterinary care but are not subjected to unnecessary vitamin supplements, to any steroids or hormones to artificially stimulate growth or any feedlot practices of overfeeding.

Are we "Organic"? Nope. We can't afford to jump through the State's arbitrary hoops but we will promise to provide you with the best tasting naturally fed and raised beef you can get.

Key Benefits

Don't be fooled by well conceived marketing gimmicks, either. Would you be surprised to learn that Certified Angus Beef means that the steer must be more than 51% Black in color? It doesn't even have to be Angus. Wouldn't you rather get your meat from someone who cares about how it tastes?

We sell our pasture raised beef directly to consumers in quarters freshly dressed and cut. Instead of fighting over who gets what cuts we have the butcher cut the meat so that it can be easily divided into equal weights and value. Prices are seasonal and are based upon the weight of the animal at time of slaughter. We only sell 10 - 15 beef quarters per year and many of those are already spoken for. Hurry today to reserve yours. Contact us to find out what today's prices are.
