At Pati Jacobs' ranch in Bastrop, Texas, the focus is on simplicity and ethical practices in cattle farming. Taking over the family ranch in 2003, Pati implemented a vision rooted in her childhood experiences, where she witnessed the joys and stresses of ranching.

By prioritizing their welfare, Pati believes that ranchers can foster a healthier environment for livestock while also promoting sustainable agricultural practices that don’t harm the earth.
Highlights
Pati's approach goes beyond traditional farming methods. She emphasizes the importance of limiting the use of fertilizers and pesticides, which can damage soil health and contribute to environmental degradation. By avoiding grain or corn in cattle feed, she aligns her ranching practice with her ethical beliefs. Her model not only benefits the cattle but also supports biodiversity in the local ecosystem. The financial viability of Pati’s ranch is further enhanced by processing beef locally and building a direct connection with customers. This ensures fresher products while supporting the local economy. The end result is high-quality beef that is not only healthier for you but also produced in a manner that respects the environment and animal welfare.
