When it comes to raising premium American Wagyu beef, we pay attention to everything — even what comes out the back end of a cow.
That’s right. We pay attention to cow manure. And here’s why you should too.
📊 Manure = Nature’s Nutritional Report Card
On our 5th-generation ranch in Bertram, Texas, we don’t wait for problems to show up in our cattle. We study signs early — and manure is one of the first indicators of a cow’s diet, stress, and overall health.
💡 It’s called a Manure Score — and when tracked consistently, it helps us:
-
Adjust grazing plans
-
Balance forage-to-feed ratios
-
Improve digestion and gut health
-
Ensure nutrient-dense beef for our customers
🐂 Body Condition Score = Meat Quality
We also measure each cow’s Body Condition Score (BCS) — which tells us if an animal is underfed, overfed, or just right. This score affects:
-
Longevity
-
Fertility
-
Immune response
-
And yes, the marbling, texture, and taste of your beef
That’s how we protect our Grass-Fed, Non-GMO, Hormone-Free Wagyu beef from becoming anything less than exceptional.
🥩 The Result? Beef You Can Trust
Our customers (including top chefs in Austin and beyond) come to 3C Joppa for one reason: we raise beef with integrity.
We watch what goes in and out of our cattle because:
-
You deserve nutrient-dense, clean, regenerative protein
-
Ethical meat starts with how animals are treated, fed, and observed
-
Healthy cows = happy cows = better beef
