Altho Sayre's Farmers Market is small and it was a slow day, Sandy still had sucess selling Heart Healthy Lean Longhorn Beef Product that was grown by Running Arrow Farm, LLC and packaged with a USDA Approved Label on her first saturday there. 

 

Sayre is excited to have an opportunity to have access to purchase Home Grown Grass-Fed Lean Longhorn Beef. 

 A small cooler with frozen ice packs was used at the table while a 5 cubic foot freezer hooked to a portable generator safely stores the frozen packaged meat during transport inside the camper shell of her pickup truck.   Oklahoma requires a licence to be able to sell, as well as joining the Sayre Farmers Market.

 

Running Arrow Farm, LLC sells only USDA Labeled Naturally Lean Grass-Fed Longhorn Beef and opportunities like this can be had for your own Longhorn herd.  This gives your Longhorns a job and value and helps bring in an income to put hay on the table for the rest of your herd.

Longhorn Breeders already know about the "low fat and low cholesterol" benefits of Texas Longhorn Beef. One of the goals is to advertise and market Longhorn Beef to people who are seeking a health-conscious, lean diet. Along with the usual cuts of beef, this beef can be supplied in sausages, hamburger, chili meat, and other forms to round out the consumer’s selection. 

What Are The USDA, FSIS Requirements for "Natural Grass Fed Beef"?

• 100% Grass Fed from birth until processing. No Grain, Grain By-Products, Urea or Animal By-Products.*

• Cattle raised totally as free roaming on pastures their entire life.*

• Cattle have not been fed or injected with any hormones or steroids.

• Cattle have never been confined to a feed lot.

• Cattle have not been fed or injected with any antibiotics within 6 months prior to processing.

 

Cooking Longhorn Beef

Since Longhorn Beef is naturally lean it should be cooked slowly!  There is less excess fat to insulate the meat from the grill or oven heat.  And, do not overcook lean meat!  It needs to show some slight pinkness to it or it will be tough to chew; however GROUND BEEF should ALWAYS be cooked well-done!.

Most of the cooking sources I have reviewed suggest that you briefly sear Longhorn beef about 60 seconds on each side with hot coals or skillet to keep the juices in.  Then, depending on your preference for doneness, finish cooking the meat on each side.  With thicker cuts, a meat thermometer is recommended.  

With the Longhorn beef, it is also recommended to season and/or marinate the meat about 30 minutes prior to cooking to enhance its flavor.  When oven cooking roasts, ribs, steaks, use lower temperatures of about 275 to 325 deg. F., and cook in a covered oven safe container.  They also do well in a slow-cooker, cooked for 4-8 hours, depending on weight of meat and cooker temperature setting.

When grilling burgers, steaks, or ribs on your outdoor grill, you may also wish to add some damp wood chips such as mesquite, hickory, or cherry to the coals to add additional flavor to your meat.

As with any meat...always use safe handling techniques with raw meat!

Longhorn Beef:  Low Fat & Cholesterol

Texas Longhorn Cattle beef is naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol; and it also has fewer calories per 3.5 oz. serving than most other meats!  [According to USDA and other sources].  It is lower in fat and cholesterol than white meat chicken or turkey.

In comparison, beef from "commercial" or "continental" cattle breeds (most often found in your supermarket for a 3.5 oz. serving) lean ground has 272 calories, 20.7 grams of fat, and 87.7 mgs of cholesterol.  Longhorn Ground Beef has 160 calories, 3.7 grams of fat, and 61.5 mgs of cholesterol!  Light meat chicken was reported to have 173 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, and 85.7 mgs of cholestrol for the 3.5 oz. serving.

For the health conscious consumer, those who have been advised by their Doctor to pursue a low fat, low cholesterol meat diet...well...there's no better choice than to ask for "Texas Longhorn Beef"!

High in taste.  Low in calories, fat, and cholesterol.

Body Condition Score (BCS)

You've probably all heard aboaut the "BCS" Score which is frequently applied to commercial breeds.  This scoring system is a 9-point scale which is used to evaluate body condition and carcass potential at slaughter.  Longhorn cattle score a little lower on the average than "slaughter beef" cattle due to their genetics and structure.  However, this does not make them less of a bovine.  The Longhorn has a unique positive trait called "Hooks and Pins" which are protrusions of bone on their hindquarters, regardless of their BCS.  The more "traditional" and original lineage the Texas Longhorn is...the more obvious are their "Hooks and Pins", with probably a BCS of 4 to 5; the more "beefier" the conformation and lineage is (as in the cow's photo on the left) the BCS is probably between a 5 and 6.
