Who We Are

Payne Ranch

Established in 1920, Payne Ranch is a family owned and operated ranch specializing in animal husbandry of Red and Black Angus cattle. All steer calves are grass fed and grass finished and are available for sale by private treaty.

How it works

  • We sell our meat packages by the whole or half steer. At the time of harvest, our steers are around 1200 lbs. at 32-36 months of age. A deposit will be collected at reservation with the final cost to be determined by hanging weight.

    The ultimate weight of your steer is dependent on how long they spend in the pastures. We recommend reserving one of our later dates if you wish to maximize your yield.

  • We are currently working exclusively with the Nocona Meat Company. Please note that you will be responsible for meat processing fees by the facility that must be paid before pickup.

  • A cut sheet is a form for guiding the butcher to prepare your chosen cuts. When filling out a cut sheet, it is important to consider future meals, personal preferences, freezer storage, etc. For more information or to download a cut sheet now, click here!

    For those unfamiliar with cut sheets or how to fill them out, contact us with any questions you might have

  • We will collect a deposit at reservation for the set rate according to your chosen package. Final costs will be determined by the animals hanging weight, and must be paid in full before the aging process is complete (10-14 days from drop-off).
