A Better Way to Buy Beef

At A Better Way Beef Austin, we believe better food starts with better farming.

Our mission is simple: provide families and individuals in Austin with premium grass-fed beef and pasture-raised eggs sourced from animals raised with care, integrity, and respect for nature.

Meet Mike

Mike was raised on a farm in Iowa surrounded by pigs, chickens, and dairy cows. From an early age, he developed a deep appreciation for animals, farming, and the outdoors.

His passion for raising animals the right way eventually led him to grass-fed beef production in 1993.

In 1994, Mike moved to Washington County near Brenham, Texas, where he continued building A Better Way Beef. Centrally located between Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, the ranch is ideally positioned to serve customers across Texas.

For over 30 years, Mike has remained committed to raising cattle naturally and responsibly—producing nutrient-dense beef with exceptional flavor and quality.

Austin Operations

To better serve the Austin community, David Roanhorse—a longtime customer turned partner—manages the online storefront and customer ordering experience for A Better Way Beef Austin.

After experiencing the quality of Mike’s products firsthand, David saw an opportunity to help bring premium ranch products directly to Austin customers through a streamlined online ordering experience focused on convenience, quality, and trust.

From product selection to order coordination and customer support, David helps make buying premium local beef easier than ever.
