Beef Products
All beef - retail cuts, sides, hindquarters, and forequarters - is from grain-fed cattle. Most of the carcasses would grade U.S. Select or U.S. Choice. Our beef is Extra Trim (less than 1/4 inch), and approximately 95% of the cuts are boneless, giving our customers a high percentage of edible portion and low "plate waste." Carcasses are naturally dry-aged to increase tenderness and to give the beef a rich and "beefy" flavor.
Lamb Products
Lambs processed at the RMSTC are from young animals, usually less than one year of age. These lambs produce carcasses that are almost always equivalent to U.S. Choice or U.S. Prime. The lamb cuts are closely trimmed and contain a high proportion of lean.
Pork Products
Our pork is from market hogs that produce carcasses that yield lean and high quality cuts. These fresh pork cuts are closely trimmed, juicy, and flavorful.
Cured and Smoked Products
The RMSTC is famous for its cured and smoked products. The cured and smoked hams, bacon, and pork chops are tasty and have a fabulous hickory-smoked flavor. The Aggie Ham is a whole, bone-in ham that has been cured, dry-aged, and smoked. This is a ham with that "Old-Fashioned" taste, and it is a great entree for holiday cooking. The Hickory Smoked Bacon is lean, tasty, and thick sliced, providing superb flavor to breakfast or sandwiches. The Hickory Smoked Pork Chops are one-inch thick and are cut from cured and smoked center-cut loins. These chops have distinctive smoky taste that comes from extra-heavy smoking.
Beef Jerky is a flavorful, long-lasting snack. We process beef jerky from sliced top rounds. The slices are cured, peppered, smoked, and dried. Our Texas Aggie Brand Beef Jerky is a great snack for watch Aggie Football games and outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and camping, plus it taste great with your favorite beverage!
