The Bar W Ranch Way

Here at the Bar W Ranch, our family has been proudly farming and ranching in the Brazos Valley of Central Texas since 1860. Together, we specialize in All-Natural, pasture-raised Black and Red Angus cattle. We combine the most modern techniques in land stewardship and rotational grazing practices to ensure nothing short of premium beef and high-quality program cattle raised ethically through stress-free handling and eco-friendly ranching practices. 

Founded by Reuben Anderson, the ranch has been passed down in the Anderson family for over 6 generations where together, we look at long standing cow-calf ranching traditions through a regenerative and sustainable lens. We rotate on chemical free pastures as needed for each cow, calf, and bull to obtain optimal nutrients for natural and healthy growth. Our cattle are 100% natural, never given growth hormones or antibiotics, source and age verified, and carry reputable program tags.

The Truth About Grass-Raised & Finished Beef ⬇

Pure and Natural: Our cattle, lovingly born and raised on the ranch, graze on lush, natural forage and are never given hormones, antibiotics, or GMO feed. This all-natural approach ensures you’re getting beef that’s as pure and wholesome as it gets.

Nutrient-Rich Flavor: Thanks to their grass-fed diet, our beef is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants, giving you leaner, more flavorful meat that’s free from fillers.


Sustainable and Caring: By raising our cattle ourselves and finishing them on grass, we are able to maintain sustainable farming practices and uphold high animal welfare standards.

Meet The Ranchers

In 2012, the Manterola’s took over the family operation with the intention of both continuing the multi-generational legacy as well as adapting modern practices in land management and low-intervention animal husbandry. Now, Alberto and his wife Jane are reshaping the ranching traditions with their three children Catherine, Tito, and Sallie Jane along with Jane’s brother Will Anderson.
