Tanning our first Hide!

This is the last sign of White Face. We called around to several taxidermists, but the cheapest was $700. So...we are attempting to do it ourselves. The last bit of meat came off well with a box knife and we salted it and are letting it dry on one of David's trailers. Here's a picture of our little helper!

Dobecka Family Farm

Six years ago, when my husbands parents retired from farming and moved to town, they gave us two cows and a young heifer. At that time, we only had ten acres to play with and these Red Women became our beloved pets. We have since grown our herd to thirteen mommas and a Big Daddy. The fifty plus acres that surrounds our home have become available for us to graze them on, as well as fifty acres that we have available in Temple with a good friend. Last year, we leased our first large property, consisting of 150 acres that is on Chaparral Road in Killeen. Our goal is to grow to at least thirty mommas and to be able to share our beef with families that are interested in natural beef.


We are striving to be a self-supporting family farm that produces quality grass-fed beef. We pride ourselves on letting you know when the calf you buy was born and to whom, as well as its history and diet information. Our cattle are never given antibiotics or hormones. They are fed quality coastal and sorghum hays, and are rotated on plantings of winter rye and natural Texas grasses. We also provide a salt lick and mineral blocks in winter for mommas with young calves to help replace nutrients that they may be loosing due to dry hay feedings. David likes to feed everyone a snack of range cubes every evening to help keep everyone tame and easy to gather together. Everyone hears Daddy’s truck and comes running!

Beef is available by the quarter for $3.00 per pound hanging weight. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us. We’d love to have you and your family out to see the herd and learn more about what we are providing.
