A 5.70-pound brisket from Beaty Farms, offering enough family-raised Brangus beef for a gathering, several meals, or a smoker that deserves something substantial to do this weekend. Sourcing & practices The Beaty family has raised cattle in Aubrey since the 1800s, and the farm remains a four-generation family operation. Their cattle are Brangus—⅝ Angus and ⅜ Brahman—selected to combine desirable marbling and tenderness with the strength and hardiness needed for ranch life in Texas. Every animal is born and raised on the farm and spends the majority of its life grazing wide-open pasture. The family rotationally manages those pastures to prevent overgrazing, promote healthy forage, and preserve the land for future generations. The cattle are grain-finished using a custom mixture developed with animal nutrition experts, with each ingredient selected for balanced nutrition and finished beef quality. Beaty Farms is certified under the Texas Beef Quality Product Program, and its beef is USDA inspected. What to expect One brisket weighing exactly 5.70 pounds. The larger size is well suited to smoking or slow braising and provides enough meat for a crowd or multiple meals. Long cooking allows its connective tissue and fat to soften, creating tender slices with concentrated beef flavor. How to enjoy it Season with a simple salt-and-pepper rub and smoke until tender, or braise slowly with onions, broth, tomatoes, or barbecue sauce. Let the brisket rest well before slicing against the grain. Save the leftovers for sandwiches, tacos, chili, loaded potatoes, or the next morning’s eggs.
