Flying D is the brainchild of family friends John Marvin (JM) Leonard and Alex Nelson, who decided over whiskey and cigars that they were tired of grocery store beef at outrageous prices. What started on the Leonard Ranch near San Saba, Texas has now grown to include a custom feeding and direct-to-consumer operation in
Ravenna, Texas where the Nelson Family works to bring Texas beef to your plate.
Our beef is born on Texas ground, raised without hormones or artificial processes, eats only Texas grass, and is finished by Texans with a natural custom blend designed to add the delicious fat and marbling you expect.
Raising primarily Angus and Akaushi American Wagyu, we specialize in minimally invasive ranching techniques, which are scientifically proven to improve the quality of what you eat (it's SCIENCE).
