Our Story
The Alford family has called Burleson County home since 1832. Nearly two centuries of working the land, raising cattle, and passing down the values that define this operation.
1832
The Alford family settles in Burleson County, Texas. A small homestead on open range — the start of nearly two centuries of ranching.
1800s
Across the second half of the century, the Alford operation grows from subsistence farming into a cattle operation. Each generation adds to the land and the herd.
1900s
Through droughts, market crashes, and world wars, the Alford family holds onto the land and the cattle. The operation evolves with the times but never loses its roots.
Modern Era
The current generation expands into a multi-breed operation: Registered Brangus, Registered Brahman, F1 Brangus, F1 Braford, Angus-Wagyu crosses, and full Wagyu. Genetics that perform in the Texas heat.
~2020
Six years ago, the family launches a direct-to-consumer beef business — AlfordCattleCoBeef.com — bringing premium Angus and Wagyu beef straight from the ranch to families across Texas.
2026
AlfordCattleCo.com goes live, giving ranchers and breeders direct access to the Alford breeding program — live cattle sales, genetics, and a 7th-generation legacy.
What We Stand For
Nearly 200 years on the same land. We don't just raise cattle — we carry forward a legacy that stretches back to the founding of Texas.
Every breeding decision is intentional. We select for performance, conformation, and temperament — traits that matter in the pasture, not just on paper.
When you buy from Alford, you know exactly what you're getting. We stand behind every animal we sell, and our reputation is built on honest dealing.
