Located 60 miles from College Station in Cameron, Texas, 44 Farms is one of the largest registered Angus cattle operations in the United States developing premium Angus bulls and females for commercial cattle producers across the globe. From that core business, two branded premium Angus beef programs have been developed: (a) 44 Farms Steaks supplying fine restaurants and other foodservice operations with all-natural Angus beef that have never had hormones added or antibiotics administered; and (b) the new McClaren Farms brand which is an all-natural Angus beef program with no hormones ever added and can now been found in nearly 500 Walmart stores across five southeastern states (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi)
