Cattle ranch that feeds its cows BEER: Texas farmers swear by a secret ingredient that makes beef press
- Beer is added to hay to help cows digest
- The secret ingredient gives the beef a distinctive flavor
A Texas cattle ranch has revealed the key ingredient behind its premium beef. The secret is none other than good old fashioned beer.
The Texas T Kobe farm in Wallis, Texas, adds beer to the hay the cows feed on. The ranch claims that the yeast in the double IPA helps the cow’s digestive system and improves the flavor and texture of the beef.

The beer comes from a local brewery that is itself an award-winning company, the Saint Arnold Brewing Co.
Texas T follows the tradition of Kobe style beef, a herding method developed in Japan that raises hormone-free Wagyu cattle.
It is one of the most expensive cuts of beef and is often considered a delicacy – it can cost up to $100 per pound.
Japanese farmers often massaged their cows or fed them beer to achieve the ideal taste.
Ranch owner Gene Terry says his cattle prefer beef-infused hay over regular hay.
