FROM OUR RANCH TO YOUR TABLE
Who We Are:
Bib Stroboe grew up in rural Texas working on ranches, dairies, involved in FFA, animal husbandry and in rodeo as a rough stock competitor. He feels blessed to have a wife Mimi, children and grand children to be involved in beef cattle production continuing the tradition of our family. We are certified in Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) and Masters of Beef Advocacy (MBA) programs. Bob has been using “low stress” cattle handling techniques and minimal use of electric cattle prods for decades via utilization of natural instincts of cattle movement for safety and meat quality. Bob is a trained Artificial Insemination Technician who understands bovine anatomy, nutrition and health. We use herd health, nutrients and natural immunity rather than antibiotics. We have our written Whole Herd Health Plan available for your review.
We joined forces with long time friend, neighbor and 2nd generation rancher/producer Gary Glass of Glass Ranch to bring you the finest natural grass finished beef.
Flying U Quality Cattle Company Brangus Beef - Strobowe Ranch Gillette Wyoming
Born and Grazed in the USA!
Our cattle are beyond organic - they are 100% natural. We offer straight purebred Brangus steers and heifers as well as "Angus Plus" animals (limited availability)-purebred Brangus Cows sired by registered Angus bull genetics, the genetic enhancement of additional Angus influence for increased meat texture, marbling and taste. We also can supplement grass and hay finishing with "natural grain beef grower finishing rations" if the customer wishes. Some opt for this option who desire higher intramuscular fat percentage. This option is available for those who purchase a younger calf and additional feed and handle costs apply based on your specifications. Cattle can only "marble" to their genetic potential, but the density of marble can be increased by introduction of high energy/carbohydrate diet.
From Pasture to Plate - 100% pure natural Beef from Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) and Masters of Beef Advocacy (MBA) Certified Producers. Healthly raised in a natural, humane, and environmentally sustainable manner in compliance with guidelines set forth in National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), Cattlemen's Beef Board National Beef Checkoff Program and the Texas State Beef Checkoff Program.
Like the Blue Bell Ice Cream motto. “We eat what we can and we sell the rest!”
From the same stock and standards we raise to feed our families.
We consider our beef to be beyond organic, as our cattle are antibiotic free. We would never dream of feeding them animal by-products; they are raised on mother’s milk and grasses alone. Our Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) are sold direct to individuals

$300 will hold your selection.
PROCESSING
We'll deliver your beef on the hoof to our local custom processor in Devine, Texas. Once at the processor, since pricing is based on weight, the hang carcass weight will be determined.
(Carcass Weight - The weight of an animal after slaughter and removal of most internal organs, head, and hide. On average, for feedlot steers and heifers, a beef carcass is about 63% of the weight of the live animal.)
At that point, you will pay the Estroboe Ranch $4.75 per lb of carcass weight as determined by the processor's scale minus your deposit.
Now that the processor has the beef, you work with them to determine the custom process options and pay for custom processing of your choice.
DELIVERY
The processor will work with you on timeframes, pick up and delivery options.
FAQs
Q - What does Angus PLUS or Ultrablack mean?
A - Brangus Breed is an established hybrid beef cattle known for outstanding taste and quality. Genetic makeup is 5/8 Angus and 3/8 Brahman cattle. Ultrablack or Angus PLUS cattle are 13/16 Angus and 3/16 Brahman.
Angus PLUS simply means that our cattle have additional genetic influence of Registered Angus Sire for the renowned texture, marbling and flavor of the Angus Breed. Cattle can only marble to their genetic potential.
Q - Whar does "Non-Hormone Treated Cattle" (NHTC) beef mean?
A - All living things have hormones. So to claim "hormone free" would not be accurate. Some producers implant growth promoting hormones in their cattle for sale as natural. We do not implant calves being sold to individuals. You can rest assured when you purchase a steer or heifer from us, that we have not added any hormones.
