Where Heritage Meets Flavor

The Sussex Ranch Story

Rooted in tradition, driven by passion. Sussex Ranch was founded on the belief that the best beef starts with the best care. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country, our ranch is more than just a place to raise cattle — it's a way of life.

By crossing our legacy Red Angus cattle with the renowned Japanese Akaushi breed, we created something special — beef that is hearty, flavorful, and naturally superior in tenderness and marbling.

With open pastures, fresh water from Cypress Creek, and a dedication to regenerative ranching, Sussex Ranch is built on quality, sustainability and respect for the land.

Our Cattle: raised with care, naturally nurtured

Akaushi is a Wagyu breed known as "Japanese Red." Crossed 50/50 with our Red Angus herd, it brings rich marbling and a buttery texture while the Angus side keeps the bold, beefy flavor Texans expect.

  • Grass-fed, grain-finished, rotated frequently onto fresh pasture
  • Never given hormones, antibiotics or growth stimulants
  • Known for rich marbling, tenderness and full beef flavor

Trust & FAQ

Questions customers ask most

What makes Sussex Ranch beef different?+

Sussex Ranch is a small Texas Hill Country producer of Akaushi–Red Angus beef, pasture raised on rotated pastures and raised without hormones, antibiotics or growth stimulants. The Akaushi influence brings rich marbling and a buttery texture; the Red Angus side brings bold, beefy flavor.

Where is Sussex Ranch located?+

Our cattle are raised on our ranch in Comfort, Texas, in the Texas Hill Country. Ranch address: 201 Gaddis Blf, Comfort, TX 78013, USA.

What breed of cattle does Sussex Ranch raise?+

Akaushi–Red Angus cattle — a 50/50 cross of the Japanese Akaushi breed with our legacy Red Angus herd. Akaushi is a Wagyu breed known as “Japanese Red,” so Akaushi beef is technically Wagyu, though not all Wagyu is Akaushi.

How are the cattle raised?+

Grass-fed and grain-finished, grazing freely on rotated pastures with fresh water, and never given hormones or antibiotics. We use organic fertilizers and never use pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.

Does Sussex Ranch ship beef?+

Yes. Orders being shipped must reach a 10 pound minimum, because frozen beef holds its temperature better in a fuller box. If your order is under 10 pounds you can add more beef — ground beef is an easy way to top off an order — or choose pickup at Sussex Ranch — Comfort. Pickup orders have no weight minimum. Shipped orders also need a merchandise total of at least $100; orders under $100 are pickup only. For orders over $575, please contact Ken to arrange shipping.
