Paladin Farm & Cattle

Who raised your beef? Fair question.
Here's a better one: WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOUR BEEF?

Next time you pick up a steak from a grocery case or a parking-lot truck, turn it over and read the label:

🔎 "Contains up to 12% solution." Somebody added water, salt, and other ingredients. You're paying steak price for the weight.
🔎 "Mechanically tenderized." They ran it through needles or blades to make a tough cut eat soft.
🔎 "Formed." It wasn't a steak until somebody glued the pieces together.

Those words are on the label because the law requires them. What the label doesn't have to tell you: the gas that keeps it red, the ammonia-treated trim in the ground beef, and the feedlot where the animal spent its last months on hormones, steroids, and medicated feed.

Ours never has. None of it.

🐂 One animal.
🌾 One ranch.
🔪 One real Oklahoma butcher.

Bred, born, raised, and processed here. The only people between our pasture and your table are my family, our cooperative producer Oklahoma Wagyu, and Walke Meat Company. Our beef never leaves the state.

That goes for the ground beef too. Ours is ground from our own animals at Walke, not blended at a plant from trim nobody can trace.

Paladin Farm & Cattle is a veteran-owned, family-run operation raising full-blood Wagyu, F1, and F2 on Oklahoma grass, finished on a deliberate ration out to 30 months. We're not a distributor. We're not a storefront. We're the people who can tell you which animal your steak came from.

Every word above is true of every steak and roast we sell, our ground beef, our brats, our beef franks, and our beef bacon.

Happy Columbus Day!

Today we celebrate the courage, seamanship, and determination behind one of history’s most consequential voyages of exploration.

We also celebrate the classical Western inheritance: reason, civic virtue, government under law, and the pursuit of truth, beauty, and excellence. We honor its achievements in philosophy, literature, art, and architecture—and the spirit of inquiry that invites each generation to learn and create.

That inheritance calls us to build thriving communities, strengthen accountable institutions, protect freedom of thought, and create works of lasting beauty and value.

No race owns virtue, and no race inherits guilt. Judge people by their deeds and ideas by their merits. The finest achievements of a civilization can enrich people of every background.

Honor what is worthy. Build upon it. Pass it on.

I must have made someone mad. Rain every where except my pasture.

Oklahoma Wagyu and Paladin Farm & Cattle

Looking forward to crusting beautiful ribeye with a nice blue cheese.

So funny and sad to see so many AI generated ads for beef. This is a real steak in my kitchen right now.

There's no shortage of "premium Wagyu" out there. Most of it comes with a restaurant markup, a shipping label, and a story that starts somewhere in Japan. Most American Wagyu is grown in a commercial feedlot with steroids, hormones, medicated feed, and a bunch of shots and usually has a half dozen people between you and the beef.

Ours - simple: Bred, born, raised and processed in Oklahoma. The only folks involved in that production (besides my family) is our cooperative producers Oklahoma Wagyu and Walke Meat Company. That's it. no growth hormones, no steroids, no medicated feed.

Paladin Farm & Cattle is a veteran-owned, family-run operation raising full-blood Wagyu, F1, and F2 on Oklahoma grass and finished with a deliberate ration out to 30 months of age. We're not a distributor. We're not a storefront. We're the people who check on these cattle in 101° heat so you can pick up something extraordinary on a Saturday morning.

Need to hire an energetic person with a pleasant personality to help with my Farmers market booth selling our wagyu beef. Has to be reliable, and willing to do direct face to face customer interaction.

Pay is $25 / hour under Oklahoma Ag rules for contract day labor. That means no benefits and no insurance. Cash at then end of the day.

Hours are 7:15 to 1:15 on Saturday at the Lawton Farmers Market Bonus pay every 6 months or so for not missing any work.

If you want to visit about this, stop by the farmers market before 9am or after 12 - super busy 9-12 and i’ll not be able to chat. I prefer an FFA or Ag degree student but will explore other options, and availble to work 50 Saturday’s a year.

You can also message me or email me for a chat during the week.

Wagyu Beef - Worthy of a Paladin

Come hungry Saturday. We're firing up the sample griddle.

Lawton Farmers Market, 8 to 1, 4th & Gore.

Hot off the griddle Saturday morning: Wagyu ribeye, Delmonico, and picanha samples, plus hot links, hot dogs, and our bacon. Cold board with summer sausage and snack sticks. Taste before you buy, that's how we prefer to sell it.

On the table this week:
🥩 Half-pound Wagyu ribeyes and 1 lb KC strips. Only a handful of each. The ribeyes are the perfect size to try Wagyu without the commitment, and they will not make it to 1:00.
🥩 Picanha, sirloins, tri-tip, Delmonicos, skirt and flank steak. Grill weather isn't over yet.
🥓 Plenty of bacon, hot dogs, hot links, summer sausage, and snack sticks. A few brats.

Heads up: no ground beef this week. It'll be back. If ground was your plan, grab a sirloin and we'll tell you what to do with it.

American Wagyu, raised the right way, sold by the people who raised it.

📍 Lawton Farmers Market, Saturday 8am to 1pm
