Our cow milk is 100% A2/A2, and we can't wait to tell you all about it!

First things first, you might be wondering, "What in the world is A2/A2 milk, and why should I care?" Well, grab a seat, kick off your boots, and let's dive into the wonderful world of A2/A2 cow milk.

Let's break it down in simple terms. A2/A2 refers to the type of beta-casein protein found in milk. You see, there are two main types of beta-casein proteins – A1 and A2. While most conventional cow milk contains a mix of both, our remarkable cows at CT Ranch exclusively produce A2/A2 milk.

Here's the scoop on why it matters:

  • Digestibility: Some folks find that A2/A2 milk is gentler on the stomach and may be easier to digest compared to A1-dominant milk. It's like giving your digestive system a little vacation while still enjoying the creamy goodness of milk.
  • Potential Health Benefits: While research is ongoing, some studies suggest that A2/A2 milk might be associated with fewer digestive discomforts for some individuals. Although individual responses vary, many of our customers have reported positive experiences after making the switch.
  • Close to Nature: At CT Ranch, our commitment to regenerative farming practices means our cows graze on lush, nutrient-rich pastures. By producing 100% A2/A2 milk, we aim to provide you with a product that's not only delicious but also aligns with the natural goodness that Mother Nature intended.

But enough about the science – let's talk about the taste! Our A2/A2 cow milk boasts a rich, creamy flavor that's truly a delight for the taste buds. Whether you're enjoying it in your morning coffee, pouring it over cereal, or sipping it straight from the glass, you're in for a treat.

We believe that food is a connection to the land, a reflection of our values, and a source of nourishment for both body and soul. By choosing CT Ranch's 100% A2/A2 cow milk, you're not just choosing a beverage – you're choosing a commitment to quality, sustainability, and the well-being of your community.

So, join us on this journey of embracing the goodness that comes from our pasture to your table. Here at CT Ranch, we're not just a farm; we're a family, and we can't wait to share the joy of 100% A2/A2 cow milk with you. Savor the flavor, feel the difference, and enjoy the wholesome goodness that comes from our Texas home to yours.

The Truth About Fats: Part 1

The Truth About Fats: Part 1

How Seed Oils Took Over Our Tables 🧑‍🌾 A New Series from CT RanchWelcome to the first part of our three-part series, The Truth About Fats. Over the next three months, we’ll be walking through how our food — and our health — changed when the world turned away from traditional animal fats and toward industrial seed oils. It’s a story that goes back much farther than most people realize… all the way to the 1800s. 🕯️ From Candles to the Kitchen It all started in 1837 when two enterprising men, Proctor and Gamble, began making candles out of cottonseed oil instead of animal tallow. It was a clever use of a cheap byproduct of the cotton industry, and for a while, it worked — until the lightbulb came along. When Edison’s electric company lit up homes in 1882, the need for candles plummeted. Suddenly, Proctor & Gamble had barrels of leftover cottonseed oil and no place for it to go. But instead of throwing it out, they looked for another way to sell it — and that’s where everything began to change. 🥣 The Birth of Crisco By 1903, scientists had figured out how to hydrogenate cottonseed oil — changing its color, texture, and smell to resemble animal fat. A few years later, in 1911, Proctor & Gamble launched their new product: Crisco. It was marketed as “cleaner, lighter, and modern.” Ads showed smiling homemakers and happy families gathered around golden-fried foods. It was cheaper than butter or lard, and before long, kitchens across America were filled with tins of Crisco instead of jars of rendered fat. By 1933, the company switched from cottonseed to soybean oil, an even cheaper option — and the rest is history. 🌾 A Shift Away from Tradition Over time, the oils that were once considered cheap industrial byproducts became everyday staples. And somehow, the fats that nourished generations before us — butter, tallow, lard — were labeled as “unhealthy.” But if you trace the story back, you’ll see that this wasn’t about health at all. It was about marketing, money, and convenience. The result? A nation that lost touch with the natural, stable fats that were part of God’s good design for nourishment. 🔍 Time to Look Deeper Today, the debate continues — seed oils vs. traditional animal fats. But when you start digging into the history and science, the truth speaks for itself. In the meantime, check out below of the traditional fats we offer here at CT Ranch to bring real nourishment back to your family table.

Farm Dogs: The Real Bosses of the Ranch

Farm dogs don’t clock in—but they DO have very official roles that conveniently come with zero paperwork and unlimited union breaks. While every farm runs a little differently, most hard-working ranch mutts and pedigreed pros share a familiar list of “job duties,” whether they live here at CT Ranch or somewhere across the country:

“Shots, Germs, and Terrain:” Unpopular Opinions and Controversial Topics.

Out here at CT Ranch, we keep things pretty simple. When it comes to our animals, the only shot we give our calves is for brucellosis — and that’s just once, when they’re little. Why? Because in our experience, brucellosis is a very real risk, and the vaccine does a good job of minimizing it. We haven’t yet found a better way to handle that particular threat, so we use it. Beyond that, we put our trust in strong terrain, good forage, clean water, and plenty of sunshine. That got me thinking about the bigger picture: vaccines, germs, and the theories we’ve all been taught to accept as gospel.
