ABOUT US

La Fortaleza De Zavala Ranch is family-owned and located in South Texas. Our team takes a detailed approach in compassionately raising cattle from start to finish.

OUR MISSION

With a mission to provide the world the best tasting and nutritional Texas beef through ingenuity, premium genetics, and compassion, our Akaushi cattle are compassionately raised on Fortaleza de Zavala Ranch in La Pryor, Texas. Grass-fed and raised naturally without the use of growth-promoting drugs or hormones. La Fortaleza Beef steers are finished in a feeding program in Hondo, Texas, that utilizes Texas grain to optimize marbling potential. As a result, La Fortaleza Beef has a rich buttery flavor that is guaranteed to stand out against all other beef.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Our cattle accumulate tissue with higher ratios of monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Various studies have shown that consumption of higher levels of monounsaturated fats, can aid in decreased risk of coronary heart disease, lower cholesterol, and weight loss. Akaushi beef is also a significant source of oleic acid, which, according to the USDA, is “good for the heart.”
