When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

Welcome to McBride Angus Farms
Life at McBride Angus Farms is pretty special, for our family and our cattle! Our focus is always on faith, family, farm, and fun. Daily, we strive to fulfill our mission statement. You are welcome to read it here.
Farming provides a rewarding lifestyle. From West Tennessee to Central Iowa, our family has farming roots that go back for generations. We’ve found farming to provide a great environment to raise children and grandchildren. But why Angus cattle?
Not only are Angus cows recognized for their tremendous mothering abilities, but their calves are also known for having the most highly-marbled, delicious meat. For over 20 years, our family has been refining our herd of quality Angus cattle by selectively breeding them for industry-leading traits. Today, our almost 200 mama cows reside on the rolling hills of northern Coffee County in Middle Tennessee where our family provides them with wholesome feed and the best possible care.
Each spring, cows and yearling bulls are offered at an on-farm production sale. In addition, other animals are marketed directly to other cattlemen through private treaty sales. Calves destined for consumption rather than breeding are grain finished for 60-90 days and then processed at McBride Meats Co. and offered for sale at the on-farm store and at the McBride Meats butcher shop in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.
