In this episode of the Hill Country Hustlers Podcast, host Zach Green interviews Wayne Mikeska of Hometown Meat Market and 2 Bar C Ranch in Luling, Texas, about local beef and pork, highlighting a state-inspected, “state-of-the-art” kill plant and end-to-end processing from slaughter through packaging, custom cuts, and statewide pickup/delivery for any herd size, including single-head orders.
Mikeska describes 2 Bar C Ranch as a registered Angus operation recently recognized by the Angus Association as Angus Breeder of the Year (international, national, and state), attributing results to genetics, changing nutrition plans, docile cattle handling, and no antibiotics, injections, or hormones. He explains how low-stress handling and packaging affect tenderness and freezer shelf life, and discusses the benefits of artificial insemination for consistent calf crops and improved weights. The episode promotes tours and a December 4–5 female and bull sale with meals, plus semen and embryos available.
