Our Story: From Childhood Dreams to Premium Beef

Four decades of cattle expertise meets genuine family values

The story of Gordey's Best Beef begins with a young boy watching a 1966 movie called "The Rare Breed," starring Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Hara. That film, about bringing premium Hereford cattle to Texas, planted a dream in JimBo Gordey's heart that would take decades to fully bloom.

Growing up on a small farm in Louisiana, JimBo learned cattle ranching from his father and uncle, who ran a successful cow-calf operation with Black Angus and Polled Hereford cattle. But life had other plans first – a 38-year career in the insurance industry that brought him to West Texas, where he built a successful agency while the dream of full-time ranching remained tucked away.

A Dream Realized

After retiring from insurance and marrying his wife Cindy, that childhood dream finally resurfaced. They met a local couple raising Red Angus cattle, and JimBo knew it was time. Together, they founded G&L Cattle Company – the "G" honoring JimBo's father, Gordey, and the "L" honoring Cindy's father, Lawson.

Why We Sell Direct

Everything seems to be going according to plan except turning a decent profit," JimBo reflects on their early years. That's when they discovered direct-to-consumer sales – a way to share their premium beef directly with families while building sustainable relationships based on transparency and trust.
