About Us

Founded by Clint Phelan, Blue’s carries forward a proud family tradition of honest, Texas-grown wagyu beef. We’re more than a butcher shop - we’re stewards of land, cattle, and community, committed to delivering cuts you can trust and be proud to share.

Our story begins with dad, at Phelan Farms. If you’ve ever met Doug Phelan, you know he claims the best sermon happens under the open sky of our Lockhart ranch. What began in 1973 as a modest cattle operation in Austin, then moved to Lockhart, grew into a way of life. Doug’s reverence for the land and its creatures is the bedrock of our family’s work, and it’s the same spirit that drives everything at Blue’s today.

At Blue’s, we don’t just raise cattle - we nurture ecosystems. Partnering with local Hill Country ranches who share our vision, we practice regenerative farming that keeps soil fertile, water clean, and pastures vibrant. Our herd lives hormone-free and antibiotic-free, grazing on fresh grass until they’re ready for the finish—no shortcuts, no compromises.

We believe everyone deserves beef they can count on. That’s why all our cattle are born, raised, and finished right here in Central Texas. From pasture to plate, we oversee every step to ensure each cut carries our promise of care, quality, and tradition. When you choose Blue’s, you’re serving more than dinner—you’re sharing a piece of our heritage.

"Our mission is simple: offer cuts that make you proud to feed your family and guests. Whether it’s our prized Wagyu ribeye or classic chuck roast, every steak, roast, and burger patty reflects generations of dedication. Taste the difference respect makes—and enjoy beef raised the Texas way."
