Howdy, world

We are Texas Methods

We make humane cattle branding

It’s revolutionary.

ANCIENT PROBLEM

Hot iron branding barbarity has been in continuous practice for 5000 years. Worldwide, 300 million cattle are born for consumption annually.

Sticky Solution

Despite alternatives, iron branding remains widely used. It is the most effective at easy identification, proof of ownership, and theft prevention — and has deep cultural pride essential to ranching, one of the world’s hardest professions.

To achieve the same effectiveness, we invented a new method rather than a new alternative. You could call it Branding 2.0. We call it BioBranding™. It is fast, safe, painless, and economical.

Step 1: Shave

Step 2: Peel and Stick

Step 3: Done!

Our first application of BioBranding is CattlePatch™. In 7 days, the patch will fall off and biodegrade. Your brand will appear shortly after, indistinguishable from the hot iron method. It’s magic.

Ranching is among the hardest professions on Earth. In a 2020 study by the CDC, farmers are the most likely to die by suicide among all professions. As of April 2023, a rate 250% higher than the national average. Financial stress is among the main drivers. Good Bull is our investor program exclusively reserved for ranchers and cattlemen.
