From Farm to Table – LITERALLY! ????? The Stock & Bond team had the privilege of touring the Meats by Linz, Inc. ranch, where we source our premium Black Angus beef steaks. This hands-on experience gave us an up-close look at the dedication, passion, and expertise behind raising these exceptional cattle. A highlight of our tour was learning more about the Linz Heritage Angus program, a unique initiative that combines top herd genetics, expert breed knowledge, and the Meats by Linz tradition of quality. The result? Steak with outstanding quality, consistency, and flavor, all carefully controlled from start to finish. Witnessing the farm’s commitment to quality has only strengthened our mission at Stock & Bond to deliver an authentic farm-to-table dining experience. When you enjoy a Black Angus steak with us, you’re savoring beef that’s raised with care and prepared with the same attention to detail. This tour has deepened our appreciation for our partnership with Meats by Linz, Inc., reaffirming why their Black Angus beef is the perfect choice for unparalleled flavor. We can't wait for you to experience the passion and quality in every bite! ???? #FarmToTable #StockAndBond #MeatsByLinz #BlackAngus #Steakhouse #OKC
