Dan Palecek's journey as a cattleman spans many decades and several state lines, from raising show steers in Idaho to building a thriving agribusiness in New Mexico, and finally settling in East Texas, where Corazon Natural Beef took root.
With nearly 50 years of hands-on cattle experience and a strong eye for marbling, tenderness, and grading quality, Dan's work is uncommon in the modern world but used to be the standard in ranching.
All of the whole cow meat sold in Lindale, TX, by Corazon Natural Beef is from cattle raised here at home, and it's always slow-aged and chemical-free.
Partners in Health
While Dan focuses on raising clean, responsibly harvested beef, his wife has spent her career serving rural communities through the National Health Service Corps and Christus Mother Frances Health Systems.
Together, they’ve become a team that serves their East Texas community in two different but deeply connected ways: one through food, the other through medicine.
Whether at the clinic or on the pasture, their work reflects a shared belief in healthy choices and care for the body.
Raising Whole Beef
That Raises Families
What started as a personal mission to feed his own family better has grown into a promise he now offers yours.
When Dan's daughters were born, he knew he wanted to be able to raise them on quality food from sources he could trust.
From home-cooked filets to everyday hamburger dinners, the company that is now Corazon Natural Beef started as dinners at the Palecek family table.
When you buy from Corazon Natural Beef, you’re not just supporting local agriculture. You’re putting food on your table that was raised with the same pride and purity Dan has served his family for years.
