We’re Cody and Erika Archie, first-generation ranchers in the heart of Central Texas. We have three kids, Kylee, Clancy, and Ginger, and Bar 7 Ranch has become a big part of our family’s story.

A big part of what we do today is Bar 7 Beef. We purchase quality cattle and finish them right here on our ranch on a custom grain ration before selling the beef directly to consumers. Our customers get to know where their beef comes from, who is caring for the cattle, and how they’re being finished. We share that process openly, from the cattle coming onto the ranch all the way through the finishing process.

What started as a way to share our daily life has grown into a community of over 3 million people who follow along for the grit, laughter, faith, and chaos that come with life around here. Whether we’re working cattle, building fence, feeding steers, working in the shop, or just sharing everyday life, we love giving people an inside look at real ranching and agriculture.

Outside of ranching, we also own and operate Valet Cleaners & Laundry, build a few spec homes each year, and manage rental properties, so there’s rarely a dull moment.

Bar 7 Ranch is more than just a place. It’s our livelihood, our way of life, and our opportunity to connect people with agriculture, whether that’s through the beef we put on their tables or the stories we share every day.
