Willow Grove Ranch is owned and
operated by Dave and Kay Shriner. We are located near Moody, Texas.
Moody is located in Central Texas, west of the Interstate 35
corridor between Austin and Waco. We are just 18 miles south
of Crawford, hometown of the President of the United States.
In addition to raising emus , we also raise Boer goats; plus the usual
assortment of chickens, turkeys, dogs, cats, and grandkids.
In 1992, we decided to get
into the emu business for several reasons. We saw the emu as
relatively easy to raise and as a totally useable animal, but most
of all, because we believe in the oil. Kay and I are both
arthritis sufferers, she with her hands and knees, myself with
arthritis in my neck. When we started
actively selling emu oil one year later, our operation was very
small, however, we have since grown to be the largest supplier of emu oil in
Central Texas and have literally out grown our "part time"
status.
We are also believers in the
extremely healthy red meat of the emu and do sell it in a
processed snack stick form. The protein content is higher than
chicken, turkey, beef, pork, buffalo, or even ostrich, while remaining lower in
fat and saturated fat than any of these. It is also the lowest in
calories and the highest in iron. We sell processed meat, or snack
sticks. Our Snak Sticks are 100% emu with a wonderful blend of
spices to enhance the natural flavor. After smoking to a medium soft
texture, they are vacuum packaged in a one-half pound package. It is
best to refrigerate packages after opening and they
may be frozen
for longer retention. We also
have fresh frozen meat available at the ranch. Call or email us for
pricing and shipping.
