About HWD Premium Beef

Harwood has taken a different approach and has developed their own beef program named, HWD – Harwood Premium Beef, using the whole animal for zero waste.

Offering Dallas diners and visitors alike something very special, the Barbier-Mueller family and Harwood culinary team led by President of Culinary, Chef Taylor Kearney, have been working alongside a local rancher for two years to develop an ultra-high-end product of Akaushi bloodline breed of cattle.

The special line of beef is only available in the Harwood District restaurants and its recently opened Hôtel Swexan. Harwood Premium Beef is the culmination of seeing it through, from ranch to the restaurant. The cattle are gently raised in Texas and Oklahoma.

Key Facts

The Harwood beef program was inspired by Ann Barbier-Mueller, a 4th generation cattle rancher from Sunnyvale, Texas.

  • Our partner ranches consistently yield above prime-quality beef, with a BMS score averaging 10+.
  • The cattle are raised on several ranches in Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico ensuring all meat is locally grown and served.
  • The quality cuts of meat can be both dry and wet-aged.
