These weights are the finished, vacuum-sealed meat ready for your freezer (after bone, excess fat, and moisture loss).Freezer Space Needed
- Quarter: 3.5 – 5 cubic feet (fits in most upright freezers or a medium chest freezer)
- Half: 7 – 10 cubic feet
- Whole: 14 – 18 cubic feet (best in a large chest freezer or two upright freezers)
What’s Included in Each ShareEvery share is a mixed portion of the animal so you receive a balanced selection of steaks, roasts, and ground beef:
- Premium steaks (Ribeye, New York Strip, Filet Mignon, Sirloin, T-Bone/Porterhouse options)
- Roasts (Chuck, Arm, Rump, Sirloin Tip, etc.)
- Ground beef (the largest single item — usually 35–45% of the total weight)
- Specialty cuts (Short ribs, Brisket portion, Skirt/Flank steak, Stew meat, Soup bones if requested)
You fill out a cut sheet so we can customize thickness of steaks, size of roasts, lean-to-fat ratio of ground beef, and whether you want bone-in or boneless cuts.Deposit & Ordering Process
- Place a deposit to reserve your share (typically 30–50% of the estimated total).
- We will contact you when your animal is ready for processing (usually a few weeks before slaughter).
- You’ll receive a cut sheet to complete and return.
- Final payment is due when the meat is ready for pickup (based on actual hanging weight
