A half beef, or “side of beef,” is an entire side of the animal (one front quarter + one hind quarter). Many find that a half cow can feed a family of four for 6–12 months, depending on how often beef is on the menu (roughly 8+ lbs of beef per week is a common usage rate).
Weight & Yield: Roughly 225 +/- lbs of packaged beef.
Cuts Included: With a half beef, you receive a full spectrum of cuts from both the front and hind sections. You can expect a generous assortment of steaks – often including ribeyes, T-bones/porterhouses, New York strips, filet mignons (tenderloin), and sirloin. There will be numerous roasts such as chuck, arm, rump, sirloin tip roast, and plenty of stew meat, perfect for slow cooking, soups, and family meals. A half share also includes BBQ cuts like brisket and short ribs. In addition, you’ll get a large amount of ground beef, for versatile and easy-to-cook meals.
Expect roughly 20–30% to be steaks, 30% roasts and slow-cooker cuts, and about 40–50% ground beef.
Packaging: All meat is professionally cut, vacuum sealed, labeled, and flash frozen for long-term freshness.
You have more cut customization with a half beef. We can walk you though a cut sheet to specify how you want your side of beef processed.
Cost: $11.25 per pound, plus tax
Processing fees are figured into the price, no hidden fees or additional cost.
