Explore a flexible selection of locally sourced beef with our Quarter Cow option. This order offers a variety of cuts, portion‑ready for your freezer or grill. Raised from reputable herds of Angus and Hereford cattle, our beef is grain‑fed and free of added hormones and steroids.
Our pricing is basd on hanging weight vs. take-home weight. A quarter beef yields approximately 200–225 lbs of hanging weight and 120-150 lbs Take-home weight, offering a balanced mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef—all professionally cut and wrapped for your convenience.
Availability and exact cuts may vary, giving you quality meat without a large commitment.
Understanding Hanging Weight vs. Take-Home Weight:
Our beef is priced based on hanging weight, which is the weight of the animal after slaughter and dressing (before it’s cut and packaged). Once the meat is trimmed, aged, and wrapped, the take-home weight is typically about 60–70% of the hanging weight. This means your final boxed beef will weigh less than the hanging weight, reflecting normal loss from bone, fat, and moisture during processing.
Why Pricing Uses Hanging Weight:
When buying beef in large quantities, pricing by hanging weight is the most consistent and transparent way to measure trimming and packaging.
Every customer’s cutting preferences (such as boneless vs. bone-in, extra lean grind, or larger roasts) affect the final boxed weight differently. Using hanging weight ensures fair, uniform pricing and allows you to customize your cuts without changing the base price. It also aligns with how our local processor measures and charges for processing, keeping everything accurate from pasture to package.
