Frequently Asked Questions

A beef share means you're buying a portion of a whole animal directly from us, processed by our custom butcher. Instead of picking up a few pounds at a time, you get a large quantity of premium beef all at once that's vacuum-sealed, labeled, and ready for your freezer. It's how families have bought beef for generations, before grocery stores made us forget there was another way.

We offer whole, half, and quarter shares. A quarter share is a great starting point for a couple or small family. A half is the sweet spot for most households. A whole share is for large families, group buys, or anyone who wants to set their freezer for the year.

Depending on hanging weight, quarter shares start at $1,400–$1,600, halves at $2,800–$3,200, and whole shares at $5,600–$6,200. Pricing is per pound hanging weight, which means you pay for the beef before the butcher trims and packages it so your actual take-home will be slightly less. We're always happy to walk you through the math before you commit.

Our cattle are raised on open pasture their whole lives — no feedlots, no shortcuts. In the final months before processing, we finish them on grain. That's what gives our beef its rich flavor and marbling. Grass-raising builds healthy, lean animals; grain-finishing puts the flavor in.

We use a standard cut sheet that includes steaks, roasts, short ribs, brisket, and ground beef. Let us know if you have preferences.

Plan for roughly 1 cubic foot of freezer space per 35–40 lbs of beef. A quarter share typically needs about 4–5 cubic feet, a half about 8–10, and a whole around 16–20. A standard chest freezer handles a half comfortably.

Yes, we deliver locally in the Riverside and Orange County area.

Vacuum-sealed beef stays good for 12–18 months in a standard freezer with no quality loss. Most families work through a half share in 6–9 months without any issue.
