Save about $500 on a half beef

Same grass-fed beef, two ways to buy it. Cut by cut, every steak is priced like a steak. In a share, every cut costs the same, so the ribeyes cost what the hamburger does.

Cut prices and the $5.75/lb share price are averages from the USDA National Grass Fed Beef Report, Jul to Sep 2025 (grass-fed beef sold straight from the farm). The share adds the 5% service fee and a typical butcher bill. Each farm sets its own price, and the cut mix depends on your cut sheet.

First time buying a share?

How much freezer space do I need?
About 1 cubic foot for every 35 to 40 lb of meat. A quarter beef fits in a small 5 cu ft chest freezer; a half needs about 6 to 8 cu ft. Try the sizes above to see yours.
What is hanging weight?
What the animal weighs at the butcher after the head, hide and insides are removed. Most farms price by it. You take home about 60% of it as packaged beef.
When do I pay, and who do I pay?
Three times: a deposit when you claim, the farm’s bill after butcher day (by hanging weight), and the butcher when you pick up. Every listing shows each part, with the butcher as a range.
Can I split a share with a friend?
Yes. Claim it under one name and split the boxes at pickup. Two families often share a half.
I don’t know what to put on a cut sheet.
That’s normal. Each farm has a standard cut sheet that works for most families, and you can change just the parts you care about. Find your size suggests one for you.
How long does frozen beef keep?
Steaks and roasts taste best within about a year, and vacuum-sealed packages often hold up longer. Meat kept frozen at 0°F stays safe to eat.
