When planning to purchase beef in bulk, freezer space is a key consideration. Here’s a quick guide to help you determine how much room you’ll need:

A helpful rule of thumb is to plan for 1 cubic foot per 25 pounds of beef. For reference, a standard milk crate is roughly 1 cubic foot.

• Whole Beef: Requires approximately 14-17 cubic feet of freezer space.
• Half Beef: Will take up about 7-10 cubic feet of freezer space.
• Quarter Beef: Needs approximately 3.5-5 cubic feet of freezer space.

• Decide between a ½ and whole Beef.
• Customizable cut sheet through the processor. They will take your order before processing to determine your selected cuts and package size (roasts, steaks, bone-in, tenderized, stew meat, etc.)
• Packaging –  you will choose double wrapped and quick frozen (poly & white paper) at $.70 per pound or Vacuum packaged and quick frozen at $.80 per pound.
• Additional minimal costs for tenderizing, hamburger patties, specialized trimming, boxes, added dry aging.
• Take Home is Approximately 67% of your hanging weight.
• All Beef comes frozen, Vacuum-Sealed or double wrapped, and Boxed
• All Cattle are traditionally raised on grass pastures and custom feed. No feedlots, additives, food coloring, antibiotics, or added hormones.

· Whole Beef: Approximately 390-490 lbs. (60% of HW)

· Half Beef: Approximately 195-245 lbs. (60% of HW)

Please note that these are estimates, and the final weights will vary depending on the animal and your cut selections. We will provide you with the most accurate estimate possible once the butcher has processed your order.

On average, your cost per pound of take-home beef will range from $5.50 to $8, depending on the volume you purchase, finishing, and the cuts selected. This includes everything from ground beef to premium steaks. Compare this to average retail prices for grass-fed beef, which typically range from $10 to $15 per pound.
