Description

A half beef from Jenkins Farms offers an excellent balance of cut variety and storage efficiency. It is ideal for families who want the advantages of bulk buying while requiring less freezer space than a whole beef.

Why Buy a Half Beef?

Half beef orders provide a strong mix of premium steak cuts, slow cooking roasts, brisket, ribs, and ground beef for everyday meals. Buying in bulk helps stabilize grocery spending while delivering consistent quality across every cut.

Buying directly from Jenkins Farms means:

• Transparent sourcing
• Cattle finished to dependable marketplace standards
• Reliable yield from properly finished animals
• Support for local Michigan agriculture
• A well stocked freezer

What to Expect

Half beef orders typically result in 210 to 240 lbs of professionally packaged beef depending on final cutting preferences.

With livestock and processing combined, customers typically average around $7.25 to $7.75 per pound of finished beef.

All meat is vacuum sealed, labeled, and boxed for convenient storage.

Freezer Space Needed

A half beef typically requires 8 to 10 cubic feet of freezer space, about half of a large chest freezer.

Processing time typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks depending on seasonal demand and butcher availability.
