Description

A half beef from Kruse Farms offers strong value and variety while requiring less freezer space than a full animal. It is ideal for families who want premium local beef without committing to a whole beef purchase.

Why Buy a Half Beef?

Half beef orders provide a dependable mix of steaks, roasts, brisket, ribs, and ground beef. Buying in bulk helps stabilize your grocery budget while ensuring consistent quality across every cut.

Buying directly from Kruse Farms means:

• Transparent sourcing
• Cattle finished to consistent weight 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.
