What to Expect

Half beef orders typically come from cattle finished to marketplace standards of approximately 1,300 to 1,500 lbs live weight. After processing, customers generally take home between 210 and 240 lbs of professionally packaged beef depending on 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 freezer 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 Timeline

Processing typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on seasonal demand and butcher availability.

Half beef delivers a wide range of cuts while keeping freezer space and upfront commitment manageable.
