Description

A quarter beef from Tilson Family Farms is a great entry point into bulk beef purchasing while keeping storage requirements manageable.

Why Buy a Quarter Beef?

Quarter beef orders provide a balanced selection of premium steaks, roasts, and ground beef including:

• Ribeye portions
• T-Bone portions
• Sirloin
• Chuck roasts
• Brisket portion
• Short ribs
• Stew meat
• Ground beef

This option is ideal for smaller households or first-time bulk buyers who want the benefits of farm-direct beef without committing to a larger order.

What to Expect

Quarter 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 105 and 120 lbs of professionally packaged beef depending on cutting preferences.

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

Freezer Space Needed

A quarter beef typically requires 4 to 5 cubic feet of freezer space, similar to a small chest freezer.

Processing Timeline

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

Quarter beef offers an accessible way to stock your freezer with high-quality Michigan beef while supporting local farms.
