How we pack and ship frozen beef
How Much Is a Half Cow in Texas?
Ours is $2,999 for 230+ lbs of finished beef, about $13 per pound, with processing and shipping included. A quarter is $1,399 for exactly 100 lbs ($13.99 per pound).
Many Texas ranches quote bulk beef by hanging weight, the carcass weight before cutting. You typically take home only 60–65% of that, and processing is often billed separately. To compare a hanging-weight quote with ours, add any processing fee and divide the total by the pounds you'll actually take home. Then factor in the deposit, the wait for a processing date, and whether delivery is included. See a worked example
Beef Shares, Sides and Freezer Beef
You'll see bulk beef sold under a few names:
- Beef share: a portion of one animal's beef, usually a quarter or a half.
- Side of beef: another name for a half cow.
- Freezer beef: any bulk order meant to stock your freezer for months.
Our quarter and half are fixed shares: set weights, set cut lists and a set price, so you know exactly what you're getting before you order. How buying a half cow works
