What You Get: Your 1/2 Cow Share Breakdown

Buying a beef share means receiving a portion of the animal's Hanging Weight, which is the weight of the carcass after initial butchering (head, hide, non-edible organs removed).

  • Live Weight (Estimated): Our Angus heifers are typically around 1,300 lbs live weight but can range up to 1500 lbs.

  • Average Hanging Weight (1/2 Share): This share is based on a whole hanging weight of 780 lbs, meaning your 1/2 share hanging weight is approximately 390lbs.

  • Average Packaged Weight: for 1/2 share, the average packaged weight is between 234-254lbs for our 1300-1500 lbs heifers. The difference lies in the bones, cartilage, fluids, etc that are discarded in the butchering process.

  • What's Included: Your 1/2 share provides an extensive variety of cuts, typically including:

    • Premium Steaks: Larger quantities of Ribeyes, New York Strips, Filet Mignon, Sirloins, Flank, Skirt, Denver, Flat Iron.

    • Roasts: Chuck Roasts, Rump Roasts, Tri-Tip, Pikes Peak, Brisket.

    • Ground Beef: Significant quantities, usually in 1lb or 2lb packages.

    • Other Cuts: Short Ribs, Stew Meat, Soup Bones, Marrow Bones, Organs (upon request).

    • (Note: Specific cut ratios may vary slightly based on the animal and butcher's cuts. Customization options may be available for half and whole shares – indicate if you offer this.)

What Size Freezer Do I Need?

A good rule of thumb is 1 cubic foot of freezer space per 35-40 lbs of packaged meat.

  • For a 1/2 Cow you will need roughly 8 to 9 cubic feet of dedicated freezer space. This typically requires a medium-sized chest freezer or a significant portion of a large upright freezer.
