What's in a 1/4 cow share and how much space does it take up?

• A 1/4 beef typically yields around 100-150 pounds of beef, depending on factors such as the size of the animal, the cuts chosen, and the butcher's processing methods.
• Our Quarter Cow Share takes up about 3 cubic feet of freezer space.

What's in a 1/2 cow share and how much space does it take up?

• A half beef generally yields approximately 200-300 pounds of beef. The exact weight can vary based on factors like the animal's size, selected cuts, and how the butcher processes the meat.
• Our Half Cow Share takes up about 9 cubic feet of freezer space.

What's in a whole cow share and how much space does it take up?

• A whole beef typically yields approximately 400-600 pounds of beef. This estimate can vary depending on factors such as the animal's size, chosen cuts, and the specifics of the butchering process.
• Our Whole Cow Share takes up about 16 cubic feet of freezer space.

Where are the cattle processed?

• Our beef is processed locally in Nebraska at McLean Beef. This processor is a USDA-inspected facility specializing in the safe processing and vacuum-sealed packaging of our beef. They ensure that our meat meets stringent quality and safety standards, providing peace of mind to us and our customers.

How long does frozen beef remain good?

• Our processor uses vacuum sealed packaging to remove all air before sealing, ensuring your beef stays fresh for up to 2-3 years! However, bone-in cuts are occasionally harder to seal and should be used first to maintain quality.

Is your beef Dry Aged?

• Yup! Our beef ages in a humidity-controlled environment for two to three weeks before being cut into portions. This aging process enhances the steak's flavor depth and results in a significantly more tender texture compared to fresh steaks.

How much freezer space do I need to figure out before buying?

• You can estimate needing about 1 cubic foot of freezer space for every 30 pounds of beef you plan to store. We highly recommend investing in a large chest freezer for your bulk beef order.

This is a big investment, do you have any guarantees that protect my purchase?

• Absolutely! We offer a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee on your beef. If you're not satisfied, please reach out to us and we will do everything possible to make it right.

Can I choose the cuts I want?

• If you order a Whole or Half Cow Share, you can customize your cuts to your liking! Once your deposit is paid, we'll send you a cut list and guide you through the cut sheet process. For a Quarter Cow Share, you'll receive a curated box with cuts from both the front and hindquarters.
