Split Quarter Beef Deposit

FAQs

How does a Split Quarter Beef order work?

A $200 deposit reserves your Split Quarter Beef for processing. We’ll pick up your meat from the processor and contact you to schedule the fulfillment of your order. As we are reserving a quarter steer for you, deposits are non-refundable. Your meat will come dry aged, vacuum sealed and frozen from our processor.

What kinds of cuts are included?

A Split Quarter means you get 1/2 of the front quarter and 1/2 of the hind quarter – so you receive a selection of all of the cuts! A Split Quarter can include all of your favorites: a variety of steaks, roasts, stew meat, ground beef, patties, ribs and nose-to-tail cuts like soup bones, marrow bones and organs.  Check out our Beef Cut Sheet for a more detailed look at the cuts available for your customized culinary experience. We are happy to help you through the selection process and make recommendations.   

How much will a Split Quarter Beef cost? 

The cost of the Split Quarter Beef is determined by the hanging weight of the animal at $5.50/lb, which includes processing costs. The estimated final cost of a Split Quarter Beef ranges from $680-$1,030, depending on the size of the animal and your custom cuts. Your $200 deposit will be applied to the total cost. 

How much meat will I receive?

The weight of each steer can vary widely, so we provide an estimated range of 70 - 125 lbs of cut and wrapped meat after trimming and processing. We highly recommend taking home the nutritious beef bones and organs offered to you to get the most value from your quarter animal purchase. 

For how long will a Split Quarter Beef feed my family?

A Split Quarter Beef is a great option for a smaller family.  With a Split Quarter Beef purchase, a family of 2 can enjoy a meal with beef 3 times per week for a year. That’s 285 to 425 individual 4 oz servings!

Can I customize my order?

Yes! With a Split Quarter Beef, you have the opportunity to customize, such as steak thickness and servings per package. With a Split Quarter, slight adjustments to your requests may be necessary to equitably split the half. We recommend making the most of your order by including nutritious bones and organs.
