We do our best to get this to the requested customers. Many of the cuts will have the bones in them.

It depends on your beef consumption. We like to do the math. For example: If you are a couple that eats beef 2x per week and each have a have serving size of 8oz. Math comes out to be .5lb serving x 2people x 2meals/week x 52week/year = 104lbs/year. 1/4 cow would be perfect for you then!

No worries, we are here to help with the process. If you want the convenience of having it already cut to our most popular cuts, buy our already cut meats in the store. Depending on the time of year, we will have 1/4 or 1/8 of beef and 1/2 or 1/4 pork all ready cut and ready for pickup. Check it out here.
