1/2 Grass-Finished Beef Share (Fall Delivery) - Save Over $450! (220+ lbs)

Our 1/2 Grass-Finished Cow Share is a seasonal offering for families seeking the purest expression of honest, ranch-raised Oklahoma beef. Finished entirely on lush native pastures during the peak fall harvest, this half share delivers lean, nutrient-dense beef with deep, complex flavor and remarkable tenderness. By reserving a half share, you stock your home with every cut the animal offers—from Ribeyes and Filets to Briskets, Roasts, and ground beef —all at substantial bulk savings.

Best For: Families wanting clean, seasonal protein, ultimate food security, and a complete custom butcher shop selection in their home freezer.

Flavor Profile: Clean, robust, and distinctly earthy with a delicate fat trim, raised on our Northwest Oklahoma pastures.

Availability: Seasonal Fall Harvest only (limited availability per run).

Size: Approx. 200–230 lbs of finished, vacuum-sealed meat (Requires a dedicated 7–9 cubic foot chest freezer).

💰 What to Expect

We charge $6.30 per pound hanging weight for our grass-finished beef, with custom processing added to your single final invoice once the animal is weighed.

• Estimated Total Investment: Expect your total cost (beef + processing) to run between $2,990 and $3,250, depending on the certified hanging weight (typically 350–380 lbs).

• Effective Take-Home Price: Averages out to roughly $13.50 to $14.50 per pound across the entire share. Meaning premium grass-finished Filets, Ribeyes, and Brisket share the exact same low average cost as ground beef.

• Bulk Savings: Reserving a half share locks in whole-carcass savings of $450 to $650+ compared to purchasing these specialty cuts individually at retail.

🔪 Custom Cut to Your Household's Needs

When you order a half share, you dictate the butcher order to fit your kitchen:

• Steak Thickness: Choose your custom cut (from standard 1" to thick-cut 2" Ribeyes, Strips, and Filets).

• Roasts & Slow Cookers: Size your roasts for family gatherings or convert them into extra ground beef and stew meat.

• Ground Beef Packs: Select convenient 1 lb or 2 lb vacuum-sealed packs.

• Bones & Extras: Keep nutrient-dense soup bones, marrow bones, and organ meats if desired.
