What’s Included?
Your share offers a mix of steaks, roasts, ground beef, and other cuts. The examples below are a guide, not a guaranteed cut list or package count.
-
Steaks: examples include ribeye, sirloin, and strip or tenderloin.
-
Roasts: examples include chuck, arm, and round.
-
Ground beef: choose package sizes with your butcher.
-
Other cuts: ask about brisket, short ribs, and stew meat.
-
Bones and organs: request these from your butcher; they are not automatically included.
You and the butcher complete the cut sheet together. Choose steak thickness, roast size, package size, and which cuts to keep or grind.
Some choices replace others. Exact cuts and quantities depend on the animal and the butcher’s services, so confirm your requests before cutting begins.
Freezer Space & Cost
Plan for 6–9 cubic feet of freezer space for approximately 180–220 lb of packaged beef.
EXAMPLE BEEF BILL

Processing fees are additional, paid to the butcher.
Our rounded hanging-weight range assumes a 900–1,100 lb whole animal and roughly 60–64% carcass yield. The butcher’s actual hanging weight determines your bill. Packaged yield varies with trimming, aging, and cut choices.
