How to Buy Beef in Bulk

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH PACKAGE TO PICK?

A 1/4 cow is great for a small or growing family.

A 1/2 cow is the right size for a large family or a group of friends who want to try a bit of everything.

A whole cow perfect for storage and cooking over any season.

HOW MUCH STORAGE DO I NEED?

General rule of thumb is you need 4-5 cu ft. of refrigeration space per 1/4 of COW.

HOW LONG CAN BEEF BE FROZEN?

Frozen beef generally starts to lose quality after 8-15 months. However, properly stored frozen beef can last indefinitely.

HOW DOES PRICING WORK FOR A SIDE OF BEEF

You get charged per pound for a "hanging side", which is the cow that is cleaned by the butcher who removes the excess. You will also be charged a slaughter house fee (depending on cuts you choose, $100.00-$200 usually).

HOW DO I PICK WHAT CUTS OF BEEF I'D LIKE?

You will be provided with a link to Ozark Meats, our butcher provider. You will then fill out a cut sheet on their website. Here is the link https://www.ozarkmeatinc.com/.
