How much freezer space will you need? Each cubic foot of freezer space can hold about 35 pounds of food, so you would need at least two cubic feet for a quarter beef. We recommend a free-standing freezer rather than the one attached to your refrigerator.

Some options and advantages in ordering your own beef:
• Size of ground beef package (1/2 pound up to 3 pounds)
• Leanness of ground beef, up to 95% lean
• Thickness of steaks
• Size of roasts

Our beef is priced at "freezer weight" or what you will actually be putting into your freezer. These prices can be compared directly to what you see in your supermarket for either "Natural beef" or grass-fed (pastured) beef.

Price:

Side of beef: $6 per pound freezer weight
Quarter of beef: $6 per pound
(includes some steaks from hind quarter and roasts from front quarter)
Front Quarter: $5 per pound
Hind Quarter: $7 per pound
Ground Beef:
(85% Lean) $5 per pound
(95% Lean) $5.50 per pound
Ground Beef Patties: (85% or 95%, 1/2 pound or 1/4 pound) $6 per pound

Please note that most of the steaks come from the hind quarter while the front quarter provides the majority of roasts. When you order a "quarter" beef, we divide the portions between steaks and roasts.

Steaks:
Tenderloin $18 per pound
Ribeye $14 per pound
NY Strip-$12 per pound
T-bone- $10 per pound
