From Our Farm & Ranch to Your Home
Additional information
| Half Beef | A side of beef is half of a cow after it has been dressed. The meat is broken down into larger pieces called primals, which are then further broken down into individual cuts. The specific cuts and weight of beef depend on the supplier or rancher. Halves of beef are often separated into cuts like ground beef, roasts, and steaks. |

Before It Arrives
Planning For A Whole Or Half Beef
What To Have Ready
- Freezer room. Figure about 1 cubic foot for every 35 lbs
- 16 to 20 cubic feet for a whole, roughly half that for a half
- A pickup or an SUV. It comes out to a lot of boxes
- Your questions about the cut sheet. We will walk you through it
- The deposit, which comes straight off your final balance
How It Goes
- Place the order and pay the deposit. That is what gets your animal written up on a cut sheet.
- We go through the cut sheet together. Steak thickness, roast sizes, how much goes to ground, which variety meats you want kept. This is the part most people enjoy.
- It dry ages 21 days, then it is custom cut, vacuum sealed and flash frozen.
- We collect it from the processor ourselves. You never have to make that trip.
- We call when it is ready. Pick up at the ranch store Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 3:30, after hours and weekends by appointment, or we can deliver. The balance is figured on hanging weight and is due then.
Good to know: Hanging weight is not what goes in your freezer. You take home roughly 65 to 75 percent of it, and how you fill out the cut sheet moves that number. A whole or a half is the entire animal, so the tongue, heart, cheek, oxtail, liver, kidney, soup bones, tallow to render and the navel for beef bacon are all yours if you want them. Custom cutting and the variety meats come with wholes and halves only. Wholes and halves are not eligible for Free Beef Friday.
