The Logistics: Will it Fit?

A Whole Beef is a massive amount of food. You need a dedicated deep freeze.

You need about 20-25 cubic feet of freezer space.

Visual: This is roughly the volume of two full bathtubs. You will likely need a large 20+ cu. ft. chest freezer to hold it all comfortably.

🌲 The "Rough Lumber" Analogy

Buying a Whole Cow is like buying rough-cut lumber for a custom table.

  1. The Rough Wood (Hanging Weight): You pay for the raw boards. This includes the weight of bone and trim that will eventually be removed—all billed at $5.25 per pound.
  2. The Finished Table (Take-Home Meat): The butcher planes, trims, and sands the wood (meat) to reveal the beautiful grain. The "sawdust" (bone dust/fat) is removed.
The Result: You pay for the raw material, but you take home the finished masterpiece.

Common Questions

Absolutely! Many of our customers buy a Whole Beef and split it among 3 or 4 families to get the best bulk pricing. Just nominate one person to handle the deposit and cut sheet.

Total control. You work directly with the butcher to specify roast sizes, steak thickness, and how much fat you want in your ground beef.

Since you are buying the whole animal, you have the option to keep the liver, heart, tongue, and oxtail. Just let the butcher know on your cut sheet!

Pickup is at our farm in Robin, ID. Bring a truck or a trailer—you'll have a lot of boxes!
