Single Source Guarantee

Other beef shares are “built”, meaning different cuts from different cows (and sometimes even different farms) are packaged together to create a faux share.

Our shares are different. Each quarter share comes from a single cow. No mixing multiple animals.

About our Beef Program

Our Quarter Beef Program fills your freezer with premium, grass-fed, grass-finished beef that’s raised with care for top-notch quality. By purchasing in bulk, you’ll save money compared to buying individual cuts while enjoying the freshest, most flavorful beef possible.

Our beef comes from a Hereford/Angus cross, raised right on the beautiful Central Coast of California. These cows roam freely across 18,000 acres of open land, where they graze on lush, nutrient-rich grass and forage in a natural, stress-free environment. This ensures that our beef is not only delicious but also ethically and regeneratively raised.

After our cattle are raised on the land, they are carefully processed at Sinton and Sons Butchery in Paso Robles, CA, known for their high standards and expert craftsmanship. The beef is then aged to perfection, ensuring each cut is tender, flavorful, and ready to be enjoyed in your home.

BEEF SHARE FAQs

What is hanging weight?

Hanging weight refers to the weight of the cow after slaughter, once the hide, head, hooves, and internal organs are removed. The final weight of your beef after butchering may differ, but we base our pricing on the hanging weight for consistency.

How long does the entire process take?

The entire process from slaughter to delivery typically takes 35-40 days. We schedule slaughter dates every month, and it’s recommended by the butcher that you age your beef for 21 days to maximize flavor and tenderness, though you have the option to choose a shorter aging time if you prefer.

What cuts will I receive?

For the Quarter Cow, cuts are made according to our standard cut sheet. This typically includes steaks (ribeye, sirloin), roasts (chuck, round, brisket), and ground beef. Please see the image above for a standard cut list.

How much freezer space do I need?

Whole Cow: 12-15 cubic feet

Half Cow: 7-8 cubic feet

Quarter Cow: 4-5 cubic feet

Can I get organ meats and other cuts like bones, suet, and tongue?

Only half share and whole share orders are eligible for organ meat and bone options.

What is the final weight I'll receive?

Typically, the final weight of the beef you receive will be about 60% to 65% of the hanging weight. This accounts for the weight lost during processing, such as trimming and bones removed.
