Not a bad investment, but you are going to need to have plenty of freezer space on hand to accommodate this quantity of beef.Ī 16 cubic foot freezer is the absolute minimum size you should shoot for if you are going to be buying whole cows. We are talking two sides of beef, tipping the scales somewhere north of 300 pounds! Let’s say, though, that you are going “whole hog” with buying beef in bulk and are going to get your hands on an entire cow. It’s not a bad idea to bump that up a little more (9 to 12 cubic feet give you a little bit of extra breathing room) if you’ve got the budget. Speaking of freezer, you’ll want to have at least eight cubic feet of space you can dedicate to your side of beef when you purchase a half. This kind of beef in bulk is recommended for larger families or for folks that want to have enough beef for the entire year squirreled away in the freezer. Total weight for a side of beef can come in at anywhere north of 175 pounds or so – sometimes a decent amount more than that, even. This gives you an opportunity to really break down how you want the meat you are purchasing processed, offering a level of control in what you receive that you’re just not going to get anywhere else. One of the coolest things about ordering a side of beef is that you can run through a cut sheet with most custom processors. On average for a ¼ the cost is about $700, for ½ about $1400 for whole beast about $2800.Not only are you going to get a ton of ground beef (about 25 percent of your total purchase) but you’re also going to get a lot of roasts, a lot of steaks, a lot of stew meat, and so much more! The price varies as it is based on the weight of the animal at time of processing. If you wish to obtain a price please "contact us". If you have any special requirements or request please contact us. This is the weight of the animal prior to butchering, with bones still in place. Bones are good for soup, making stock or feeding to the dogs. Note specific quantity will depend on size of animal.īones can be included for those who want them.
