2026 - 1/4 Beef Share Deposit

What a Quarter Beef Looks Like in Your Freezer

A quarter beef typically yields around 100-120 pounds of packaged beef (this can vary depending on the final hanging weight and how your beef is cut).

A typical whole beef might include approximately:

Ground Beef
• 50-60 pounds

Steaks **varies per beef and depends on thickness selected**
• 6-8 ribeye steaks
• 8-10 New York strip steaks
• 4-6 sirloin steaks
• 2-3 filet mignon steaks
• flank & skirt steaks (approximately 1 each)

Roasts **varies based on size and types selected**
• 6-8 roasts (chuck, rump, tip, and arm roasts)

Other Cuts **can be customized**
• brisket
• short ribs
• stew meat
• cubed steak
• osso bucco
• soup & broth bones

You can also request suet for tallow making and organ meats like liver, heart, tongue and oxtail. *Some items, like oxtail only have 1 per beef so it may not be available on a 1/4 beef. 

All beef is professionally processed, vacuum sealed, and labeled, making it easy to organize in your freezer.

When purchasing a beef share, you’ll have the opportunity to fill out a cut sheet, with my guidance if needed. Click here to preview your cut sheet

This allows you to customize things like:

• steak thickness
• number of steaks per package
• roast sizes

If you’re unsure what may be best for your family, I'm happy to schedule a time to talk through it!

Many first-time customers choose our standard cut sheet, which provides a balanced mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef. It's a perfect place to start if you've never ordered a beef share before! 

Freezer Space Needed

Plan for approximately 7 cubic feet of freezer space for a 1/4 beef.
