2026 - Whole Beef Share Deposit

What a Whole Beef Looks Like in Your Freezer

A whole beef typically yields around 400 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
• 120–160 pounds

Steaks **varies per beef and depends on thickness selected**
• 20-26 ribeye steaks
• 24-28 New York strip steaks
• 16-20 sirloin steaks
• 8-10 filet mignon steaks
• flank & skirt steaks (approximately 2 each)

Roasts **varies based on size and types selected**
• 24-30 roasts (chuck, arm, rump, tip, and pot 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.

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

Customizing Your Beef

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 the 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 20 cubic feet of freezer space for a whole beef.
