- A whole cow split across households, each with its own order, cut sheet, and packing choices. No single sale exceeds half a carcass, which is how the retail exemption works.
Buy beef by the share
A share is beef priced by the pound of take-home weight, cut exactly how you like it. It is the cheapest way to fill a freezer.

How the whole-cow drop works
A whole cow is too much for one household and too big for one sale: federal retail rules cap a single sale at half a carcass. So the whole-cow tier is a coordinated drop. Four households each take a quarter, each with their own order, their own cut sheet, and their own packing choices.
- Reserve your quarter with the deposit.
- We match you with three neighbors on the same drop date.
- You each get your own cut sheet to fill out.
- The cow is processed at the USDA plant and delivered together.
