What Is a Half Cow?
A half cow — also called a 1/2 beef share — is half of a whole grass-fed beef, cut, vacuum-sealed and frozen for your freezer. You get the same range of cuts as a whole beef, in half the quantity, at a much lower price per pound than buying steaks and roasts one at a time.
It is our most popular share: big enough to keep a family in beef for months, without needing a huge freezer.
How Much Beef Do You Get?
A 1/2 beef gives you about 200 lbs of packaged beef. Your share includes a full mix of cuts:
- Steaks: Ribeye, New York Strip, Sirloin, Filet Mignon, T-Bone, Porterhouse, Skirt, Flank, Chuck Eye, Hanger and Flat Iron
- Ground beef for burgers, tacos, meatballs and weeknight meals
- Slow-cooking cuts: Chuck Roast, Short Ribs, Brisket, Stew Meat and Oxtail
- Bones and broth: Soup Bones and Marrow Bones
- Organ meats: Liver, Heart and Kidney
Every cut is vacuum-sealed for freshness and labeled, so you always know what is in your freezer. See the full cut list on our Bulk Beef Shares page.
How Much Does a Half Cow Cost?
