If you have a chest freezer, and tend to eat a lot of beef, then your most economical option is to order a side.
We’re a family of five, with three young children, and we eat a beef meal about three times a week. A side of beef lasts us around a year. On average, a side is around 340lbs of beef, and a half-side is about 170lbs, dressed weight.
Customer feedback:
“Your meat is wonderful. It is so nice to feed my boys as healthy as I possibly can.”

Your side will come in individually wrapped cuts, frozen in boxes. And if you order ahead, you can specify exactly how you want it to be cut — T–bones or striploin steaks, fast-fry cutlets or roasts.
We price our sides of beef at $4.55 per pound, dressed weight. Half-side orders are $4.65 per pound, dressed weight. That’s an amazing price for natural beef!
A note about dressed weight
Like all beef producers, we sell our beef based on dressed weight. That means the sides are weighed when they are first hung to dry-age.
Over the course of the aging process, the beef loses some of its weight through moisture loss. And then there’s some removal of bones and fat. So the overall cut weight of your beef will be around 60% to 65% of the dressed weight that you order.
That’s how the beef industry works, and the pricing is set with the expected weight reduction in mind.
Your cut beef will work out to a price of around $7.20 per pound — which is far less than you would pay for much lower quality beef in the supermarket!
