WHOLE, HALF & QUARTER COWS
Please note, we currently do not ship Whole, Half, and Quarter Cow Shares.
#1 Reserve Your Beef
Pay in full right here on our site — our prices cover everything from processing, dry-aging, packaging, AND delivery (if within our boundaries). Have questions before committing? Our family is happy to answer every one until you're confident!
#2 Finalize Your Cut Sheet
We’ll walk you through our standard cut sheet (seen on product page), then chat about any adjustments to better fit your family’s needs—within the limits of your share size (e.g., a quarter share can’t include a whole brisket or dozens of ribeyes). Whole and half shares are fully customizable upon request.
#3 Harvest & Dry-Age
We’ll get your harvest date on the books - soonest available or a date that works with your desired timing. From your harvest date, expect anywhere from 3-4 weeks until delivery due to butchering, dry-aging, freezing, and packaging.
#4 Delivery or Pick Up
We've got family in the Dallas, South Austin, and Lampasas areas. Contact us, and we'll see if we can make delivery work where you are - or we can meet halfway. Pickups are always available to all Texans willing to make the drive!
#5 Enjoy a Freezer Full of Beef
From one single animal — 100% traceable back to our ranch — you’ll have clean, confidence-worthy beef in your freezer. It’s the best bang for your buck and ensures you have high-quality beef ready for every meal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the Standard Cut Sheets?
We’ve pre-crafted cut sheets based on what we like to stock in our own family freezer. You can view these on each product page for a helpful reference. Keep in mind, every animal is unique, so while our cut sheets give you a great idea of what to expect, they’re based on averages and may vary slightly.
Can I customize my cut sheet?
Yes —
Quarter Cow: Follows our standard cut sheet, but we’ll walk through it together to make sure it fits your family’s needs.
Whole/Half Cows: Fully customizable upon request.
We’ll guide you through what’s realistic based on your share size (for example, a quarter cow can’t include a whole brisket or 30 ribeyes!).
How much freezer space do I need?
A good rule of thumb is 1 cubic foot of freezer space for every 35–40 lbs of packaged beef.
Whole Cow (400-500 lbs): Requires 15-20 cu. ft. of freezer space - best for a large chest freezer
Half Cow (200-250 lbs): Requires 7-9 cu. ft. of freezer space - typically a mid-size chest or upright freezer.
Quarter Cow (100-150 lbs): Requires 3.5-4.5 cu. ft. of freezer space. A standard home freezer can fit a quarter share if it's mostly empty, but a small chest freeer is more convenient.
We use a 25 cu. ft. Frigidaire freezer - delivered by Lowe's/Home Depot - for a Whole Cow (for extra space & organization).
What's included in the price?
Your price includes everything:
✔️ USDA Prime, grass-fed & finished beef
✔️ All processing, dry-aging, & packaging fees
✔️ Local delivery (available in the South Austin, Lampasas, and Dallas areas - Contact Us!)
✔️ A personal experience with our family from start to finish
How long does it take to receive my beef?
From your harvest date, it takes 3–4 weeks to butcher, dry-age, freeze, and package your beef - allowing your plenty of time to prepare at home. We’ll stay in close contact every step of the way to schedule pickup/delivery.
Where & how can I get my beef?
We do not ship beef shares. Beef shares are stored at our ranch in Lampasas, Texas, and delivery or pickup is always coordinated directly with you.
We regularly work with customers across Lampasas, Austin, and the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and we’re happy to arrange a handoff that makes sense for both sides.
- Ranch pickup: Pick up directly from our ranch in Lampasas.
- Coordinated delivery: We can arrange delivery or meet-ups in South Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, or along major routes between those areas.
- Meet-ups: We’re also happy to meet halfway when needed—yes, even in H-E-B parking lots.
If you’re in Texas and willing to coordinate, there’s almost always a way to make it work.
📩 Outside these areas? Reach out anyway—we’ll do our best to find a solution.
How is the beef packaged?
Each cut is vacuum-sealed and labeled. It's all frozen and ready to go - straight into your freezer.
What's the benefit of buying a beef share?
✔️ The BEST bang for your buck
✔️ A freezer full of clean, traceable beef from one, single animal
✔️ Zero middlemen, just honest Texas ranchers
✔️ Peace of mind knowing exactly where your food comes from
Can I split a beef share with someone else?
Absolutely! Many families or friends go in together on a beef share.
However, we can’t split the payment on our end just yet—one person will need to purchase the share in full, and then you can work out payment between yourselves.
For a minor upcharge, we can have your beef/cut sheets split down the middle or you can handle splitting the cuts amongst yourselves once picked up/delivered.
