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 (Austin, Lampasas, TX) or pickup
✔️ 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 or delivery.

Where & how can I get my beef?

We deliver beef shares straight to your freezer if you’re in the Austin or Lampasas, TX area.

Anyone in Texas willing to make the drive can pick up from our Lampasas ranch or our home base in south Austin.

Not in those areas? Reach out anyway—we’ll see how we can work with you to get your beef! We don’t ship beef shares, but we have family all over Texas who can help; some folks even choose to pick up directly from our third-party processor.

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.

We’ll deliver your beef share to one location, and you can handle splitting the cuts however works best for your group.
