Whole Side of Beef
Ideal for large families, parties, or anyone who wants the ultimate variety of cuts including all steaks, roasts, ribs, ground beef, and specialty cuts. Perfect if you want a full freezer stock of premium beef. Buying a whole cow is the smartest way to get the most beef for your money. You’ll receive approximately 520–640 lbs of premium, Michigan-raised beef, including steaks, roasts, ribs, ground beef, and specialty cuts. Buying in bulk reduces the cost per pound compared to grocery store prices, while supporting local farms and sustainable practices. Ideal for large families, freezer stocking, or anyone who wants maximum value and variety.

Half Side of Beef
Great for medium-sized families or smaller freezers. A half cow provides most of the same cuts as a whole cow, with take-home weights around 260–320 lbs. Enjoy premium steaks, roasts, and ground beef without committing to a full cow. It’s perfect for families who want premium beef without committing to an entire cow, and it still offers substantial savings compared to grocery store prices.
​
Quarter Side of Beef
Perfect for smaller households or first-time buyers. You’ll receive key steaks, roasts, ground beef, and bones, around 130–160 lbs of take-home beef. Great for those who want variety but have limited freezer space.
