2027 pricing — locked. This is the price you'll pay, not an estimate. Your final invoice is your actual hanging weight × $9.25/lb, and a half will never exceed $2,850 no matter how the animal finishes.
Transparent Pricing. No Surprises.
We price by hanging weight — that's the weight of the beef after harvest, before butchering. Our rate is a flat $9.25 per lb hanging weight
(Already a "steakholder?" Your 2027 price is $8.75/lb — our thanks for buying before. We'll apply it automatically)
Here's what a half beef looks like based on our actual herd averages:

Premium Steaks for the Price of Ground Beef.
When you buy a whole or half beef, every cut — Ribeyes, Filets, New York Strips — comes in at roughly $14–15/lb in your freezer. At the grocery store, grass-fed grass-finished cuts like these run $35–$60 per pound.
Here's how: you pay $9.25/lb on the hanging weight — the carcass before the butcher gets to work. After cutting, trimming, and packaging, you take home 60–65% of that as freezer beef. The exact yield depends on your cut choices — bone-in steaks and roasts retain more, boneless and trimmed cuts lose more. Either way, it works out to roughly $14–15/lb ($9.25 ÷ 0.62–0.65 = ~$14.23–$15.42) for every cut in the box.
A half or whole beef is the most inflation-proof way to stock your freezer. Lock in today's price, eat like a king all year.
