Order Wholes, Sides, or Quarters

Ordering in bulk - whole animals, sides, and quarters

 

Buying a whole steer (or side or quarter) is a fun and economical way to buy healthful, flavorful beef, and get a wide variety of beef cuts. 

 

You can have your side or quarter custom-processed. We will tell the butcher exactly how you want it. We can make suggestions if you would like help deciding how to get it processed.

 

How much does a side or quarter of beef cost?

 

  • A whole beef costs $8.25/lb.
  • A side of beef costs $8.50/lb.
  • A forequarter of beef costs $8.75/lb.  
  • A hindquarter of beef costs $9.00/lb. 
  • We charge a price per pound for freezer weight, the weight of the beef you’ll receive frozen, packaged, and labeled.
  • The exact price will depend on the animal’s final weight and the way you choose to have the beef processed.
  • As an estimate, a side of beef will yield approximately 250 pounds of beef and will cost about $2060.  
  • You will receive a detailed invoice describing the cuts you're receiving.
  • $0.25/lb DISCOUNT if you pick up your boxed beef yourself in Uvalde.

 

What is included in a side or quarter of beef? Read on below for more info! Please note that these are ESTIMATES and these are OPTIONS. You will not necessarily get exactly the following quantities or cuts.  If there is something you especially want, ON or OFF these lists, you must CUSTOM ORDER to make sure you get that. Custom ordering means that you have talked to Susana on the phone or by email about exactly how you want your beef processed.
