Why Our Beef?

• It’s Clean! Our cows have been raised on 100% grass from beginning to end. They’ve lived their whole lives on hundreds of acres of pasture. They’ve never seen grain or feedlots. Our cows spend all summer open-range grazing in the mountains of the White River National Forest. They are 100% added hormone free, 100% pesticide free, and 100% antibiotic free!

• It’s Local! When you buy local, you guarantee fresher, more nutritiously rich, and cleaner beef. You’re not only supporting our small family business, but you boost the local economy as well. Buying our local beef ensures you’re supporting sustainable agriculture and fostering a connection to your food source.

• It’s Cheaper! When you buy bulk beef you pay a lower price per pound. By cutting out the middleman and buying directly from the source, you save on each individual cut. No retail markup!

• It’s Convenient! No more last minute trips to the grocery store for overpriced, low-quality beef. Instead enjoy your own at-home selection of diverse cuts of discounted, quality beef!

• It’s Dependable! In this world, food security is vital. Stocking up on essential beef is going to give you peace of mind for the long run!

Who Can Buy Beef? Anyone can order beef as long as you are able to pick up your order from the home ranch in Carbondale, CO. You will be 100% responsible for keeping your beef frozen on the drive home in July. We recommend preparing ice, coolers, dry ice, or cold storage bags for transporting your beef home.

Pricing and Payment: We base our pricing on the hanging weight of the cow after slaughter when the hide, organs, head, and feet have been removed. We charge $7.30/lb hanging weight for quarter cows, $7.15/lb for half cows, and $7.00/lb for whole cows. When you place an order, we will ask you to pay a deposit: $750 for quarter cows, $1,200 for half cows, and $2,000 for whole cows. This deposit is a payment towards the total balance. Final price is determined after butchering and depends on the hanging weight. Included in the price is all butchering and processing into individual cuts.

We accept cash (in person), check (by mail), or card (email invoice). Please note that if you choose to pay with a card there will be a 3% processing fee added to your total. Before you can take your beef home you will be required to pay the final balance. Please do not submit your deposit until we have confirmed your order with you. Deposits will not be refunded if you abandon your beef.

How long will my beef feed my family? A family of 5 will use a quarter of beef in 4-5 months, a half in 8-10 months, and a whole in 12+ months.

How much freezer space will I need? A general rule of thumb requires 1 cubic foot of freezer for 25-35 pounds of beef. A quarter requires 4-6 cubic feet. A half uses 8-12 cubic feet. A whole requires 16-25 cubic feet. Make sure you have the available freezer space before you place an order.
