Yes, you by yourself or with a group of friends would share a whole cow; you are actually buying a cow! We custom raise the animal and have it sent to a local, custom butcher for processing for you. The cost is $8.50/lb for the "hanging weight" of the cow. That's the weight of the cow as it is aging in the cooler, which should be anywhere between 675-750lbs. This translates to about 385lbs of beef in your freezer (the difference between the hanging weight and the amount of beef in your freezer is from the aging process and the bones and excess fat). You get to choose how it is butchered - we can help with that, since it can be intimidating! We generally end up with a mix of some steaks (filets, NY strips, ribeyes, and sirloins), roasts, stew, and a good amount of ground beef, but you can choose to have it cut to your liking. Your beef will be ready around September 10. Reach out to us with any questions!
