Curious about buying in bulk and the benefits that come from sourcing directly from the ranch? Not enough room in your freezer or members in your household for a 1/4 cow?This is the answer.
The equivalent of 1/8 beef, the Mini Grass-Fed Beef Share gives you the same variety and savings of a larger share without filling your entire freezer. Best of all, you get everything for an average price of $11.50 per pound, or the price you'd pay for our ground beef in the grocery store. That's an overall average savings of 25%+ over retail.
Here's a sample of what you might get:
- Butcher’s Choice: Brisket OR flank steak OR tri tip
- 1 chuck roast
- 20 pounds ground beef (in 1-1/2# packages)
- 3 ribeye steaks
- 2-3 New York steaks
- 1 sirloin steak
- 2 tenderloin filets
- 2 packages stew meat
- 1 package short ribs
- 1 package osso bucco
Mini shares come in at about 80 pounds (hanging weight) and yield between 55 pounds of cut meat for your freezer. The hanging weight price for an 1/8 (mini) share is $7.00 per pound.
The cows are harvested on the farm for a fee of $150.00 per animal ($18.75 per mini share) and transported to Valley Meat Services in Wallowa. Valley Meat charges $1.15 per pound to cut and "wrap" (vacuum-seal) the meat.
