2025 COW SHARES ARE SOLD OUT. Our first delivery of 2026 will be in June. In the meantime, we’re working to create other options for customers through our direct program. We have an 1/8 (or mini) share option available now, and we hope to put up a 1/4 share option soon. The beef we’re currently offering in 1/8 shares is from Mark Anderson, who raises cattle in Ellensburg, WA. He does an outstanding job and the beef is excellent. Next year the beef in the direct program will come from Cory/Carman Ranch. If you'd like a smaller share to tide you over until spring, the 1/8 share is a great option!

----------------------------------------
Beef quarters range from 170 pounds to 200 pounds (hanging weight) and yield between 75 and 115 pounds for cut meat for your freezer. The hanging weight price for a quarter is $5.95 per pound. (Double those numbers for a rough estimate on a half beef, and double them again for a whole beef. The hanging weight price is $5.50 per pound for a half beef, or $5.00 for a whole beef.)
The cows are harvested on the farm for a fee of $155.00 per animal ($38.75 per quarter cow) and transported to Valley Meat Services in Wallowa. Valley Meat charges $1.10 per pound to cut and "wrap" (vacuum-seal) the meat.
