From our family to yours

Is Buying a 1/2 Cow Worth It?

For families who enjoy beef regularly, a half cow means a freezer stocked with quality Angus beef, fewer last-minute grocery trips, and knowing the family behind your food.

From steaks on the grill to Sunday roasts and weeknight tacos, you’ll have a variety of cuts ready for the meals your family loves.

Generations of ranching experience

My dad was trusted to buy cattle at just 15 years old, and that lifelong dedication continues on our family ranch near Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.

Our Angus cattle grow on pasture with clean mountain water, with your choice of grain or grass finishing. Caring for our cattle and the land is part of our family’s everyday life.

Your half beef is aged for 21 days, with cuts customized to your preferences and processing included in the price. You reserve with a deposit and pay the remaining balance at pickup—making it straightforward to buy directly from our family.

What Comes in a Half Beef?

Chuck roasts, rump roasts, brisket and other slow-cooking cuts for hearty family dinners.

Ground Beef & Other Cuts

Your beef is aged for 21 days before cutting. With a half beef, you can customize steak thickness, roast sizes and ground beef packaging through our cut sheet. We’ll help you choose cuts that fit the way your family cooks.

These planning estimates are based on approximately 400 lb hanging weight and a 70% packaged yield. Actual weights and the mix of cuts vary with the animal, bone-in or boneless selections, and how much you choose to have ground.

Choose your finish

Grass-Fed Beef in Utah or Grain-Finished Beef?

Both options are Angus beef from our family ranch in southern Idaho, available to Utah customers.

For richer flavor and more marbling

Choose grain-finished beef. These cattle begin on pasture and are finished with grain, giving the beef more marbling and a richer flavor.

For leaner, grass-finished beef

Choose grass-finished beef if you prefer leaner cuts and cattle fed grass and forage throughout their lives.

Select your preferred finish on the half-beef product page before reserving.
