Filet Mignon! A cut that NP and I would never have if we couldn't get it with out half a beef! What exactly do you get when you buy a half a beef? Well, when you buy a half a beef, you literally buy a half a steer from NP and I and we drop it off at the locker for you. From there you tell the locker how you would like your meat cut and packaged. So, in a way, it’s up to you but a half a beef generally includes everything from hamburger to roasts and a variety of steaks to more unusual things like liver (braunschweiger* anyone?!), heart, or tongue.
Don’t like liver? Leave it at the locker. That’s not a problem! Want all of the steaks you can get? Just let the locker know when you are filling out your cut order. Want more hamburger? No problem, you can have other cuts of meat ground to create more hamburger!
So what you get is really up to you!
Personally, NP and I always ask for the greatest number of roasts available from our half, followed by steaks, then stew meat. We also take advantage of all the fun stuff like short ribs and will even get some tallow back this time to experiment with. On average, we end up with about 30% ground beef and stew meat, 60% roasts and steaks, and 10% miscellaneous cuts like short ribs and soup bones.
For more information on what a typical steer weighs and how the price is figured check out our product page here.
A whole beef or a quarter beef follows the same idea, you just get more or less of each product. :)
We have 2 steers going to the locker on February 13th, 2018. Email Emily at [email protected] today to order your whole, half, or quarter beef!
Enjoy!

*Disclaimer: you have to make the liver into braunschweiger yourself, the locker probably won't do that for you. BUT be watching for a recipe on here in the near(ish) future
