A half beef share - a half cow, also called a side of beef - at least 225 lbs of 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef from Carter Ranch in Ten Sleep, Wyoming: ground beef, steaks, roasts, organs and bones. Compare every share's price per pound.

How much meat is in a half cow?

A half beef share - also called a half cow share - is a minimum of 225 lbs of finished, frozen beef: about 110 lbs ground beef, 52 lbs premium cuts, 49 lbs mid cuts, 6 lbs organs and 10 lbs bones. It is bulk beef, bought by the share rather than by the cut, and it arrives as freezer beef ready to store.

Allow up to 3 weeks to ship, depending on inventory.

Half Beef Share - Half Cow Breakdown - ~225 lbs

True regenerative, Galician-style beef. Slow-grown for depth and nutrient density. Up to 8 years grazing diverse Wyoming rangeland and irrigated pasture. 100% grass-fed, grass-finished, and free-roaming.

EverSoil® Certified, an outcome-based standard verifying both Land EKG land health and nutrient density with transparent data. Low Omega 6:3 ratio - our July 2026 ground beef sample tested at 1.82:1, versus 8.28:1* for grain-finished beef in a 2026 Journal of Animal Science study.
Approximately $13.91/lb before shipping.

What you get (approximate):

  • Ground Beef - 110 lbs (48%)
  • Premium Cuts - 52.2 lbs (23%)
  • Mid Cuts - 49 lbs (22%)
  • Organs - 6 lbs (3%)
  • Bones - 10 lbs (4%)

How much freezer space does a half cow need?

About 6 cubic feet, using the rule of thumb of 1 cubic foot per 35-40 lbs of beef. Plan on a dedicated chest freezer.

How much does a half cow cost per pound?

About $13.91 per lb before shipping ($3,130 for at least 225 lbs). That is about $5.26 a pound less than our 6 lb Beef Sampler Box ($19.17 per lb) - roughly 27% less. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

How long does a half cow take to ship?

Allow up to 3 weeks, depending on inventory. It ships frozen by UPS from Denver, and local pickup in Denver is available.

Compare every share side by side.

* 8.28:1 is the average of 84 grain-finished ribeye samples (Varre, van Vliet et al., J. Anim. Sci. 2026). Carter's figure is from ground beef, a different cut.
