With whole, half, and quarter beef shares available, you’ll enjoy premium cuts starting at just $12/lb, including all processing and packaging.
About half of the beef you receive will be steaks and cuts and the other half will be ground beef. This is a fantastic way to eat local from a source you trust, save money, and enjoy a superior tenderness and rich, unbeatable flavor. This isn't just beef; it's a tradition of quality that spans generations.

beef share FAQ’s
-
We ask that you place a $500, $1000, or $2000 deposit to reserve a Quarter, Half, or Whole Beef Share. Once your beef is complete, we will email you a final invoice to be paid before picking up or shipping your beef.
-
Unfortunately, you cannot choose the exact cuts you receive. We cut our beef according to our standard cut sheet and then split the whole beef into quarters for you to purchase. You can only customize the cut sheet for a whole animal. Here is an example of what each share receives:
-
Each steak and roast is individually vacuum sealed. Ground Beef is vacuumed sealed into 1 lb packages. Everything is frozen.
-
Quarter Cow: 4-6 cubic feet
Half Cow: 7-10 cubic feet
Whole Cow: 15-20 cubic feet
-
We strive to have quarter beef shares always ready to go. If everything is sold out, the process can take up to 45 days for your beef to be ready. We will keep you updated on the status of your beef share.
-
Pick-Up: We offer free pick-up from our Paso Robles Butcher Shop at: 3450 Riverside Ave. Paso Robles, CA 93446. We ask that you call, text, or email us at least 24 hours before your desired pick-up time. We are open form 9-4 Monday through Friday, and 9-1 on Saturdays.
Shipping: We can only ship our beef shares within California currently. Shipping is a flat rate of $200 per quarter, $400 per half, and $800 for a whole beef. We will schedule a ship date with you once your share is ready.
