Choose Your Beef Share: Quarter, Half, or Whole
A Quarter Beef is an excellent choice for first-time bulk buyers or smaller households. It’s roughly 100+ lbs of packaged beef (about 1/4 of a cow), which usually fills ~4 cubic feet of freezer space (about the size of a small chest freezer). In a Quarter Beef, you’ll receive a well-rounded selection of cuts, for example: tender steaks (ribeyes, NY strips, sirloins, filets), a variety of roasts, short ribs, stew meat, and a generous portion of ground beef (around 40–50 lbs).
This mix comes neatly vacuum-sealed and frozen, so it’s ready to store or cook as you wish. Many families find that a quarter share can feed a family of four for several months. It arrives in about 5–6 boxes and gives you the convenience of a personal “mini meat locker” at home.
Need more beef? A Half Beef is about 200+ lbs of meat (twice a quarter) and requires roughly 8 cubic feet of freezer space (a medium chest freezer). With a half share, you’ll get double the quantity of all the cuts – plenty of steaks, roasts, ribs, and ground beef to keep even a big family or avid grillers satisfied.
Half Beef buyers often enjoy a slightly lower cost per pound (thanks to the larger volume). It’s a great choice if you have a larger freezer or want to split the bounty with friends or relatives.
For the ultimate supply and best per-pound pricing, a Whole Beef provides around 400+ lbs of meat (the entire animal). You’ll want a large freezer (approximately 16 cubic feet of space, or multiple freezers) to store this amount.
Purchasing a whole cow means you’ll receive a broad assortment of every cut the animal offers – from premium steaks and roasts to ground meat and specialty cuts. This option is perfect for large families, shared purchases (split a whole cow among multiple households), or anyone looking for the maximum value and convenience of having a year’s supply of beef on hand. It’s truly a farm-to-freezer experience for the most committed beef enthusiasts.
No matter which share you choose, you’re getting the same high-quality, pasture-raised beef. The difference is simply quantity and pricing. Larger shares cost more upfront but reduce the average price per pound– you save more in the long run.
Quarter Beef is the most popular starting point, Half Beef is ideal for those who cook frequently or have bigger freezers, and Whole Beef offers the best bulk value (often enjoyed by multiple families or deep-freeze planners).
Choose the size that fits your household’s needs and freezer space, and rest assured you’ll be eating well.
Sustainability & Exceptional Quality
Cattle grazing freely on open pasture land.
Our Beef’s Journey Begins on the Ranch:
OC Grass Fed beef comes from cattle raised by our partner farm in Missoula, Montana, where the animals roam on open grasslands and are cared for with the highest standards of ethics and animal welfare. With regenerative ranching– it means they work to improve soil health, water resources, and biodiversity on the land. Healthy pastures lead to healthy cattle: the cows graze on natural grasses and hay, never confined to feedlots. They are never fed grain (100% grass-fed and grass-finished) and are given no growth hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. This natural approach not only treats the animals with respect, it also yields better beef.
Nutrient-Rich & Delicious: Grass-fed, grass-finished beef is leaner and packed with beneficial nutrients compared to conventional grain-fed beef. Studies show it contains higher levels of heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), beta-carotene, and vitamin E. What does that mean for you? Meat that’s not only flavorful but also better for you and your family. Our cattle graze on nutrient-rich Montana pastureland, converting wild grasses into protein the way nature intended – the result is
high-quality, healthy beef that nourishes your body. Many customers also describe the taste as what beef “used to be” – rich and robust, yet clean. The marbling in our beef is developed from an active, pasture-raised life, giving you tender steaks with a buttery flavor without relying on grain feeding. In short, you’ll notice the difference in every bite: this beef is leaner, healthier, and tastes better.
Ethical & Sustainable Practices:
By sourcing from Oxbow, we ensure our beef aligns with values of sustainability. The ranchers actively steward their land (protecting streams, restoring native plants, and rotating grazing pastures) to leave the land better tomorrow than it is today. Cattle are handled humanely – moved calmly on horseback or foot to minimize stress– which contributes to better quality meat (stress can affect tenderness). Oxbow’s mission is to “respect all animals and produce high-quality, healthy beef that nourishes the body and soul.”
When you buy from OC Grass Fed, you’re not just getting great beef –
you’re supporting sustainable agriculture
and a ranching family committed to doing things the right way. It’s a product you can feel good about, from the Montana ranch to your Orange County table.
What’s Included in the Price?
When you invest in an OC Grass Fed bulk beef share, you’re paying for
more than just meat – you’re getting a full-service experience from farm to fork. Here’s a breakdown of what factors into our pricing (and why it’s worth it):
Regenerative Farming & Animal Care:
Raising grass-fed cattle on open pasture is a slow, careful process. Our partner ranch spends years tending the herd – from providing ample grazing land to ensuring animals are healthy and stress-free. This hands-on, ethical approach yields superior beef, but it also means higher costs than industrial feedlot methods. Your purchase helps sustain these eco-friendly farming practices and supports ranchers dedicated to land stewardship.
Professional Butchering & Dry-Aging:
Quality processing is key to great beef. After the cattle are humanely harvested at a USDA-inspected facility (for safety and quality assurance), the beef is dry-aged for about 10–14 days. Dry-aging allows natural enzymes to tenderize the meat and concentrate the flavor, resulting in a more tender, flavorful steak than “fresh immediately” processing. (Many supermarket meats are not aged this long!) We use skilled butchers to cut your beef according to standard specifications, yielding a balanced assortment of steaks, roasts, ribs, and ground. All butchering and processing fees are included in your price – there are no hidden charges for carving up the beef.
Vacuum-Sealed Packaging:
Every cut is individually vacuum sealed and labeled. This premium packaging locks in freshness by removing air, and ensures your beef keeps in perfect condition for the long term. In fact, vacuum-sealed frozen beef can last a year or more without quality loss – up to 12–18 months in your freezer with no freezer burn. You don’t have to worry about eating it all at once; you can enjoy it at your own pace, knowing the last steak will be just as good as the first.
Logistics from Montana to OC:
Getting frozen beef from a Montana ranch to Orange County is a labor of love! We handle all the transportation and logistics for you. After processing, your beef is kept frozen and loaded onto our refrigerated transport. We coordinate the long drive from Montana to California, maintaining the cold-chain the entire way. These logistics (fuel, refrigeration, handling) are built into the cost. It’s like having the ranch come to you – we do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Home Delivery in Orange County:
Unlike many bulk beef programs that require pickup at a farm or meeting point, OC Grass Fed brings your order right to your door. We schedule a delivery time that’s convenient for you and deliver your beef to your home (still frozen solid) with care. Home delivery within Orange County is included in your pricing, as our way of making this process truly hassle-free. From our ranch partners in Montana to your OC address, we manage the journey end-to-end.
Customer Service & Transparency:
We pride ourselves on personal service. Have questions during the process? We’re here to help. We keep you updated on your order status and final weights. The price you pay is based on the final packaged weight of your share, at a straightforward per-pound rate –
you only pay for what you actually receive. There are no surprise fees; we even cover the credit card processing fees in our pricing. Our goal is to provide a premium product and a premium experience, so you feel confident and excited about filling your freezer with our beef.
In summary, the price of a bulk beef share reflects a full farm-to-freezer service: ethical ranching, high-quality butchering, careful aging, secure packaging, and reliable delivery. While the upfront cost is significant (because you’re buying many months’ worth of beef at once), it often averages out to significant savings per pound when compared to buying equivalent cuts individually at a grocery or butcher. Plus, you’re getting a level of quality grocery stores can’t match – grass-fed, sustainably raised beef, professionally aged and cut just for you. Our customers will tell you it’s worth every penny for the flavor, nutrition, and peace of mind you gain.

1.
Place Your Order with a Deposit
To get started, choose your desired share size (Eighth, Quarter, Half, or Whole) and place an order through our website or by contacting us. Instead of paying the full amount upfront, you’ll pay a deposit to secure your share. This deposit is typically around 50% of the estimated cost
of your order. (For example, if a Quarter Beef is estimated at ~100 lbs, you’d pay roughly half of that value now.) The deposit allows the ranch to allocate your portion of an animal and begin the process.
Note: Deposits are non-refundable, since we commit to sourcing and processing your beef once you order – so make sure you’re ready for a freezer-full! However, your deposit does count toward the final price, of course. We accept major payment methods for the deposit (and if you have any special payment needs, feel free to discuss with us).
2.
Confirmation & Scheduling
After your deposit is received, our team will follow up (usually within a day or two) to confirm your order details. We’ll verify the share size, answer any remaining questions, and give you an estimated timeline. At this point, if you’ve ordered a Half or Whole and have specific cutting instructions or preferences, you can let us know – we’ll communicate those to the butcher.
Otherwise, for standard cuts (especially with Quarter shares), we’ll proceed with our proven cut plan that gives a bit of everything. We’ll also confirm your contact info for delivery
(phone and email).
Don’t worry if your freezer isn’t empty yet – you’ll have some time to make space while we handle the next steps!
3.
Ranch-to-Butcher Processing
Once your order is queued, the ranch schedules your beef for processing. Cattle are typically sent to the processor on the next available date. After humane harvest, the beef carcass dry-ages for about 10–14 days in a climate-controlled cooler.
This aging process is crucial for tenderness and flavor development. When aging is complete, the beef is expertly butchered into individual cuts. All the meat is then vacuum-sealed, labeled, and flash-frozen to lock in freshness. We receive the final weight of your share at this stage. In total, from the day you place your order to the day processing is finished is usually around 8–12 weeks. This timeline can vary a bit (depending on processing schedules or if you ordered during a busy season), but we’ll keep you updated on progress. We know you’re excited to fill your freezer, so we make sure to communicate along the way!
4.
Final Invoice & Delivery Scheduling
As soon as your beef is processed and ready for transport, we’ll reach out to you. We’ll send your
final invoice by email, reflecting the actual weight of your beef at the agreed per-pound price (minus the deposit you already paid). The remaining balance can be conveniently paid online. Next, we arrange a delivery time with you by phone.
Delivery is coordinated in advance so you can be home to receive your beef.
We typically group Orange County deliveries over a day or two, and we’ll find a window that works for your schedule. Because your order is frozen, we want to transfer it to your freezer as quickly as possible – we’ll bring it directly from our refrigerated truck to you.
5.
Freezer Delivery to Your Door
OC Grass Fed provides free home delivery in Orange County – yes, we bring your beef right to you! On the scheduled day, we’ll arrive with your boxes of beef (remember, a Quarter Beef is about 5–6 boxes; larger shares will have more).
The beef will be rock-solid frozen and packed to stay that way during the short trip from our truck to your kitchen. We can carry the boxes inside for you or to your garage, wherever your freezer is located. All you need to do is have your freezer space cleared and ready. (Tip: Clean and organize your freezer a day or two beforehand so you can easily load your new supply of beef.)
Delivery is a quick process – we respect your time and aim to get your order to you in perfect condition. If for any reason you’re not available at the very last minute, let us know and we’ll work out an alternative; otherwise, plan on a smooth hand-off of your beef at the arranged time.
6.
Stock Your Freezer & Enjoy
Once delivered, it’s time to pack your freezer with your new abundance of beef! We recommend organizing the cuts by type – for example, keep all the steaks in one section, roasts in another, ground beef in another – so it’s easy to find dinner on the fly.
Each package is labeled (e.g. “Ribeye Steak – 1.2 lb” or “Ground Beef – 1 lb”), which makes meal planning a breeze. If you purchased a Quarter Beef, ensure you have roughly 4 cubic feet of space cleared (an upright freezer shelf or a small chest freezer) to accommodate it. Half beef will need about 8 cubic feet, and a Whole about 16 cubic feet, as noted earlier. You might be amazed at how much meat you now have – it’s a great feeling! Because everything is vacuum-sealed and frozen, you can take your time enjoying it.
Properly frozen, well-sealed beef can stay delicious for well over a year, so there’s no rush. Treat yourself to a steak dinner one night, a slow-cooked roast the next, and know that you have dozens more meals waiting for you. It’s like having a personal steakhouse and burger joint in your freezer!
7.
Cooking & Serving
You’ll quickly taste the difference that grass-fed, farm-direct beef makes. For the best experience, we suggest thawing steaks and roasts in the refrigerator overnight (or use the defrost setting on your microwave if in a pinch). Because the beef is leaner, it may cook a bit faster than fattier grain-fed beef – keep an eye on those steaks so they don’t overcook. Many customers rave about the rich beef flavor; even ground beef from a grass-fed animal can elevate weeknight tacos or burgers. Enjoy experimenting with all the cuts you received. From grilling those beautifully marbled ribeyes to slow-braising the short ribs until they’re fall-apart tender, you have an entire palette of possibilities. We periodically share recipes and cooking tips on our website and social media, so be sure to check those out if you want inspiration for any unfamiliar cuts.
Every meal you create from your bulk share is a celebration of sustainable, high-quality beef.
