Bulk Custom Beef
We offer a variety of plans suitable for every household. Buying a bulk share of Mammoth Valley beef is the best way to save time and money!
Our explanations of the products below are designed to give you the knowledge you need to make the best decision for your family.
On average, a bulk beef will be divided into 20% steaks, 30% roasts, and 50% ground beef. However, this is where those cuts sheets make a difference; if you don't select to get many steaks and roasts, you'll end up with a lot more ground beef!
Take a look below to learn more.
Quarter Beef
A year+ supply for 2 person household
With a quarter beef, you can receive 3-4 chuck/arm roasts, 3 round roasts, 1 brisket, 25 steaks, 10 lbs. ribs, and a significant amount of ground beef.
Assuming a 1,200 lb animal, you'll take home a little over 100 lbs of beef when you buy a quarter. Avg $1300
That means stocking up on high-quality ground beef, tender roasts, and mouth-watering steaks an average of only $9.71/lb!
Half Beef (Most Popular)

This amount of beef can fill some freezers entirely, and it will offer most families a consistent supply of beef all year long.
Assuming a 1,200 lb animal, a half beef will be around 250 lbs to go in the freezer, occupying up to 8-10 cubic feet of space.
Avg $2500

Terms Explained
Live, Hanging, and Take Home Weight
Live Weight
AKA Hoof Weight
This is the weight of live animal when it arrives to the processor. Our beefs are typically 1,200 lbs, so we will assume 1,200 lbs for our example.
Hanging Weight
AKA dressed weight
This is the weight of carcass with all the non-edible parts removed. This is the most common weight to use to calculate the cost of the animal. This is typically 60-70% of the live weight, so 720-840 lbs.
Take Home Weight
AKA Boxed or Retail Rate
As the name suggest, this is the amount you take home for the freezer. What your order looks like with vary depending on your cut sheet (the fat percentage, if you chose more specialty cuts, bone in vs. bone out). This is typically 60% of the hanging weight. Again, assuming a 1,200 lb animal, your take home weight will be 430-550 lbs.
Plan on one cubic foot of freezer space for every 15-20 lbs of meat.
Ex: for a 1/2 beef, you'll need at least an 8-10 cu ft. freezer.
Past Cut Sheets
There are many different ways to have your bulk beef processed.
Here are just a few examples of past cutomers's cut sheets.
Once you know the amount of beef you'd like to order...
Reserve Your Beef
Call or use the form below to reserve your spot. Because we book butcher dates over a year in advance, space is limited. To secure your processing date, we require a non-refundable deposit, which will be applied to your final balance.
Custom Cuts
After reserving, you’ll fill out a custom cut sheet (download available at the bottom of this page) to choose the types and sizes of cuts you’d like. Beef is typically packaged and ready for pickup about 3 weeks after processing.
Processing Fee
The butcher’s processing fee is separate from our price (about $500 per whole animal, already factored into our estimates).
Pickup & Payment
As your processing date approaches, we’ll schedule pickup at our Cave City farm store. Delivery may be available for an additional fee. The remaining balance for your beef is due at pickup or delivery.
