Why Choose a Half Beef?
A half beef gives you plenty of steaks, roasts, ground beef, and everyday cuts. You also have more choice in how your beef is cut and packaged.
It is a good option for larger families, people who eat beef often, or two families ordering together.
Choose Your Cuts
After you order, we’ll send you a cut sheet. You can choose things like:
Steak thickness
Roast size
Ground beef package size
Bone-in or boneless cuts
Soup bones, organs, and other available cuts
Some choices will change the final mix. For example, you can choose T-bone and porterhouse steaks or boneless strip steaks and tenderloin—but not both.
Never filled out a cut sheet before? We’re happy to help.
