Beef Shares

Below is an example of what each share will include. The weights listed below are an estimated average. The final cost will depend on the final hanging weight. Weights of cuts are estimated and depend on the final hanging weight as well as the butcher's discretion.

A beef share is a portion of a locally raised cow that provides a variety of premium cuts, including steaks, roasts, and ground beef. Instead of buying individual packages, you purchase a share of the live animal (whole, half, or quarter) and receive custom-cut, professionally packaged, freezer-ready beef—offering better value, quality, and a direct connection to ethical, family-run ranching in southern Arizona.

The cuts and weights listed below are provided as examples only. Actual cuts, quantities, and weights will vary based on the final hanging weight of the individual animal and the butcher’s standard cutting practices. No two animals are exactly alike, and final share contents may differ slightly from the example shown.

Understanding Hanging Weight
Hanging weight is the weight of the animal after harvest, once the hide and internal organs are removed. This weight is used to calculate the price of a beef share. As the beef is aged and processed, some weight is naturally lost due to moisture loss, trimming, and bone removal. Because of this, the amount of beef you take home is typically about 60–75% of the hanging weight. This is normal and part of producing high-quality, well-aged beef.
