Beef Information

When considering a larger, boxed purchase the first thing to think about is how much freezer space you have. 

Approximate sizing for portions of beef

Portion of Beef	Weight	Freezer space required
Eighth of beef	40 - 60 lbs	2 cubic feet
Quarter of beef	80 - 100 lbs	4 cubic feet
Half of beef	150 - 170 lbs	8 cubic feet
Whole Beef	325 - 375 lbs	15 cubic feet

The weights listed above are approximate, because one never knows precisely how much the beef will weigh until it comes back from the processor. Normally a 1000 pound cow should end up as approximately 350 pounds of beef cuts. However, my cows tend to weigh 250 - 300 pounds of beef cuts. 

 

The next important question is: What cuts will I get? 

Here is a breakdown of cuts that are typically available:

Ribeye Steak	Sirloin Tip Roast	Flank Steak	Stew Meat
NY Strip Steak	Rump Roast	Skirt Steak	Kabobs
Sirloin Steak	Arm Roast	Flat Iron Steak	Ground Beef
Round Steak	Chuck Roast	Hanger Steak	Shanks
Cube Steak	Brisket	Chuck Steak	Tenderloin Steak
