Half Beef - (October 2026)

Half Beef Share

Bring home approximately 250–300 lbs of packaged beef, including steaks, roasts, brisket, ribs, ground beef, and more.

Estimated Cost

Based on a typical half-share hanging weight of 450–550 lbs:

• Beef: $2,250–$2,750
• Processing: $450–$633
• Estimated total: $2,700–$3,383

Payment Schedule

• Pay today: $250 deposit
• Remaining beef balance: Approximately $2,000–$2,500
• Processing: Paid separately to Double J at pickup

Your exact cost is based on your share’s final hanging weight. Beef is $5.00/lb and processing is approximately $1.00–$1.15/lb.

Because beef shares are heavily discounted, we prefer check for the final beef balance. Credit card payments include a 3.5% service charge.

Discount codes apply only to the $250 deposit and do not reduce the remaining beef balance or processing cost.

What’s Included

A half beef includes a variety of premium steaks, everyday steaks, roasts, brisket, ribs, ground beef, and other cuts. Organs, bones, and tallow are included when available.

Pickup

Pickup is at Double J Meat Packing in Pierce, Colorado. We will notify you when your beef is ready. Beef shares cannot be shipped.

Plan for at least 9 cubic feet of freezer space, or approximately 6–8 freezer trays.

Important Details

Half beef shares are dry-aged for 14 days and packaged with generic labels to help keep costs lower. Steaks are cut 1.25 inches thick unless otherwise requested. Final weights and cut amounts vary by animal.

Vacuum seals can occasionally loosen over time. This does not affect food safety, but those packages should be used sooner to prevent freezer burn. Ice crystals are normal, especially on larger cuts.
