Half Cow

Description

Our family raises cattle right here in Northern Illinois — and when you buy a Half (1/2) Cow from Nadig Farms, you’re getting local beef that’s born, raised, and processed close to home.

What You’ll Receive

Your Half Cow includes a generous selection of cuts, all vacuum-sealed and labeled for easy storage and meal planning:

• Steaks: Ribeyes, Sirloins, T-bones, and Round Steaks.
• Roasts: Arm Roasts, Chuck Roasts, Rump Roasts, Short Ribs, Sirloin Tip Roasts, Soup Bones, and Beef Stew Meat.
• Ground Beef: Perfect for burgers, tacos, and everyday meals.

On average, a half cow yields around 250 lbs of finished, packaged beef.

Raised Right. Tastes Better.

Our cattle are raised on lush Northern Illinois pastures and finished on a balanced local feed for tender, richly flavored beef. We never rush the process — it’s part of why our beef tastes the way it should: naturally flavorful, nutrient-rich, and locally sourced.

• Ethically Raised: Humane care and sustainable practices are at the core of what we do.
• Pasture-Grown Quality: Healthier cattle mean better-tasting beef.
• Vacuum-Sealed Freshness: Each cut is professionally processed and sealed to lock in peak flavor.
