What You’ll Receive

Your Whole 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 whole cow yields around 500 lbs of finished, packaged beef.

We the make the process simple and easy from start to finish:

  1. Choose How Much Beef You Want: Decide whether you want a Quarter (1/4) Cow, Half (1/2) Cow, or a Whole Cow.
  2. Place Your Order Online: Place your $250 deposit to secure your spot.
  3. Customize Your Beef Cuts: Choose how you want your beef cut up directly with the butcher.
  4. Receive Notification When Your Beef is Processed: Your order will be vacuum-sealed, labeled, and ready for your freezer.
  5. We Deliver Your Order: Stock up your freezer and enjoy!

You’re also welcome to reach out with questions at any point — we’re a real family farm, and we love helping people understand where their food comes from.

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.
