We raise Limousin and Angus cross cattle, providing beef as individual cuts, bundles, whole, halves and quarters all are USDA inspected. We sell off the farm, pick up locations across the Des Moines Metro and on ChopLocal. At Bastrop Cattle Co. all of our animals come from our ranch in Bastrop, TX and two other family-owned ranches is Bastrop & Fayette County. They’re grass-fed/grass-finished with no hormones or antibiotics ever. We process our animals at 12-14 months which means they’re smaller than a 2 year old feedlot steer, but the taste and texture of our entirely grass-fed beef will make it hard to ever go back to the grocery store! The other thing that makes us unique is that we go through the cut page with every single customer to ensure that we’ve customized it to your specific cooking needs. (Don’t worry though, you don’t have to know all the cuts!) Here’s how it works: you place a refundable deposit, we email you the available weights when we have them (usually within a week), we discuss the cut page together, then your half or whole cow is ready for pickup or delivery! Average turnarounds are between 3-4 weeks. When you order bulk meat, you're ordering a whole/half/quarter beef, a whole/half pork, or a whole/half lamb.

Bulk Beef Cost EstimatePlease keep in mind that each animal harvested is different, so weights may be more or less. These are ballpark estimates and may differ depending on the animal and on your cutting preferences. Heavier cattle will cost more with more meat and lighter cattle will cost less with less meat. We sell our bulk beef by the hanging weight, which is the hanging carcass weight in the cooler. It does not include any organs, head, hide, etc. It is the side of beef that you think of hanging at the butcher shop. If you don’t want the roasts and other cuts you can make it into premium hamburger! Wow, what a deal! And the quality blows the grocery store meat out of the water, and you know where it is coming from. For our bulk beef, we charge by the hanging weight. Prices are lower for a half and lower yet for a whole beef, so you get the best deal if you pull your friends, family, and neighbors together to order. The processing fee for the beef varies based on the cutting options that you choose. We will contact you to kindly walk you through the processing decisions and/or cutting sheet to make sure that you get what you really want. Our butcher shop is patient and is there to answer all of the questions that you have. Quarter BeefOn a heavy side average, a 1/4 (quarter) of beef comes out to about 175 pounds hanging (carcass) weight. Usually the actual amount of packaged beef that you take home is somewhere around 65% of the hanging weight, or about 114 pounds of meat, but it depends on your cutting preferences (bone in or bone out, etc). Our current hanging weight price for a quarter is $5.90/lb for grain-finished beef, and $6.20/lb for grassfed/grass-finished beef. A deposit seals in your price though for the next processing date. So you are looking at around $1033 for the meat of a grain-finished beef and $1085 for the meat of a grassfed beef, then you add the processing fee. Processing for a Standard Cut quarter beef at 175 lb. hanging weight, paper wrapped (vacuum seal is extra) would be about $282. So that is an estimated grand total of $1315 for a quarter of the best pastured non-GMO grain-finished beef and $1367 for grassfed/grass-finished beef. This is amazing beef frozen, labeled, boxed up, and ready to go. And you get the benefit of a variety of steaks, roasts, ground beef and more for a stash of your own meat in your own freezer for around the cost of ground beef! Half BeefBased on the above example, a half of beef standard cut and paper wrapped would be less than double the quarter price, around $2,550 total (meat + processing) for half of a pastured non-GMO grain-finished beef and around $2655 total (meat + processing) for half of a grassfed/grass-finished beef. With a half of beef, you have the option of custom cutting your beef. Whole BeefBased on the above example, a whole beef standard cut and paper wrapped would be less per pound than a quarter or half, around $4,994 total (meat + processing) for a whole pastured non-GMO grain-finished beef and around $5169 total (meat + processing) for a whole grassfed/grass-finished beef. With a whole beef, you have the option of custom cutting your beef. When your bulk beef order is ready, it can be picked up here at the farm, or we may be able to make an arrangement for delivery to you.

When you purchase a half a cow from us, we leave it up to you to choose the specific type of cuts you want and how you want them to be wrapped by our local butcher (Los Molinos Meats, California).
Is it worth buying 1/2 a cow?Buying half a cow is definitely worth it in the long run. The meat lasts up to 2-3 years if it's not defrosted or if the vacuum-sealed package is not punctured or compromised.
Is it cheaper to buy a part of a cow?Buying a whole cow or half a cow (not a quarter cow) will get you the best deal. A whole or a half cow is comparable in price when you break down the hanging weight and finished cuts price per pound. But a quarter cow is more expensive than both, running between $8.07 – $13.04 per pound.
How much does a 1/4 of a cow cost?A quarter beef with processing and delivery included will cost between $750-1000 This deposit goes towards the grand total, with the balance being paid at delivery. Processing is done at USDA inspected Bear Mountain Beef. The cuts of a quarter beef are 1/4 of all the cuts that would make up a whole beef.
