BENEFITS OF BUYING BEEF SHARES
Purchasing a share of beef directly from our farm comes with many benefits. Our steers spend their life in a natural, peaceful environment, with unlimited grazing access to an abundant pasture. This environment leads to happy, healthy animals reducing stress and directly leading to a better finished product. Unlike the vast majority of super market beef, our cattle are not shipped from location to location in a fragmented commodity beef industry. This greatly decreases outside exposure, which minimizes the risk of stress and possible illness. Knowing where our beef is coming from and how it is raised offers a deeper connection to our protein source and a better appreciation as well.

HOW IT WORKS
Customers can select between 1/4, 1/2, and whole shares of beef. Pricing is based on hanging weight (weight of the carcass after slaughter, removal of hide, organs, and head), which typically ends up being 60% of the weight when alive. What you take home after cutting pieces into portions ends up being 55% of the hanging weight.
All shares include cuts from both front and hind quarters, and as a result, 1/4 of shares will be limited in customizing cuts.
Cost per share: $5.50/lb of hanging weight
*This includes all processing fees and convenient pick up from Argos Farm.
