Why an eighth

Half a beef, without half a freezer.

You want half a beef. You do not want 200 pounds landing on one afternoon, and you may not own a chest freezer. So we split it: 50 pounds, four times a year, and by the fourth delivery you have had half a beef.

What you get

What 50 pounds of beef looks like.

Every delivery is the same list, cut the way the animal comes. Not custom cut.

Packaged beef, every delivery: 50 lb Marty confirms the pack-out clears 50 lb every time

Packaged, take-home weight, never hanging weight. 50 pounds is the number we pack to, never under.

One harvest, one cow

Beef from a harvest you can name.

Every delivery comes from one specific harvest and one specific cow. It goes to our USDA inspected Kansas locker, hangs 21 days confirm with Marty, gets cut and frozen, and ships the same week. Fresh beef every three months, cut and frozen the week it came off the rail.

The ranch

Shipping is shown at checkout and charged with each delivery. We take pride in getting your beef to you frozen. If for any reason you are not happy, give us a call and we will work with you.

When it comes

Four deliveries a year, on the harvest.

Februarywinter harvest
Mayspring harvest
Augustsummer harvest
Novemberfall harvest

The dates follow the cattle, not the calendar. Four times a year we take a harvest to the locker for the Harvest Half, and every delivery that cycle comes from it. That is why the months are fixed: your beef is cut and frozen the week it comes off the rail and ships that week, every time.

Reserve any time. Your first delivery is the next harvest on the calendar, and you pay $700 when you reserve. After that it is $700 each delivery, billed the week it ships. Reserve less than four weeks before a delivery month and you start with the one after. confirm the cutoff with Marty's locker dates

Questions

What people ask before they reserve.

How much is half a cow?

From Diamond R, half a beef over a year is $2,800 on the Harvest Half: 50 pounds delivered four times, February, May, August and November, $700 each time, shipping added at checkout, and it fits the freezer you already have.

How much beef is an eighth of a cow?

50 pounds packaged: 18 steaks, a chuck roast, 24 patties and 22 pounds of ground beef, + 1 featured cut. The full list is above.

How much freezer space do I need?

About 1.5 cubic feet per delivery, which is the freezer on top of most refrigerators.

Is it custom cut?

No. Every delivery is the same list, so you get the whole animal in proportion.

Can I pause, skip or cancel?

Yes, anytime, from your account. A skipped delivery means that harvest's eighth goes to someone else. There is no make-up box.

When exactly does it ship?

February, May, August and November, each from that season's harvest. We email your ship week about four weeks ahead. proposed
