Here’s how it works:
1. Decide What You Need
First, choose between a whole or half beef share.
A whole share includes the entire beef, while a half share is half of that.
Please note: We do not offer quarter beef shares.
Things to consider:
Freezer space – You’ll need 16-20 cubic feet for a whole beef and 12-16 cubic feet for a half.
Cost – A whole beef share is cheaper per pound, but requires a larger upfront investment.
Family size – How much beef do you eat weekly?
This is the freshest beef you’ve ever put in your freezer. As long as the vacuum seal remains intact, it will stay fresh indefinitely.
2. Place Your Non-Refundable Deposit

3. Choose Your Processing Preferences
Once your order is secured, we’ll set up a time to walk you through your processing options.
Whether you want a standing rib roast or ribeye steaks, T-bones or strips and filets, any flavored sausage, or ground beef, we’ll customize your cuts to fit your family's needs.
4. Wait for Processing
Once we have your preferences, your beef will be sent to our trusted processor.
We use Circle S Meats. They are located on 1201 McEntire Road in Rutherfordton, NC.
We’ll keep you updated on the timeline so you know when to expect your beef.
5. Final Payment to Us
After processing, we’ll note the hanging weight of your beef and contact you for final payment based on this weight.
6. Pick Up & Pay the Processor
When your pork is ready, you’ll pick it up directly from the processor. You'll also make your final payment to the processor which includes the "kill fee" and any extra additions like sausage or patties.
Don't worry. We’ll provide all the details for a smooth pickup.
Our processor is located at 1201 McEntire Road in Rutherfordton, NC.
Typically, beef shares are ready within 10-14 business days from drop-off.
7. Shop Your Freezer & Enjoy
With your freezer stocked, meal planning is easier than ever.
Plus, we’ll send you recipes and cooking tips to help you get the most out of your beef share.
