Quarter Beef · Legacy House Cut
What comes in a quarter?
Every quarter is cut to our Legacy House Cut — the balanced mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef we’d stock our own freezer with. There’s no cut sheet to fill out; we handle it. Here’s what a typical quarter from one of our 1,250–1,300 lb animals looks like:
~110 lbs
boxed beef
~22
steaks
4–5 ft³

| Your freezertypical total — varies with the animal | ~105–115 lbs | |
Weights are honest approximations — every animal is different, and your final price is always actual hanging weight × your quoted price per pound. Ground beef makes up close to half the box: about a year of burgers, tacos, and meatballs.
Why is every quarter the same?
A steer doesn’t divide into four identical pieces — your quarter shares primal cuts with three other families. Cutting every quarter to one proven sheet is the only way each family gets a fair, complete share of the best cuts. Want it cut your way, cut for cut? That’s exactly what a half beef gives you — a fully custom cut sheet.
