The bulk beef half is custom cut to your specifications in order to maximize the cuts you want most.
Granted, there's always a portion of ground beef (roughly half of the take-home weight), and you may want to maximize that depending on your family's tastes and cooking habits. However, most people want to maximize steak, or roast, or they want chipped steak, summer sausage, etc., and this is where custom cut bulk beef shines.
The bulk beef half allows you to get all of these high-end cuts for a base carcass weight price, and the cost of processing is simply passed on at face value.
The only con to purchasing the custom cut bulk beef is the wait (for those who need bulk beef immediately, we have beef bundles). Depending on the time of year, you may have to wait a few months until our next harvest. Otherwise, it's a win-win. You get top quality 100% grassfed beef custom cut to your specs, it comes frozen with each cut individually packaged in the package sizes you want, and you pay far less than buying it cut by cut retail. Plus, you get to enjoy the ease of in-home food abundance.

The undeniable fact remains that grass-fed grass-finished beef is a relatively expensive meat protein when purchased in the individual cut from a retail outlet or subscription meat purveyor. For example, the average retail price of all the different cuts of beef we carry in individual cuts is $18.00/lb. – including the lower priced cuts like bones and ground beef. However, when purchased in bulk the cost of a bulk beef – after processing – is usually $10-12 a pound of take-home meat.
