Thank you for your interest in Flying B Beef. We are proud to offer locally raised beef from Catheys Valley in Mariposa County, California. Before placing an order, please take a moment to review how purchasing works. We offer two different ways to buy our beef, and each process is a little different.
Beef boxes are the simplest and fastest way to purchase Flying B Beef. These boxes contain a curated selection of cuts that have already been processed, packaged, and frozen.
Our boxes include options like the Urbanite, Ranchette, Doublewide, Burger Box, Baron Box, and Homesteader Box. Each box contains a variety of steaks, roasts, or brisket blend ground beef depending on the selection.
Because these boxes are pre-packed, the cuts are already selected and cannot be customized.
Browse our available beef boxes and select the option that best fits your needs and freezer space.
Add your selected box to your cart and complete checkout through our website. Beef boxes function like a typical retail purchase.
Boxes are stocked as inventory allows. If a box sells out, we will restock and notify customers when it becomes available again.
Once your order is placed, you will receive instructions for receiving your beef.
We offer two options:
Local Pickup - Available at Mae It Be Home in downtown Mariposa, California.
Local Delivery - Available for customers making a purchase of $1,000 or more within one hour of Catheys Valley, California. (Think of this as the stretch between Clovis and Modesto.)
Bulk shares are for customers who want to purchase a larger quantity of beef and, in some cases, customize how their animal is cut.
This process is more involved than purchasing a beef box, but it allows you to fill your freezer and choose many of the cuts you receive.
Approximately 100 pounds of beef.
This option is pre-selected and packaged similarly to our beef boxes.
Because the quarter share is pre-packed, no cut sheet is required.
Approximately 200-350 pounds of beef.
Customers purchasing a half cow will receive a cut sheet, allowing them to select and tailor their preferred cuts.
Approximately 400-700 pounds of beef.
Whole cow customers will also receive a cut sheet and have the most flexibility when selecting cuts.
Bulk shares require a deposit to reserve your animal.
Once your deposit is received, your share is secured for the upcoming processing date. Processing date could be up to 2 months.
Customers purchasing half or whole shares will receive a cut sheet prior to processing.
This allows you to select options such as:
• Steak thickness
• Roast sizes
• Steak vs roast preferences
• Ground beef packaging
• Bones, organ, offal and fat requests
Quarter shares (Baron Boxes) are pre-selected and do not require a cut sheet.
Your animal will be processed at a USDA-inspected facility and then professionally cut, vacuum sealed, and frozen.
Processing timelines vary depending on finishing method and scheduling.
For half and whole shares, the final balance will be calculated once the beef is processed and the final yield weight is determined.
Your deposit will be applied to the total. Payment will be completed prior to delivery or pickup.
Once your beef is ready, Lauren will contact you to arrange delivery or pickup. If you live within in hour of Catheys Valley delivery is free (think of this as the area between Clovis and Modesto). If you're in Southern California, we are able to serve you via drop off locations between Santa Clarita and Irwindale, following the 210 east.
Freezer Information - Plug in freezer at least 24 hours before receiving your beef
