Half Beef Share — Flying B Beef

A Half Beef Share is perfect for families who want to fill their freezer with high-quality, locally raised beef while having the opportunity to customize many of the cuts they receive.

Our grain-finished cattle spend their entire lives grazing the sunny foothills of Central California. During the final 130 days before processing, they are supplemented with grain to increase marbling and create the smooth, rich flavor many people associate with a classic steakhouse experience.

With a half share, you will receive approximately 200-350 pounds of beef, depending on the final yield of the animal. 

Your order will include your tailored mix of premium cuts such as steaks, roasts, and ground beef, along with other versatile cuts for everyday meals.

How It Works

Reserve Your Share

A $500 deposit reserves your half beef share and is applied toward your final total.

Processing Timeline

Processing and pickup typically occur approximately 150 days from the time your deposit is placed.

Final Payment

The remaining balance will be due at the time of processing and is calculated by multiplying the final pounds of beef yielded by $12.50 per pound, minus your original deposit.

Freezer Space Needed

A half beef share typically requires 8–12 cubic feet of freezer space.

How Long Will It Last?

For many families, a half beef share provides a significant portion of their yearly beef supply.

Approximately 120–140 meals for a family of four.

If your family eats beef:

• 5 times per week, a half share will typically last 6–7 months

• 3 times per week, a half share will typically last 10–11 months

The Bulk Share Experience

When you purchase a half beef share, you will receive a cut sheet prior to processing. This allows you to choose many of the cuts you prefer, including options like steak thickness, roast sizes, and ground beef packaging.

Once processing is complete, Lauren will contact you to coordinate local delivery or pickup.
