Can I buy a half or quarter cow?

We do offer bulk beef options for a quarter (70 lbs) and 1/8th cow (35 lbs). We also have smaller options like our Best Butcher Box (14 pounds) that include a variety of beef products. With this, we're able to warehouse large quantities of these bundles, meaning there's virtually no waiting period for your order/cow to be freighted to and from the processor.

This also eliminates the need for customers to pay by the hanging weight, as the bundles guarantee the pounds of product included.

The only disadvantage to this method is the ability for customers to customize the cuts included in their bundle, as the product has already been pre-assembled. When we offered a custom option in the past, we found that 90% of our customers chose our "recommended cuts" anyhow, so the decision to simplify was clear for us.

Whole vs Half vs Quarter Cow: Which Grass-Fed Beef Share Is Right for You?

Choosing between a whole, half, or quarter cow can feel overwhelming. This guide compares grass-fed beef shares side-by-side, including cost per pound positioning, freezer space requirements, and ideal household size.

Why Winter Is the Best Time to Buy Bulk Grass-Fed Beef

Winter is the smartest time to buy bulk grass-fed beef if you want price stability and long-term freezer planning. Seasonal cattle cycles, rising spring demand, and grocery price volatility often push beef prices higher later in the year. By securing a quarter, half, or whole cow share during winter, families can lock in 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef—raised without GMOs, added hormones, or antibiotics—and stabilize their protein costs for months. In this guide, we explain why winter bulk buying makes financial sense, how nationwide frozen delivery works, and how to shop the Ferguson Farms Winter Beef Sale.
