A Quarter Beef Share from RK Cattle Co. is a great way to stock your freezer with high-quality, locally raised beef—without the larger commitment of a half or whole.
On average, a quarter beef costs $1,195 and yields approximately 120–140 pounds of take-home beef. This option provides a solid variety of cuts, including steaks, roasts, and ground beef, making it a practical choice for smaller families or those new to buying in bulk.
Because a quarter beef is typically split from a half, there are more limitations when it comes to selecting cuts. In most cases, you will receive a standard cut sheet or share cutting preferences with the other party. While you may have some input, customization is more limited compared to purchasing a half or whole beef.
A deposit is required to reserve your quarter beef, and that deposit will be applied toward your final total.
Your total investment includes two separate fees:
- One paid to RK Cattle Co. for the animal
- One paid directly to the processor for harvesting and processing services
Both of these fees are already included in the estimated total price, so you can feel confident knowing there are no hidden costs—just clear, upfront pricing.
At RK Cattle Co., we take pride in raising cattle with care and intention. Our goal is to provide beef that’s flavorful, consistent, and something you can trust to feed your family.
