Barley Finished Half Beef Share

Stock up your freezer with our premium barley-finished beef, raised the way nature intended. Our cattle are all-natural, with no hormones or antibiotics ever, and spend their lives out on open range—not in feedlots. They are finished on grass paddocks and are offered barley pellets twice per day, supporting both animal health and soil regeneration.

Our barley pellets are made from the byproducts of pearled barley (the parts people don’t consume) and are locally sourced from farmers here on the Palouse.

Pricing:
The total cost for a whole beef share typically ranges from $2,718.75–$3,081.25.

• Price is based on $7.25 per pound of hanging (carcass) weight
• Our animals generally average 375–425 pounds hanging weight
• Hanging weight is an estimate, so final cost may vary slightly
• Final price includes all butcher and processing fees

Estimated Take-Home Amount & Cost:

• Customers typically receive approximately 60–65% of the hanging weight as packaged beef
• This equals about 225–276 pounds of take-home meat
• Your estimated final cost per pound (take-home weight) is approximately $13.00/lb depending on final yield and cut choices

Freezer Space Requirements:

• A whole beef generally requires about 16–20 cubic feet of freezer space
• For reference, this is roughly the size of a large chest freezer

How It Compares to Grocery Store Beef:

• You receive a wide variety of premium cuts (steaks, roasts, and ground beef) at one average price
• Many individual cuts—especially steaks—would typically cost significantly more per pound at the grocery store
• Plus, you’re getting locally raised, barley finished beef, with full transparency on how your food is produced

What’s Included:

• All butcher and processing fees
• Professionally cut, wrapped, and labeled beef
• Dry aged, USDA inspected
