A ¼ beef share is processed as a "split quarter."
Because the front half of a beef side has completely different cuts than the back half, a split quarter ensures you get an equal share of both the premium front quarter cuts and the tender hind-quarter cuts. Giving you a fair mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef from the entire side of the animal.
Here is the typical list of the cuts you will take home in a standard 1/4 beef share: 1. Premium Steaks
These are the high-value, tender cuts everyone looks forward to, packaged two per pack.
Ribeye Steaks: 4 to 6 cuts
T-Bone / Porterhouse Steaks: 4 to 6 cuts
Top Sirloin Steaks: 3 to 4 cuts
Flank or Skirt Steak: 1 cut (depending on how it’s split)
2. Slow-Cooking Roasts
Perfect for crockpots, Dutch ovens, and cold winter nights. These are usually packaged as 2.5 to 3 lb roasts.
Chuck Roasts: 3 to 4 roasts
Arm Roast: 1 roast
Rump Roast or Sirloin Tip Roast: 1 to 2 roasts
3. Everyday Staples & Convenience Cuts
The workhorses of the freezer for easy weeknight meals.
Premium Ground Beef: 30 to 45 lbs
Stew Meat: 3 to 4 packs (approx. 1 lb each)
Short Ribs: 1 to 2 packs
