Everything you need to know about buying a quarter cow - from what's included to how much meat you'll get, storage requirements, and why it's the perfect option for small families and couples.
A quarter cow is exactly what it sounds like - one-fourth of a whole cow. When you buy a quarter cow, you're purchasing a portion of a beef animal that has been raised, processed, and packaged specifically for your freezer.
This is different from buying individual cuts at the grocery store. With a quarter cow, you get a complete variety of cuts - steaks, roasts, ground beef, and specialty cuts - all from the same animal, processed to your specifications.
A quarter cow typically yields 100-125 lbs of hanging weight, which results in approximately 65-70 lbs of packaged meat for your freezer.
The difference between hanging weight and packaged weight is due to:
