FAQ

Your Beef Questions, Answered

family and horses

  • A cow share is when you purchase a quarter, half, or whole cow at a bulk discount. To learn more about our cow shares, visit the cow share page.

  • Processing of our beef is done at local USDA inspected and approved plants. Post-slaughter, the beef is dry aged for just under two weeks, which enhances its tenderness and flavor. Since it takes us almost 2 full years to raise an animal to slaughter (the average age for slaughter is under 20 months), be sure to take the opportunity to purchase our beef when the ideal time arrives.

  • The primary diet of Cottonwood Ranch cattle is the natural grasses found in the pasture, which are then supplemented with beer mash from local breweries. Beer mash is a by-product of beer production, and makes a perfect addition to healthy cattle’s diet as it retains a high concentration of protein. The mash provides healthy enzymes from the hops, barley, and wheat, which also adds flavor and marbling to the beef.

  • YES! With a $350 purchase you will receive free delivery to your home. If you rather, farm pickup is always available upon request for any size order!

  • For retail orders, you pay via credit card on our website in advance of your delivery. For cow share orders, you'll pay a flat-rate deposit up front based on beef size, and the remaining balance at delivery.

  • Our beef is priced by hanging weight, with a 1/4 beef (180-220 lbs) costing $900-$1,100, 1/2 beef (360-440 lbs) costing $1,700-$2,100, and whole beef (720-880 lbs) costing $3,300-$4,000. Your final take-home weight will be approximately 60% of the hanging weight, custom cut to your specifications. All cutting, packaging, and delivery are included in the price!
