Beef Share Deposit — 50%

$840.00 50% deposit

Reserve a quarter, half or whole grass-fed beef with a 50% deposit. The balance is invoiced on the actual hanging weight.

A beef share is the least expensive way to fill a freezer with pasture-raised beef, and you choose how it is cut. Choose 100% grass-fed or certified organic grass-fed, then the size. No two animals weigh the same, so you pay a 50% deposit now and the balance when the actual hanging weight comes back from the butcher, the same way the ranch bills us.

Details

  • Rear quarter: the steak end; New York, ribeye, filet, sirloin, round roasts, some ground
  • Front quarter: chuck, brisket, short ribs, roasts, more ground
  • Half: one of each
  • Whole: everything

We walk you through the cut sheet before anything goes to the butcher. Roughly a two-week turnaround. Clear freezer space first: a quarter needs about 2 cubic feet, a half about 4, a whole about 8. Pickup at 429 McHenry Ave, Modesto, or local delivery within 5 miles. We do not ship frozen meat.

Marin Sun Farms, founded by rancher David Evans in Point Reyes in 1999, raises and sources pasture-raised, grass-fed animals from California family farms and runs the Bay Area's last USDA-inspected slaughterhouse. No antibiotics, no hormones, Animal Welfare Approved.

Program
Size

How it’s cut: to our standard butcher’s sheet — the everyday mix of steaks, roasts, stew and ground beef most families want, everything vacuum-sealed, frozen and labeled. Exact packaging varies a little from run to run. Anything the butcher should know, put in the notes below — we’ll confirm it with you by phone before your share goes to the ranch.

You are paying a 50% deposit now. The balance is figured on your share’s actual hanging weight and is due at pickup. Offal — liver, heart, kidney, tongue — is removed at the plant and is not part of your share.
