Things to note when purchasing a beef share
Expect the meat to take up a significant amount of space in your freezer. You may need several cubic feet of freezer space to accommodate a quarter of a beef, especially if it's packaged in bulk.
Your cut are customized to your liking. For example, you might request thicker or thinner steaks, specific cuts for roasts, or keep the bones for your K-9 companions or for making broth.
The type of cuts that you select will not affect the amount of meat you get. You may get more ground beef than someone who decides to keep all of their roast options.
Purchasing a beef share for your freezer can be a convenient and cost-effective way to get high-quality meat in bulk, especially if you enjoy a variety of cuts and are looking to save money in the long run.
