Buy a Whole Cow — Heritage Grass-Finished Beef from Grassmere Farm

Bring home a full supply of flavorful, pasture-raised beef with our whole-cow option. We raise heritage beef breeds on open pasture, without antibiotics or added hormones, focusing on humane handling and natural forage to produce meat with rich flavor and consistent quality. Buying a whole cow is a cost-effective choice for households, multi-family orders, or anyone who prefers to stock their freezer with trusted, locally raised beef.

What you get

  • Approximately 400–500 pounds of vacuum-sealed beef per whole cow (hanging weight varies; final packaged weight depends on individual animal and butchering choices). Exact yield will be confirmed after harvest.

  • Every cut from the cow including steaks (ribeye, strip, T-bone/porterhouse, sirloin), roasts (chuck, brisket, round), stew meat, ground beef, and soup bones.

  • Custom cutting and packaging to your specifications (steak thickness, roast sizes, number of packages) included.

  • Vacuum-sealed packages labeled with cut type and weight for easy storage and thawing.

Why buy a whole cow

  • Cost savings: per-pound price is lower than buying retail cuts.

  • Control: choose trim levels and portion sizes to suit your family’s eating and cooking habits.

  • Consistency: all beef comes from a single animal raised to our standards for pasture health and animal welfare.

  • Convenience: a long-term freezer supply of portioned, ready-to-cook meat.

Pricing and process

  • Deposit required to reserve the animal; remaining balance due at pickup/delivery or upon confirmation of final weights.

  • Final price is based on hanging weight (per pound) less your deposit

  • We coordinate harvest at a USDA-inspected facility, then handle cutting, wrapping, and delivery or pickup.

  • Typical turnaround from harvest to available pickup/delivery: 2–3 weeks.

Ordering and customization

  • Choose preferred cuts, steak thickness, ground beef grind (lean percentage), and packaging sizes when you place your order or before processing.

  • We offer basic guidance on portioning for families, shared orders, or long-term storage.

  • Delivery available locally or pickup from the farm; scheduling arranged after processing is complete.

Sourcing and stewardship

  • Heritage breeds raised on pasture with rotational grazing and forage-focused diets.

  • No antibiotics or added growth hormones. Humane handling and low-stress practices on-farm and during transport.

  • Small-scale, local production supporting sustainable land management and food traceability.

After your deposit

We will contact you to discuss expected hanging weight, choose your cutting specifications, and set delivery/pickup details. We’ll walk you through the timeline and final cost estimates once the animal’s hanging weight is recorded.
