A Long Road Ranch whole steer works out to roughly style="position:relative;z-index:1"5/lb; an eighth share is roughly $20/lb.
Every share includes steaks, ground, roasts, brisket, tallow and soup bones — processing, dry-aging and vacuum-sealing included. No hidden per-pound processing fees.
No. SteerShare is a one-time purchase of a share of one specific steer. You claim your share, pay once, and receive your beef on that steer's scheduled pickup or delivery day. Nothing recurs.
Open steers are listed first-come, first-served. Choose a steer, pick your share size (eighth, quarter, half, or whole), and complete checkout. Your units are held while you check out. Once all eight units of a steer are claimed, that steer closes.
An eighth share is roughly 45–55 lbs of finished beef, a quarter is 90–110 lbs, a half is 180–220 lbs, and a whole steer is 360–440 lbs. Exact weights depend on the individual animal and your cut sheet choices.
Yes. After you claim a share, we contact you to build a custom cut sheet with our butcher. You choose steak thickness, roast sizes, ground ratio, and specialty cuts. If you're new to this, you can simply say 'butcher's choice' and we'll handle it.
Pickup or delivery is tied to your steer's harvest date. After you claim, we collect your cut sheet, schedule harvest week, then dry-age, cut, vacuum-seal, and coordinate your pickup or hand-delivery day.
Rule of thumb: about 1 cubic foot per 30–35 lbs of finished beef. Eighth ~1.5–2 cu ft (fits a fridge freezer), Quarter ~3–4 cu ft (small chest freezer), Half ~6–7 cu ft (7 cu ft chest freezer), Whole Steer ~12–14 cu ft (large chest freezer). These are estimates.
