Black Angus herd grazing on Iowa pasture
Whole beef · reserve yours

A whole animal.
For the long haul.

Roughly 500–570 lbs of premium take-home beef. Enough to feed a family of four for a year, with room for neighbors and holidays. Custom-trimmed the way you ask for it.

By the numbers

Transparent pricing.
No surprises at pickup.

A 60% holding fee locks your share; the balance settles in two equal payments — or spread the whole thing out with Klarna or Afterpay. Your final invoice reflects actual hanging weight × price per pound. Processing at Maxwell Custom Beef is included — no second bill from the locker.

What's included

Every cut. Nothing held back.

Steaks

Ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, tenderloin, T-bone/porterhouse, flank, skirt. You pick the thickness (typically 3/4"–1.25").

Roasts

Chuck, rump, sirloin tip, brisket. You set the size (2–5 lb is typical). Round roasts or steaks — your call.

Ground beef

Whatever doesn't go to steak or roast gets ground. 80/20 by default — leaner or fattier on request. 1-lb packages standard.

Short ribs & stew

Short ribs, stew meat, shank. Perfect for winter braises.

Soup bones

Marrow bones and knuckle bones. Optional but free if you want them — just note on the cut sheet.

Organ meats & tallow

Liver, heart, tongue, kidneys, oxtail, suet for tallow rendering. All optional — you say what you want.
