OUR BEEF QUALITY

At TCC, our premium all natural beef is grass-fed and grain-finished.

For 85% of the life of our beef, they graze feed in the Owyhee Mountains and our ranches in southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon.  The cows and calves head up the mountains in March and then in October and November of each year, we are moving them back down the mountains to our homeplace in Oreana, ID. 

For the last 120-150 days of their life, our cattle are fed a ration of grass and alfalfa, with a side of corn, all grown locally in our local valley. Finishing with grain provides superior marbling, tenderness and rich taste in TCC all natural beef.

Typically, our beef grades prime or choice, the top two grades of beef available that you would receive in a nice restaurant. We deliver that same quality beef directly to you; at a lower price than the cost you’d pay in a nice restaurant.

GETTING MY SHARE

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CUTS

We want the package count and cuts to work for you and your family. You can choose how many steaks per package, how thick, etc.

If you choose ¼ beef share, it is a standard set of cuts so that we can split 1/2 beef evenly between two customers. If you order ½ or a whole beef share, you get to choose your cuts and talk with us directly about what you want.

All shares include ground beef, roasts, premium steaks, mid-level steaks and an assortment of limited cuts like tri tip or flank steak. If there are cuts you do not prefer, you can choose to have them turned into ground beef.

PICKUP, DELIVERY & SHIPPING

We offer free pickup for our beef share customers at the Meridian Park and Ride (3047 W Overland Rd, Meridian, ID). Pickup is from 4-6 pm on a designated Wednesday of your beef share month.

Additionally, if you live local in the Treasure Valley, ID area we can deliver your share for $100.

Whole & half beef shares cannot be shipped.

Quarter beef shares can only be shipped in Idaho. 

A custom quote for materials and overnight shipping will be provided. Beef shares do not qualify for our standard shipping rates. 

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST

PRICING

The cost of our beef shares is based on the hanging weight of the animal. 

The hanging weight is the weight of the beef after it has been killed, the blood drained, its head, hide, feet entrails and organs have been removed. 

The approximate hanging weight of a whole animal is 800 lbs., a half 400lbs. and a 1/4 share is 200 lbs.

As a convenience to our customers, TCC covers all processing charges, which means you only have to pay once to TCC.

PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

We're happy to set up payments arrangements that work for you. Many customers prefer to pay in a lump sum just before pickup, but we also have many customers that pay $150 - $250 each pay period, so they reduce the larger balance due at the end.

The $250 or $500 deposit is applied to the total due. 

Email us at service@thomascattlecompany.com or place your deposit order and add notes that you'd like to setup a payment plan and we will reach out to you.

PACKAGING & BOX FEE

Due to rising packaging and supply costs as a small business, a box/packaging fee now applies to beef share orders:

  • 1/4 Share: $20
  • 1/2 Share: $40
  • Whole Share: $60

To avoid this fee, customers may bring their own coolers, totes, reusable bins, or boxes for pickup. If you bring your own containers, we will take our boxes back onsite.

If we do not receive confirmation that you will bring your own containers, the box fee will be added to your final invoice.

WHAT CUTS OF MEAT WILL I GET IF I ORDER A BEEF SHARE?

That’s up to you! We want the package count and cuts to work for you and your family. You can choose how many steaks per package, how thick, etc.

If you choose ¼ beef share, it is a standard set of cuts so that we can split 1/2 beef evenly between two customers. If you order ½ or a whole beef share, you get to choose your cuts and talk with us directly about what you want.

All shares include ground beef, roasts, premium steaks, mid-level steaks and an assortment of limited cuts like tri tip or flank steak. If there are cuts you do not prefer, you can choose to have them turned into ground beef.

With the ½ or whole beef share, you can choose a bone-in cut sheet or a boneless cut sheet (bone-in is standard). This will impact what steaks you get. For example, if you choose the boneless cut sheet, you would get Filet Mignon and New York Steaks, whereas if you chose the bone-in cut sheet, you would get T-Bone steaks. 

Please note, cut sheets are due 2 1/2 weeks before your beef share pickup date. This allows us to reach out with any questions we have for you and gives the butcher time to cut, wrap and fully freeze your beef share before your pickup date. If we cannot get ahold of you or you do not return the cut sheet to us before that 2 1/2 weeks we will receive standard cuts for your beef share.
