Quarter Beef Share Deposit

Fill Your Freezer with a ¼ Beef Share from TCC

Fill your family’s freezer with premium, all-natural, ranch-raised Idaho beef from Thomas Cattle Company.

Buying a ¼ beef share is a great way to stock your freezer with high-quality beef while still buying in bulk at an excellent value.

A quarter share is ideal for families who want:

• A bulk-buy option without committing to a half or whole
• A freezer stocked with trusted, ranch-raised beef
• An easy, straightforward beef share experience

How It Works

A $250 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your ¼ beef share.
The remaining balance can be paid through a payment plan that works for you or in one final lump sum prior to pickup.

With a ¼ beef share:

• A standard set of cuts is selected for you
• A half beef is split evenly between two customers
• Cut customization is not available on quarter shares

Pricing & Processing Details

All cut and wrap charges are included in your price per pound.

Your total cost is calculated as:

Hanging weight × price per pound + Idaho sales tax

• ¼ beef: $7.25/lb. (hanging weight)
• Processor: Sustainable Meats, Kuna, ID
• Packaging: Clear vacuum seal for maximum freshness

Vacuum-sealed beef provides superior freezer protection and allows for a 1–2-year freezer life, making it easy to pull individual cuts as needed.

Packaging & Box Fee Notice

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 to Expect for Yield

Based on our most recent harvest:

• Average quarter beef hanging weight: 200–300 lbs.
• Take-home beef yield: ~55–57% of hanging weight
  (Example: ~120 lbs. of beef from a 212.5 lb. hanging weight)

Weights will vary, as we finish each animal to meet our high standards for quality and consistency.
