Wells Freezer Beef cattle have been pasture-raised from birth, but are finished out on a blend of grass, hay, and an organic grain. The target weight of these animals are around 1200 pounds. This will provide an average hanging weight of around 750 pounds of meat and bone, and yielding right around 450 pounds of packaged beef. We like for our Half Cow to provide an average of 215 pounds of packaged meat, and the Quarter Cow an average of 115 pounds. These numbers vary, and we only charge for the weights of the animal you reserve. The best way to explain the cost of beef is, if you shop at a local grocery store and buy each of these cuts of meat on this cut list, your average cost per pound will be around $10.50 per pound. If you price our final package price it will be less than grocery store prices, but with that Wells Cattle Co. quality that you know and trust.

Wells charges $5 per pound of Hanging Weight, plus processing fees. (Hanging Weight is the certified weight of the beef once in the cooler and ready to begin the aging process.)
