Beef Myth #3- Buying Bulk Beef is Confusing

Beef Myth #3- Buying Bulk Beef is Confusing

          Many people avoid farm beef because they think ordering a “quarter cow” or “half cow” is complicated.         That’s a myth. In reality, it’s simpler—and far more convenient—than weekly grocery shopping. One order fills your freezer with months of meals.

Myth: Buying a quarter or half cow is confusing

        It sounds overwhelming—what cuts will I get? How much space do I need? Will my family even know what to do with it all?

Truth: Bulk Beef is Straightforward

• Clear quantities: A quarter beef typically yields 130–145 lbs of finished beef, while a half cow is about 260–275 lbs. • Variety of cuts: Steaks, roasts, ground beef, and more—all included. • Freezer space: A quarter cow requires just 4–6 cubic feet of freezer space (about a small chest freezer). • Portion control: Cuts are vacuum-sealed, labeled, and ready to cook—no mystery packages.

What Makes Boschma Beef Different

• Custom cut sheets: We take the guess work out of what cuts to choose and how thick to make each cut by working closely with top butchers to provide you with quality always. No need to stress over steak thickness, roast sizes, and grind preferences.

• Dry-aged premium: Every cut is dry-aged 14–21 days for tenderness and flavor. 

• Labeled and ready: Each package is sealed, labeled, and portioned for family use. • Balanced mix: From ribeyes to ground beef, every order is a well-rounded selection.

Nutrition & Flavor You Can Taste

• Dry-aged quality: Unlike week-to-week grocery beef, every single cut is premium and aged for flavor.

• Long-term freshness: USDA confirms frozen, vacuum-sealed beef retains nutrients and taste for up to 12 months. 

• Everyday convenience: Families love having a freezer full of ready-to-cook, healthy protein.


         We know grocery shopping feels simpler because it’s familiar. But for families who value convenience, security, and quality, a freezer full of beef is the ultimate simplicity. One order, months of meals, no guesswork.
