    Common Questions

    Everything families ask before buying 1/8 beef

    "I've never bought bulk beef before"

    That's exactly why the 1/8 exists! It's the perfect intro. Manageable size, fits a standard freezer, and we walk you through every step. No experience needed.

    "Will it fit in my freezer?"

    Yes! A 1/8 beef fits in a standard chest freezer or even a large kitchen freezer. We're talking about ~50 lbs, roughly the size of 2-3 grocery bags.

    "$600 upfront feels like a lot"

    Break it down: that's about $12 per pound for premium steaks, roasts, and ground beef. Compare that to $15-28/lb at the grocery store for the same cuts. You save from day one.
