When it comes to purchasing beef, there are various options available to consumers. One popular choice is investing in beef shares, which allow individuals to buy a portion of a cow directly from our ranch. This not only supports local farmers but also provides high-quality, fresh beef. In this blog post, we will delve into the details of 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 beef shares, focusing on dry-aged, ranch-raised beef with 2 choices of 100% grass-fed and grain-finished beef.
What are 1/8, 1/4 & 1/2 Beef Shares?
Beef shares refer to the practice of purchasing a portion of a cow directly from the rancher. The shares are typically divided into fractions such as 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 of a cow. This allows consumers to enjoy a variety of cuts, like ground beef, steaks & roasts, at a more affordable price compared to buying individual cuts from the store.
Benefits of Dry-Aged, Ranch-Raised Beef
Dry-aging beef is a process that enhances the flavor and tenderness of the meat. By allowing the beef to age in a controlled environment, enzymes break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Additionally, ranch-raised beef ensures that the animals are raised in a humane and sustainable manner, with a focus on quality and care.
2 Choices of 100% Grass-Fed & Grain-Finished Beef
When it comes to beef shares, our customers have the option to choose between 100% grass-fed or grain-finished beef. Grass-fed beef is known for its leaner profile, while grain-finished beef tends to have a richer flavor and marbling. Both options offer health benefits, allowing Hilltop customers to select the type of beef that best suits their preferences.
Overall, investing in 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 beef shares provides a convenient and cost-effective way to enjoy high-quality ranch raised beef while supporting local ranchers. We love our customers & want to help you find a beef share option to meet your families needs.
