What We Sell

We sell frozen, vacuum-sealed, all natural, grass-finished beef by the pound all year round. Our beef is processed locally where it is dry aged for 10-14 days then professionally wrapped, vacuum-sealed, and flash frozen to make sure it stays fresh in your freezer. You can purchase Oxbow beef by the cut or in bulk, from 1/8th to a whole cow as well as burger boxes. To learn more about the cuts we sell, check out the “About Our Cuts” page.

Buying Bulk Beef

Oxbow Beef Pricing:

At Oxbow, we take the confusion out of buying bulk beef, we sell by finished cut weight – the actual pounds of beef that will go into each customer’s freezer. There are no hidden or additional fees. All you will pay is the per-pound price of beef that you take home.

The one unknown that we cannot navigate until your beef is processed is what the final weight of your order will be. This is because our animals are individuals, and therefore they are different sizes.  Another factor in determining the weight of beef is the time of year we harvest the animal.  As the summer progresses, our cows continue to grow and put on weight.  The highest quality animals with the best marbling will be harvested in late summer and early fall, but will also weigh more due to being older and larger. To help you with figuring out what your bulk beef order may cost, we give a range of weights and costs it will fall within, as well as the average weight and cost of recent orders.  As always if you have any questions please contact us.

Also, when looking at the per-pound price of Oxbow beef remember this includes ALL cuts of beef.  Buying in bulk, you pay the same low per-pound price for tenderloin and rib-eye steaks as you do burger.  Prices for these prime cuts in the grocery store can run from $17.00 to $32.00/lb for all natural, grass-finished beef like ours.

Receiving Oxbow Beef:

Once your order is placed, it takes approximately one month before you receive your Oxbow beef. We will notify you when your beef is ready, and you can pick it up right here at the f2m store on the ranch.
