About our cattle:

At Glynwood, we raise a mix of Lowline Black Angus, Hereford, and Dexter cattle. Our cattle program is 100% grass-fed and finished and Animal Welfare Approved. From May to November, we intensively manage our herd in a rotational grazing system across our pastures. This allows the animals to have access to the best quality grasses while fertilizing our fields with manure and providing an adequate rest period for plant regrowth. During the winter months, the herd is brought into the barn, where they are fed hay and have access to the outdoor barnyard at all.

Why buy bulk?

There are countless advantages to purchasing a whole cow. This is the most cost-effective way to buy an abundance of quality, pastured beef, saving you around 20% off of our retail prices. When buying in bulk, you can stock up on a variety of nose-to-tail cuts, keeping cooking interesting and minimizing waste in the meat supply chain. Lastly, by choosing to eat in this way, you are directly supporting our farm as we head into the next growing season. 

How does it work?

After placing your order, we will follow up with a step-by-step cut sheet, allowing you to make decisions about what meat you'll receive.

One whole cow contains around 450 lbs of our Animal-Welfare-Approved beef. This measure will vary depending on how you choose to custom-cut the cow. When you purchase a custom-cut cow, you will be paying for the hanging carcass weight (HCW), which represents the weight of the animal after it is slaughtered and unusable parts are removed. The hanging carcass weight for a whole cow is approximately 600 lbs and our rate is $7/lb HCW. 

A $200 upfront deposit is required at the time of your order, which will be deducted from your order's total at the time of pickup. Final billing will be based on $7/lb hanging carcass weight. We cover butchery and processing fees.

What is included?

A standard custom-cut cow will contain an assortment of steaks, ground beef, roasts, short ribs, brisket, bones, offal and more.

How do I store this meat?

Purchasing a quarter cow means you'll be taking home a lot of meat. You might want to purchase a designated chest freezer to hold your food comfortably. These freezers can often be purchased second-hand, for a fair price.
