Is it better to buy bulk beef or retail cuts of beef?

Purchasing bulk quantity beef versus retail beef cuts each has pros and cons. You have to decide which is best suited for your lifestyle. When buying bulk beef, you must plan ahead. Be prepared for a larger investment up front. Costs for bulk beef will include the cost of the beef itself plus any locker fees. While it costs more up front for bulk beef, it is actually cheaper overall in comparison to grocery retail prices. It is important to determine how much beef your household plans to consume. This varies based on the number of individuals (and their appetites!) that will be consuming the beef as well as the frequency that beef is consumed in your household. Another factor to consider is the amount of available freezer space that you have. You must ensure that you have enough space to store your beef, which will be frozen at the locker. For example, a quarter cow needs roughly 4 cu ft of freezer space. A whole cow can fit into a 16 cu ft freezer space. For anyone who falls into the group of consumers that can manage all of these factors, Bulk Beef is for you! Contact us to reserve yours today!


That all sounds great, right? So why doesn't everyone buy their beef in bulk? Not everyone wants to make a large monetary investment. Not everyone has adequate freezer space available. Not everyone consumes enough beef to justify buying in bulk. And not everyone can take the time to plan ahead! For those who fall into this group, Retail Beef is for you! Retail customers will still be able to get our top quality beef cuts at their convenience without the stress of the amount of preparation that goes in to bulk quantity purchasing.
