Q: Where do I get the beef?

 

A: The packaged, frozen beef will be available to pick up at our processor, the Bluebonnet Meat Company at 719 S Pearl St, Trenton, TX 75490.

 

 

Q: Why am I buying a "live animal"? 

 

A: In having your own live animal processed you are getting beef in your freezer at the absolute most economical way possible. 

 

 

Q: I'd like to make a purchase, what's the next step? 

 

A: Great! Shoot us a message. We take a deposit to hold your spot, and will send you a final invoice once the live-animal weight is taken at the processor. We accept payments via check or Zelle.

 

 

Q: When is my beef ready for pickup?

 

A: Roughly 10 days after delivery to processor. Bluebonnet will hold your frozen beef for *** days before incuring additional charge.

​​

 

​Q: Are y'all grass-fed?

 

​​A: Our small herd grazes on 130 acres of Bermuda, Fescue, and native grasses until our steers reach about 18 months of age when they are given access to grain for the finishing process. This is the ideal way to bring the most flavor and marbling to the finished product. Our goal is to meet the criteria for USDA PRIME.

​​

 

Q: What type of cuts should I expect with a full, half, or quarter cow?

 

A: Please see the Full, Half, & Quarter Steers section for options here.

​​

​

Q: What type of freezer space will I need?

 

A: We recommend 20 cubic feet for a full cow, 10 for a half, and 5 for a quarter.

 

 

Q: Can I be involved in the cut sheet process?

 

A: Sure! We provide two options and can communicate with the processor on your behalf, but you are welcome to be as involved as you'd like.
