Welcome

1/2 cow is 1 side of beef.

If you wish to reserve the entire cow you do need to reserve each 1/2.

You may split 1/2 cow with someone else for a 1/4 portion, But one person will reserve the side of beef and Johnston's will divide the cuts up between the two individuals as evenly as possible.

Pay $100.00 deposit per side.

We will assign you 1/2 of a cow and reserve that for you. We will keep you informed as the process moves forward.

Your balance is due when your beef is delivered to the processor. Once we get word what the hanging weight is on the steer the customer needs to pay us $6.00 per lb for their portion.  You must pay us in a timely manner so we can continue to bring you excellent grass-fed beef.  The weight of ½ of a cow varies some, but we see averages between 165lbs to 190lbs depending on the cow.  That would be $990.00 to $1140.00.

Your cow will be taken to Johnston's Meat Market in Monticello Florida for processing.
