What Comes in a Quarter Beef? (Farmstead Favorites Cut List)
What You Get in a Quarter Beef (Farmstead Favorites)
Buying a quarter beef shouldn’t feel confusing — but for a lot of families, it does.
Not because it’s complicated… but because no one really explains it in a way that makes sense for your actual kitchen and your actual life.
That’s exactly why we built our Farmstead Favorites cut list — and honestly? It’s one of my favorite things about ordering a quarter beef from us.
No Phone Calls. No Decisions. No Guesswork.
When you order a quarter beef from Benoit Family Farmstead, we handle everything. Your beef is processed using our set cut list — no calls to the locker, no decisions to stress over, no wondering if you chose wrong.
What you get is a balanced, well-rounded mix that actually works for the way families eat:
Steaks for weekend grilling and special nights
Roasts for slow cooker meals that basically cook themselves
Ground beef for the everyday dinners your family already loves
Pre-cut meat for quick meals like stir fry, beef and noodles or kabobs on the grill
Simple. Intentional. Designed for your freezer and your dinner table.
Why We Switched to Farmstead Favorites
We used to send beef out with a standard “butcher’s choice” cut list — which sounds fine until you open your freezer and find cuts you’ve never cooked before and aren’t sure you ever will.
We listened to our customers, looked at what families actually use, and built something better. Farmstead Favorites is the cut list we wish existed when we started — practical, versatile, and full of cuts you’ll actually reach for.
A Quick Note on Quantities
Every animal is a little different, so your exact cuts may vary slightly — but the list below gives you a close picture of what to expect. No surprises, just beef.
So How Long Will It Last?
A quarter beef goes further than most people expect. Here’s a general idea based on how much beef your family goes through each week:
~1–1.5 lbs per week — you’re looking at 18 months to 2 years
~2–2.5 lbs per week — it’ll carry you through a full year
~4–5 lbs per week — you’re covered for about 6 months
And honestly? It’s not unusual for smaller households or lighter beef eaters to buy once and not need to reorder for a year and a half to two years. That’s not a bad thing — that’s the whole point of stocking a freezer.
Use it at your own pace. Beef stores incredibly well in the freezer — and once you see how far it goes, you might be surprised how much peace of mind comes with a full freezer.
Ready to Stock Your Freezer?
