Important Note: To cut down on costs and save you money:

• Generic labels will be used.
• Wholes, halves, and quarters are the standard 18-month lifespan, 14-day dry aging, not the 30-month, 21-day dry aging of all the other beef options on our website.
• Most beef shares are high-choice or prime but we do not guarantee these grades.
• Weight and number of cuts are averaged; not exact
• Some cuts might lose their vacuum seal in the freezer over time, depending on the temperature and humidity (it doesn't make the meat unsafe). But if you don't eat these cuts, leaving them in the freezer for months, they might get freezer burn.
• Ice crystal formation is normal and should be expected, especially on bigger cuts.
