Our grass-fed and finished whole beef is $.50/lb (preorder price) and your estimated final price is between $4000-$5000 (dependent on size of cow) plus butcher costs. Your final price is determined by the hanging weight of the cow. Once the cow has been processed and weighed, you will receive an email with a link to pay for the final charge.
While the weight varies by animal, over the last number of years The average hanging weight has been 450-600 pounds, but this is different from animal to animal - the hanging weight can vary as much as 200 or more pounds.
If beef is for dinner at your house, then this is for you! Many of our customers select a whole beef every year, whether it's all for them, as we do in our family, or they are splitting it with another family, the whole beef is your very best value. It gives you complete control over what you want in your beef package. Like our half beef, you get custom cutting automatically included with your beef package. And just like with the half beef we work with you hand in hand to help you decide what cuts you want and how you want them packaged.

What’s a Hanging Pound?
*Hanging weight refers to the weight of the carcass before it is trimmed down to the individual cuts you receive. This process results in receiving less meat than the hanging weight.
Our prices are based on "hanging" pounds. Hanging weight is about 50 – 60% of the weight of "live weight" (also called "on the hoof"). Finished weight is about 55-60% of hanging weight, depending on your custom cut instructions - like whether you cut bone-in or not, for example. At Winters Cattle Ranch, you are only charged for the hanging weight of your whole cow.

Good to know
Questions we get asked
If yours isn't here, call the ranch. We'd rather talk it through than have you guess.
Read all FAQsHow is it packaged?
Each cut is individually wrapped, except steaks, which generally come two to a pack. Every package carries the USDA inspection mark and the Colorado Proud badge.
Are your cattle grass-fed?
We run two programs, and we label which is which. Grass-fed and grass-finished cattle are on grass their whole lives. Grain-finished cattle are pasture-raised, then finished on grain for 60 to 90 days.
Check this product's title and description. We don't use one label to cover everything.
Do you use hormones or antibiotics?
No. No added hormones, no antibiotics, no GMOs. We don't spray our pasture with pesticides or chemicals.
How do I get my order?
Three ways, all free. Pick up at the ranch in Rush, meet us at a drop point in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Falcon, Peyton, Calhan, Fountain, Castle Rock or Monument, or take free home delivery on side orders.
When do I need to order by?
6:00 PM MST the day before your pickup.
Is your meat USDA inspected?
Yes. Our meat is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, EST. 1686.
What Colorado families say
5 out of 5 stars
We split a half with my sister. The invoice matched what they told us on the phone, to the dollar.
Sarah M., Colorado Springs
5 out of 5 stars
They walked me through the cut sheet twice. First time I've ever understood what I was ordering.
Daniel R., Pueblo
5 out of 5 stars
A quarter filled half our chest freezer, exactly like the chart said. The ground beef is a different thing entirely.
