"Who would have thought that trying to find fresh steaks or hamburger meat at the local grocery store would be so difficult? It may have you wondering if you are better off purchasing all or part of a cow from a beef farm."
"A cow can produce a large amount of meat, but it will only be a percentage of its weight before slaughter."
"Beef sharing is the process of purchasing either a whole cow or a fraction of a cow that has been raised specifically to be butchered and processed for meat."
"A significant part of an animal’s weight comes from the weight of its bones, fat and hide, not just meat."
"When you purchase half a cow, as opposed to a whole one, you will get similar cuts of meat, unless you request otherwise."
