what half a cow costs in Oregon
these are the all-in prices published by the ranch currently live in Oregon — not a national average. the deposit page shows your exact total before you pay — no surprise add-ons after that.
the honest part: roughly 40–50% of a half beef arrives as ground and stew meat — a year of real dinners, not a box of ribeyes. plan on ~8–10 cubic feet of freezer space for a half.

Oregon half-beef questions, answered straight
How much does half a cow cost in Oregon?
At the ranches serving Oregon today, a half-beef share runs $1,420 all-in (animal + processing) — the exact figure depends on the ranch and the animal's hanging weight. Boxed-delivery services work out to roughly $13–$17 per pound for comparable cuts. A quarter share runs $740, a whole $2,740.
How much freezer space do I need?
Plan on roughly 8–10 cubic feet for a half beef — a dedicated chest freezer. A $200–$300 chest freezer typically pays for itself in the first fill. A quarter share fits in about 4–5 cubic feet.
How does the deposit work?
You reserve your share with a deposit rather than the full price up front. It is fully refundable until the rancher accepts your reservation, and the balance is due at final weight. Your exact deposit total is shown before you pay.
