BHC Promise
Your deposit reserves your slot. It’s fully refundable until your rancher accepts it (usually within 24–48 hours). Once they commit your processing slot, it becomes non-refundable. Cold-chain guarantee and BHC mediation apply either way.
- Refundable window: change your mind before your rancher accepts? Full refund.
- Non-refundable once accepted: after they commit your slot, they’ve set aside cuts of meat and locked in processing. You’ll get a “slot locked” email the moment that happens.
- Cold-chain guarantee: if your beef arrives thawed or short, BHC makes you whole — even after acceptance.
- We mediate: any dispute, reply to your match thread or email hello@buyhalfcow.com and we step in.
About
Meet Eli
We are the Melton and Mullinax family, hence the name 2M Cattle. The Melton family consists of Eli and Ashley, and our five wonderful boys, Daxon, Beckham, Cason, Flynn, and Gaines. The Mullinax family consists of Eddie and Shelly, who are the parents of Ashley and in-laws of Eli, and, of course, the proud grandparents of our five boys.
We are a first generation cattle farm and bought our first cow in 2015. What started as a fun hobby has turned into a large cattle operation that the Lord has blessed. We enjoy life on the farm and teaching our boys where their food comes from and all of the hard work it takes to get food from the farm to the table.
