5 Bar Beef
Grass-fed & finished beef raised on open pasture in California without any man-made chemicals or vaccines
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.
