🛡️ 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 Elaina

We raise Angus beef the right way—grass-fed, veg-finished, and treated with the care that comes from working our own family ranch. Our cattle get rotational grazing, zero antibiotics, zero hormones, and zero animal by-products. They're born here, raised here, and finished here on what they're meant to eat. That commitment shows in the flavor and marbling you'll taste in every cut. We back it all up with IMI Global verification so you know what you're getting is legit. When your processed beef arrives, it comes from cattle processed at a USDA-certified facility and handled with the same attention we'd give our own dinner table.
