Bulk Beef
Common Questions When Buying a Beef Share:
What is a beef share?
Simply put a beef share is purchasing beef in bulk, directly from ranchers like us. You get enough meat to fill your freezer, and you pay the same price per pound for Ribeye steaks as you do for Ground Beef.
Buying a share of beef means all your cuts are coming from a single cow.
When butchered a carcass is split in half. So when you purchase 1/2 you are receiving the cuts from one side of a cow. When you purchase 1/4 you are receiving one quarter of all the cuts from one cow. Same for 1/8.
How long will it take to get my beef?
Processing beef cattle takes at least 3-4 weeks. Shortly after purchase we will contact you to answer questions and keep you in the loop throughout the waiting process.

About Us
We are Sawyer and Abbie Cottrell, and we started Legacy Ranch in the spring of 2021. We had been raising commercial Angus cattle for several years, but our cattle were more of an expensive hobby than anything else. We got to the point where we decided that we needed to do something that actually created a sustainable income rather than just breaking even or going backward. I (Sawyer) have always loved a good steak. When I heard about Wagyu, or Akaushi to be more specific, from a friend in Iowa, I started to get pretty excited about the possibilities. In the summer of 2019, I decided to artificially inseminate my cows to a Wagyu bull...
What is Wagyu?
Wagyu simply means "Japanese Cow". The genetics we have used to establish our herd can be traced back to the first Wagyu cattle that came to the US. While we use the generic term Wagyu to describe our cattle, they are actually mostly Akaushi, which is a breed of Wagyu. We have a small herd of cows that have calves each spring. We raise those calves from start to finish, and then we have the privilege of harvesting and marketing those calves to you, our valuable customers.
