Two Ways to Buy Your Farm to Table Beef

By the Pound or Cut

Buying a whole or half cow is the most economical and best option, but if you donโ€™t have the space for a whole or half beef package, or if youโ€™d like specific cuts, buying by the pound or cut is an option.

While you wonโ€™t see the same cost savings as if you purchased a half or whole cow, youโ€™ll still see a price break by cutting out the middleman and the reap benefits of knowing where your meat came from and how the animals were raised.

Half or Whole

Whether you have a large family, frequent gatherings, or have a grocery budget to stick to, a whole or half beef package provides the best value and variety of cuts for endless meal planning possibilities.

Your cuts, which can be customized, can include a combination of chuck roast, prime rib, rump roast, sirloin steaks, tenderloin, T-Bone, New York Strips, brisket, stew meat, and ground beef. Fill your freezer with quality cuts of responsibly raised and processed beef.


How it works

Locally raised and loved

Hungry cattlebottle fed calf

At Kopp Farm to Table Beef, we take raising cattle seriously. Itโ€™s our lifeโ€™s work, and we care about every step from conception to consumption.

Owned and operated by husband and wife team Jason and Tara Kopp, our cattle is raised humanely in free-range pastures with unlimited access to all essentials โ€“ from grain, grasses and feed, to water, and shelter.

Cows are cared for by our team, along with our veterinary partners, processors, feed stores and agriculture retails, all of whom ensure we are providing our animals with the best upbringing.

We even grow the corn and hay that make up our cattlesโ€™ diet. Weโ€™re involved in every aspect of raising the cattle, and take great care in ensuring the health of our animals and our customers. They truly are happy, healthy animals.

We love our cows, our farm, and that we have the opportunity to serve local communities with safe, healthy food choices โ€” from our farm to your table.

Raising cattle is an adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do your cows eat?

Weโ€™re proud that we grow the crops and grass we feed our cattle, including corn and hay. We understand animal nutrition and how that translates to consumers. Everything is grown on our farm in Gerald.

What is the investment for purchasing meat by the whole or half?

Beef is $3.75* per pound times the hanging weight of the carcass. For example, $3.75 x 700 pound carcass = $2,625. Customers pay the processor directly for their services, which is typically $1.25 per pound, but depends on the options selected.

*Market-based and subject to fluctuation

A quick summary:
Whole beef: $3.75/pound x 700-lb. carcass = $2,625
Processing: $1.25/pound x 700-lb carcass = $875
Total: $3,500/ 500 lb take home weight or $7.00/lb

Do you give your cattle growth or synthetic hormones? What about vaccines?

Our cows receive standard vaccinations and do not receive synthetic or growth hormones.

Do you sell direct to consumer or to businesses?

Both! We sell to a wide range of people, including families of all sizes who want to stock their freezer with beef to wineries, restaurants, grocery stores, and other venues.

How many cows do you raise?

We typically have 80 cow/calf pairs and three bulls at any given time.

How much beef do I need for my family?

It depends on your familyโ€™s size and how frequently you plan meals that include beef. For a small family of four, a whole cow should last one year. People often choose to split a cow with one or more families.

Whatโ€™s the difference between farm fresh and grocery store beef?

The meat in grocery stores is typically mass produced. Cows receive hormones and additives in feed for quicker growth and profits. With farm fresh beef, not only are you creating sustainability for local farmers, but youโ€™re ensuring your family or customers have high-quality beef raised in a cruelty-free, healthy, safe environment.

Do you have a recommendation for processing?

We have partnerships with Williams Bros Meat Market in Washington, Swiss Meat in Hermann, and Lyon Country Meats in New Haven, MO.

Do you work with other processors?

We can work with the processor of your choice as long as you make arrangements.

Do you deliver/ship?

Yes! We deliver in the east, central Missouri area (call for details). Shipping is available throughout the United States.
