Quarter Beef Share (Deposit)How It Works Buying a quarter beef from Allen Family Farms is an excellent way to stock your freezer with high quality, pasture raised beef. Below, we outline the entire process, including deposits, pricing, and how we determine costs based on hanging weight. Placing Your Order & Deposit To reserve your quarter beef, a $250 non refundable deposit is required at the time of ordering. This deposit secures your share and is applied toward the final cost.
