Pricing & Value

The Beef we Sell: USDA-approved All-Natural Pasture-Raised Beef. Premium aged Texas beef, grass-fed and grain finished.

All cuts are vacuum-packed and flash frozen. No additives, preservatives, added hormones, or antibiotics.

All-in pricing includes harvesting, cutting, wrapping, and freezing at our USDA-inspected processor — no separate processing bill.

Whole Beef

Most whole beefs weigh about 750-850 lbs hanging weight
You’ll take home about 400–450 lbs of packaged beef
Freezer space needed: around 16-20cubic feet (about the size of a small chest freezer)

Half Beef

Most half beefs weigh about 375-425 lbs hanging weight
You’ll take home about 200–225 lbs of packaged beef
Freezer space needed: around 8-10 cubic feet (fits most home freezers)

Notes: Final take-home pounds are less than hanging weight after trimming and packaging. Exact yield varies by animal and cut choices. We’ll explain everything before you confirm.

Pricing will be determined before the next harvest

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I definitely recommend Chapman 3C, this is my 3rd time ordering meat from them. It is good quality and exactly what I was told I would get. Good to support local ranchers instead of big box supermarkets at least you know exactly where your beef comes from.  10 out of 10!

I have been counting on Mark and his family/crew at 3C to provide our "Thank You" gifts to my customers for several years now, and again, we are not disappointed in their service nor quality of meat. If you want a sure hit that your customers will not forget, I cannot recommend them enough as we are already getting great replies Again from some very excited folks. I would go so far to say that I believe a few of them have come to hope for a beef box from 3C and us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first time buying meat directly from a ranch. So far every single bite of meat that we've had has been delicious. Would recommend anyone that's thinking about it to do it. On another note, the family that owns the ranch are super friendly and helpful.
