How it works

JC Pasture Beef, LLC is a farm to freezer concept.  We do the work but you own the animal.  Our cows are raised on our rural farm, processed in our facility.  We are permitted through the Missouri Department of Agriculture. The State inspects our facility quarterly. We are permitted as “custom exempt”, which means we do not sell beef by the pound or in the meat counter style market. Our packages are marked not for sale. We accept our customers animals live and process them as directed. The customer owns the animals prior to slaughter, they have the liability as to the suitability of the animal for consumption.  Customers may purchase an entire animal or co-own the animal with another buyer.  Don't know another buyer, no problem, we will help pair you with other interested co-owners.  If there are multiple owners sharing the animal, we separate and track the parts through the process.   Payment is required for the animal before slaughter.  For instance, if co-owner Joe wants a half beef, the other half may be split between other interested co-owners,  Some slaughterhouses charge for processing based on the hanging weight.  JC Pasture Beef, LLC charges by the animal for a predetermined amount and if co-owned, splits the cost the same based on the percentage of ownership.  Contact us by email at jcpasturebeef@gmail.com with questions or to inquire about animal ownership availability or to be paired up with another interested co-owner.
