Most of the time you do have to buy a half or at least a quarter beef for the best bulk pricing. Its usually like a base of 2 or 3 bucks a pound then a really basic cutting and wrapping fee. But a half a beef cut and wrapped is still over a 150lbs so its best to share with family or another beef loving couple like Katy and I did. You still need a big freezer but anyone who fishes in AK probably already does.

Another interesting thing to check. We found a butcher shop down here that'll do the same deals for buffalo. I have yet to find someone who will split that order.
