We know buying beef in bulk can feel like a big decision, but it’s one of the smartest ways to save money and secure high-quality meat for months. Instead of paying premium prices at the store, you can order a half cow or whole cow from Wild Country Meats and have it delivered straight to your Oklahoma City home for just $5.
A half cow gives you about 195–220 pounds of beef, while a whole cow doubles that to around 400–440 pounds. Both options include steaks, roasts, ground beef, and specialty cuts, all dry-aged for 14–21 days for top-notch flavor. You even get to customize your cuts and packaging to suit your preferences. With prices that beat grocery store rates and the added benefit of supporting local ranchers, this is a practical choice for families who love cooking at home.
Here’s how it works: choose your size, personalize your cuts, and decide on delivery or pickup. It’s that simple. Ready to fill your freezer? Let’s dive into the details.

FAQs
How much freezer space do I need for a half cow or whole cow?
You’ll need 8 to 12 cubic feet of freezer space for storing a half cow and 16 to 20 cubic feet for a whole cow. Most medium or large upright and chest freezers can accommodate a half cow without issue. Be sure to check your freezer’s capacity to ensure it can hold the meat properly, taking into account the cuts and how they’re packed.
How long does a half cow or whole cow stay good in the freezer?
A half or whole cow can stay in good condition in the freezer for 6 to 12 months if kept at a temperature of 0°F or lower. After this period, the quality may start to decrease, so it’s best to use the meat within this window to maintain its freshness.
When and how do I submit my cut and packaging preferences?
When placing your order online, you can specify your cut and packaging preferences. After choosing a half or whole cow, you’ll have the option to customize how your meat is cut and packaged during checkout. Most of the time, this is done through an order form, but you can also reach out to the processor directly if needed. This process ensures the order matches your exact needs.
