Buying Direct From the Source

"​The best beef is found on American farmland vote with your money"
​​- Adam Danforth, a butcher and James Beard Award–winning author

 Buying directly from us is like having your own personal butcher. The size of your beef order can range from just a quarter of a cow up to the entire cow. We are happy to custom cut your orders to your exact specifications.​​ Your beef will arrive vacuum-sealed, labelled, and frozen. Your freezer will be stocked with meat selections to simplify your cooking needs. By buying directly from us, we cut out the wholesalers, distributors and retailers, which saves you money, while getting our extremely high quality beef at roughly the same cost as the grocery mystery meat.

Our Strategic Advantages and What Makes Our Beef Different

​If you've never purchased your beef in this fashion before, there are several advantages to the consumer. Here are a few:

One Cow

When you purchase beef from Halal-N-Tayyib, you are buying the meat of ONE cow. All our cows were born on our farm, allowing us to control the genetics of the cattle or was born and raised by ONE of our partnering local farmers and processed by ONE butcher with over 40 years of experience at a local slaughter house. Our cows eat grass... that's it! We use rotational grazing which helps preserve and restore the health of the land while providing a more nutrient-rich, natural diet for the cattle. ​Your beef is aged and carefully trimmed and separated from the fat one piece at a time. You know exactly what you are feeding your family. This is peace of mind!​

Nutritious

​​You get to eat and feed your family meat you can trust! A fresh nutritious Tayyib BETTER meat sourced from happy animals and healthy pastures. Our meat is Tayyib which means just that - being pure, wholesome, good, healthy, unadulterated BETTER meat. BETTER meat for us, BETTER for animals, BETTER for the land and BETTER for farmers just the way it's supposed to be! That means zero hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs, 100% grass-fed, humanely raised, zero hormones, antibiotics or GMOs. Just a nutrient dense, high in healthy Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and vitamin-rich flavorful meat.​

Convenient

​It's a great feeling knowing you can go to your freezer instead of run to the store when it's time to prepare for dinner!​We custom cut your meat share for you! Once confirmed with a deposit, we will send you the custom cutting form to tell us how you want your meat share to be cut. You get the kind of steaks, and cuts you prefer. Everything comes neatly boxed, vacuum packaged and individually labeled. You will know exactly what you’re getting when you order and when you go into your freezer. We don’t do “mystery meat”! When you pick up a T-Bone steak or a roast from your freezer, that is what the label will say.

Affordable

Buying our beef in share packages (quarter, half, or whole beef), enables us to spread the cost across all cuts of beef, instead of just prime cuts. If you average the cost across all of the cuts you receive in a share package, the difference between our high quality Dry Aged 100% Grass Fed & Finished Beef is minimal compared to the mystery meat found at the grocery stores or Halal markets. As beef prices rise in the store, our prices can remain the same. For a cheaper per-pound rate, you can have excellent, healthy beef ALL YEAR LONG!

Delivered

​When your meat share is ready, we either deliver it right to your door or meet with you at a convenient location.​ We are carbon footprint conscious about all we do, and delivering meat in bulk is very efficient and if we arrange more families to all meet us at one of our meat delivery parties, we are most efficient from all standpoints. Either way, we enjoy meeting our customers face to face and if you read our reviews, we think like our present customers, you too will find the whole buying experience pleasant, personalized and professional.

"As salaam alaikum. We had the pleasure of ordering a quarter of a cow from Halal-n-Tayyib. The meat was very tasty and delicious. We got a variety of cuts. The price was cheaper overall than buying the more expensive cuts ( T-bone steak, sirloin, shoulder etc) when we compared at DFM ( Dekalb Farmers Market), You can really taste the difference and it feels good eating meat that you know where it came from. The brother Rashid has been great to work with and has great customer service and invests his time to bring quality halal food to the public. We had been looking for quality grass fed meat and it is a blessing to have access to local grass-fed HALAL meat. Thank you Halal-N-Tayyib. May Allah continue to bless this business." - Alex Sergent, Riverdale, Georgia

Cow Share System: What Is It?

​Purchasing a cow share is the way for individual customers to buy premium quality Halal Black Angus beef in bulk without breaking the bank.
​
When you purchase beef through us, you are buying a portion (share) of a live animal, either a whole, half (side), or quarter (split side). No matter how small your freezer or how big your table (and why not split a share with your brother, co-workers or neighbor), we offer a variety of packages to choose from.

You will get a wide variety of different cuts of meat while splitting the cost with others. All your meat is pre-cut, vacuum sealed wrapped and ready for your freezer. The cuts will keep in the freezer for at least two years.

How Does Cow Share System Work?

At Halal-N-Tayyib Meat Shares, we arrange cow shares year-round, but especially during the pick season. Once a cow share is filled, we process the said Black Angus steer or heifer cow (raised by us or by our partner farmer) on behalf of the cow share members. The total cost of our beef includes the price of the live cow in addition to the processing charges.
 
When it’s time to slaughter your shared cow, we or our partner farmer will take the animal to the slaughter house for processing. The beef will hang (or age) for 10 to 14 days before the processor cuts the beef up according to your specifications. Don't worry, we will help you along the way as the arrangements and cutting instructions are taken care of! If you are interested in organ meats, please let us know prior to harvest so we can make those arrangements. ​You can complete your customized order for cutting up your beef using our online order form at the time of order.

We will contact you shortly after the aging process to let you know when to pick your beef up and/or to arrange with us for home delivery! ​​​

Butchering, Processing, and Weight

The animal will be slaughtered by hand by our founder; Rachid Chafyaay; according to Islamic slaughtering law.​

• Hanging Weight: after removing the skin and any unusable portions such as organ meats of the cow, the animal’s carcass will be weighted. This weight is about 50% the weight of “live weight” or “on the hoof” weight of a live cow, and this the weight that is reported by the slaughterhouse to determine the cost of processing the cow.​

• Packaged/Take Home Weight: is how much actual meat that you can put back into your freezer. You can expect between 36% to 46% loss from hanging weight to packaged weight due to water weight loss, evaporation during chilling, fat trimming, gristle removal, and deboning. However, your take home weight will depend largely on your cutting instructions, like if you want your meat bone in or not for example (Bone-in vs. Boneless cuts). This will dramatically affect yield; the more boneless cuts that are made, the lower the yield. The usual average yield (packaged meat) ranges between 55%-75% of the hanging weight depending on the cutting method.

 What’s Generally Included in the Standard Cut?

The exact number and weight of of cuts will vary depending on the size of the animal and the size of the steaks and roasts. Generally, a standard beef share includes approximately 23 % Steaks , 47% Roasts & Misc Cuts, and 34% Ground Beef. Click here for a detailed example of our standard cut.

Cow Share Cost

The cost of your beef share is based on the hanging weight of the cow which is different for each animal. A whole cow costs $6.50 per hanging lb, a half costs $6.75 per hanging lb, and a quarter costs $7.00 per hanging lb. Processing, butchering, and packaging fees are included. The take home cost per pound ranges between $8.50 and $10.50 depending largely on how you cut your beef. The standard cut; which is the preferred cut by most of our clients; yields more meat and costs less per pound. 

Since we are small family owned and operated business, we focus on quality and not quantity. Unlike large scale corporate fed-lots, our grass-fed beef cattle are seasonal and not mass produced, so quantities are very limited. Make sure to place your order today! ​

​*Market Prices: Prices may change monthly due to changes in the market and can be verified at time of order. ​

Meat Shares Ordering Options
