ButcherBox is launching Find a Rancher, a cow share program allowing customers to buy whole or half cows directly from independent American ranchers. The program promotes pasture-raised cattle without antibiotics or added hormones, bypassing conventional feedlot systems. Customers can join a waitlist to participate in the program.

Before I started ButcherBox, I was buying my meat from local farmers through a cow share because I didn’t trust what I was finding in the grocery store when it came to feeding my family. In a sense, the cow share is really where the idea for ButcherBox took off.

So, I’m bringing the concept back to life!

The Cow Share Is Back!

This week, we’re launching Find a Rancher™ by ButcherBox, a new cow share program that lets people buy a whole or half cow directly from independent, American ranchers committed to raising cattle on pasture and without antibiotics or added hormones.

If you’ve read the news, there is real pressure on independent and family ranchers to sell into conventional feedlot systems when there isn’t local demand. Feedlots are something we’ve spent nearly a decade advocating against with our sourcing philosophy.

This will be our new way of buying a share of a cow directly from the rancher who raised it, no feedlots in between.

We’re starting small and building, so if a cow share sounds like something you’re interested in, join the waitlist!

JOIN THE WAITLIST

P.S. If you know someone who has been asking about this, or would be interested, pass it along!
