Reserve a Beef Share – Indiana Farm-Raised, Custom Butchered

The Best Beef You've Ever Eaten — Straight From Our Indiana Farm to Your Freezer.

A Defiance Beef share isn't just a purchase — it's a decision to stop settling for grocery store beef. You're buying a portion of a single animal, raised on our family farm in Wanatah, Indiana by the same family that's been doing this since 1944. Every cut is 21-day dry aged, custom butchered to your exact specifications, and shipped directly to your door. No middlemen. No industrial supply chains. Just honest beef from people who know how to raise it.

1. Reserve Your Share — $200 Deposit Today Pay your deposit to lock in your spot. We process beef on a rolling schedule throughout the year and slots fill fast — especially in spring and fall. Your deposit guarantees your place in the queue.
2. We Confirm Your Processing Date We'll reach out to confirm your harvest timeline and connect you directly with our butchers at Montgomery Meats in Ladoga, Indiana. You'll know exactly when your beef is being processed.
3. Customize Your Cuts You speak directly with our master butchers to choose how you want everything cut — steak thickness, roast sizes, burger patties vs. bulk ground beef, and any specialty requests. This is your beef, cut your way.
4. 21-Day Dry Aging After harvest, your beef dry ages for 21 days. Natural enzymes break down the muscle fibers, producing beef that's dramatically more tender and flavorful than anything from a grocery store or commercial supply chain. This is the same process used by the world's best steakhouses.
5. Vacuum Sealed and Shipped or Picked Up Every cut is individually vacuum sealed, labeled, and either shipped directly to your door anywhere in the lower 48 states via UPS, or available for pickup at Montgomery Meats in Ladoga, IN. Shipped in insulated packaging with gel packs or dry ice.
6. Balance Due at Delivery The remaining balance — based on the actual live weight of your animal — is invoiced at time of delivery. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Exact quantities vary by animal size and your cut preferences. This gives you a realistic picture of a typical quarter share.

Before you speak with our butchers, download the cut sheet for your share size. It shows every cut available and helps you decide exactly how you want your beef processed. Bring it to your butcher conversation — they'll walk through it with you line by line.
