Common Questions About Our Meat Bundles
Are meat bundles cheaper than buying separate cuts?
Yes, in most cases. When you buy individual cuts from a butcher or specialty grocer, premium steaks like ribeye and filet can run $25-40 per pound. A bundle averages the cost across premium and everyday cuts, bringing your effective price per pound down significantly. The Butcher's Cut 1/8th Beef Bundle works out to roughly $13.57 per pound across 35 lbs of hand selected beef including ribeyes, filets, strips, and specialty cuts you would pay much more for individually.
Beyond the price: you also avoid the hidden cost of grocery store beef. Supermarket cuts are packed with water weight that cooks off in the pan. Our dry aged beef has already lost 10-12% moisture before packing, so every pound you pay for is real, usable protein.

Are meat bundles worth it?
For families who eat beef regularly, yes. A well built meat bundle does three things at once: it lowers your cost per pound, simplifies your grocery buying, and stocks your freezer with variety you would not otherwise have. The Butcher's Cut Bundle gives you 19 different cuts from steaks for the grill to specialty cuts not found in grocery stores to ground beef for the week - from one order, one farm, one trusted source.
The bigger question is: worth it compared to what? Compared to a subscription box, you get dry aged, single source beef from a real butcher shop instead of a fulfillment center. Compared to the grocery store, you get traceable, hormone free beef without the water weight markup.
What is the best meat box to buy?
The best meat box depends on what you value most. If you want the widest variety of cuts with a real butcher's quality and full farm traceability, the Milo Locker Butcher's Cut 1/8th Beef Bundle is one of the strongest options available online. 35 lbs, 19 cuts, dry aged 10-14 days, sourced from a single 7th generation Iowa family farm, and shipped nationwide.
If you primarily need ground beef, the Farmstead Ground Beef Bundle is 20 lbs of single source 85/15 lean - never commingled - at a straightforward price per pound that beats most grocery alternatives on quality.
