Baby Cow — Cut & Wrap
From $8.00 / lb Cutting & wrapping included — card hold at the estimate, charged by exact hanging weight.
Already have a baby cow with us? Custom cut, wrapped, and labeled to your spec, then vacuum-sealed for pickup.
Why is beef so expensive right now? Here are the receipts. 🧾
The U.S. cattle herd is the smallest since the 1950s. Live cattle are trading near record highs — about $2.56/lb on the hoof, and the young baby cows we raise cost even more, around $3.63/lb live — before a single cut is made.
And we sell baby cow — true young veal — which costs more than beef everywhere: USDA's weekly veal report shows packers paying producers about $5.24/lb (early 2025) for the bare hanging carcass alone — before slaughter, cutting, wrapping, or anyone's labor.
USDA's own survey of farms selling custom beef direct to families (Q1 2026) puts the national average at
$12.70/lb hanging for a whole,
$12.63 for a half, and
$13.52 for a quarter — ours runs $12/lb, below that average. And unlike a website reselling frozen boxes, we are the slaughterhouse — no middlemen, no mystery. Zabeeha is our name and our standard: transparent, traceable, trustworthy. Muslim-owned & operated, slaughtered fresh every single day — and our doors are open. Come witness for yourself.

Description
Your beef, cut your way. Reserve a half or quarter of grass-fed, locally raised beef or veal — slaughtered by hand the zabeeha way, never stunned — then fill out the cut sheet exactly how your family cooks: steak thickness, roasts, grind sizes, stew packs, the works. Our butcher (30 years on the saw) cuts and wraps it to your sheet.
Pay a small deposit today; the balance at pickup is simply the real hot-carcass weight × the $/lb, minus your deposit, plus the cut & wrap fee. Our team confirms your cut date after booking.
What does Zabeeha mean?
Every animal is hand-slaughtered with one swift cut — never stunned, handled with kindness, grass-fed and locally raised. You are welcome to witness your zabeeha.
