At Lehr’s Prime Market, we take pride in being a locally-owned and operated business, providing our customers with the highest quality, locally raised beef right here in Ohio. Purchasing a side of beef from us is a fantastic way to enjoy premium cuts at an unbeatable value while supporting a trusted local business and Ohio farmers. But what exactly does buying a side of beef entail? Here’s everything you need to know:
What Is a Side of Beef?
A side of beef refers to one half of a processed cow. When a steer is butchered, it is typically divided into two halves, and each half is called a “side.” This means you’re purchasing roughly 200-300 pounds of beef, depending on the size of the animal. The side is further divided into primal cuts, which include:
- Chuck – Perfect for pot roasts, ground beef, and stew meat.
- Rib – Includes ribeye steaks and prime rib.
- Loin – Where you’ll find premium cuts like T-bone, porterhouse, and filet mignon.
- Round – Great for roasts and lean steaks.
- Brisket and Shank – Excellent for slow cooking.
- Flank and Plate – Ideal for fajitas, stir-fries, and short ribs.
At Lehr’s Prime Market, our skilled butchers will work with you to customize your order, ensuring you get exactly the cuts and packaging you need to fit your lifestyle and preferences.
