For ranches
Meat share software for ranches
Selling beef or pork by the share means deposits, cut sheets, butcher dates and a final bill by hanging weight. The setup that works collects all of it online and keeps the store by the cut running alongside.
Built for ranches and meat producers. Set up for you, on the tools you already use.
Updated
The short answer
Take deposits for quarter, half and whole shares online, collect cut sheets in the same order, schedule butcher dates, bill the balance by hanging weight, and sell individual cuts from the same inventory.
How it works
-
Deposits online
Quarter, half and whole shares with a deposit at checkout.
-
Cut sheets in the order
Customers fill in their cut preferences when they reserve, sent to the butcher as is.
-
Butcher dates
Each share tied to a processing date, with reminders before pickup.
-
Final bill by weight
Balance invoiced from the hanging weight once it comes back.
-
A store by the cut
Steaks, ground and bundles sold online from the same inventory, with frozen shipping or local pickup.
