The problem
Why Nebraska farm pages still leave you hunting
Externally, searching Nebraska beef often lands you on pages that never name a market day, a pickup, or what the per pound price includes. Internally, that hunt wastes evenings you do not have. Philosophically, you want one family farm, a clear week, and a freezer you trust, not five half answers.

We raised it. We will tell you where to get it.
We know the frustration of farm pages that never name a handoff. We are a first generation family farm. Travis and Jordan bought their first pasture in 2016, and today our herd is raised near Saint Edward with a storefront in Albion at 237 South 2nd Street. From there we drive our beef to the people who eat it, so you always know exactly who raised it. Eastern Nebraska finds us on a weekly rhythm: Albion on Thursday evenings, Bellevue on Saturday mornings, West O Farmers Market every other Saturday, College View in Lincoln on Sundays, share pickup or delivery arranged with Jordan, Bellevue winter pickup at Dip Cravers, winter market dates, and smaller boxes that ship on Tuesdays with UPS.
Our farm
Who raises Classen Nebraska beef
Travis and Jordan Classen raise Nebraska Black Angus near Saint Edward. The farm started in 2016. Every carcass dry ages at least 21 days. Processing is USDA inspected. Packaging is vacuum sealed. The Albion storefront at 237 South 2nd Street is open Thursdays from 4 to 6:30 PM. City pages below name the market day, pickup, delivery, or shipping path for Bellevue, Papillion, Omaha, Gretna, and Lincoln. We do not claim Alabama or Tennessee service on this hub. Nebraska is the work in front of us. When Nebraska searches scatter across directories, this hub is the map back to one farm.
The plan
Three steps to Nebraska beef from our farm
Pick your city page
Open Bellevue, Papillion, Omaha, Gretna or Lincoln for the market, pickup, delivery or shipping path that fits you.
Choose cuts, a share, or a smaller box
Shop steaks online, reserve a sixteenth through a whole with processing included in the per pound price, or order a smaller box that ships.
Pick up, get delivery, or ship
Albion Thursdays, Bellevue Saturdays, West O every other Saturday, College View Sundays, share delivery arranged with Jordan, or Tuesday shipping for smaller boxes.
How it works
How does buying a Nebraska beef share work?
Statewide searches ask for Nebraska beef delivery, beef shares, and half cow for sale. The steps stay the same in every city we serve, while the handoff point changes.
Choose your city and size
Use the city pages for logistics, then pick sixteenth through whole on the share page.
Approve the cut sheet
Jordan emails your pull sheet before packing so steaks, roasts, and ground match how you cook.
Dry age and USDA processing
At least 21 days of dry aging, then vacuum sealed packs.
Market, pickup, delivery, or ship
Follow your city page for Bellevue market, West O market, Lincoln College View, Dip Cravers winter pickup, or share delivery arranged with Jordan. Smaller boxes ship on Tuesdays. Smaller boxes also ship nationwide with UPS at carrier calculated rates.
About 40 days harvest to freezer
The dry age is why the timeline is longer than a grocery order, and why the beef eats the way it does.

How our price works
Is hanging weight what Nebraska shoppers take home?
No. Hanging weight is the carcass on the rail before cutting and trimming. Packaged weight is what actually goes in your freezer. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service talks about carcass weight and dressing percentage in its meat terms, which is the same idea farms mean when they say hanging weight. University of Maine Extension also walks families through hanging weight versus the beef that comes home. Classen prices shares by finished, packaged weight, ready for the freezer, with processing and packaging included. When you compare Nebraska half cow for sale listings, ask whether the rate is hanging or packaged and whether processing is a second bill. Our share table is built so you can budget one number before you reserve.
Questions
Nebraska questions, answered
Where do you deliver in Nebraska?
Delivery is free in Bellevue, Papillion, and West Omaha at checkout for eligible orders. Larger share delivery is arranged by phone with Jordan. Lincoln sits inside our free 120 mile farm delivery area. For Gretna and other towns, Jordan confirms the plan and any fee when you reserve. Shares can also be picked up. Smaller boxes ship nationwide with UPS.
How much does a half cow cost?
A half is $11.75 a pound for about 250 pounds, a listed total of $2,937.50 with processing and packaging included. Your final price follows the actual finished, packaged weight.
Can I pick up at the farm?
Yes, at our Albion storefront on Thursdays from 4 to 6:30 PM, or by appointment.
Do you ship beef in Nebraska?
Smaller boxes ship on Tuesdays. Smaller boxes also ship nationwide with UPS at carrier calculated rates. Beef shares are picked up or delivered rather than shipped.
What does the per pound share price include?
USDA inspected processing, vacuum sealed packaging, and delivery within free metro checkout areas or within 120 miles of the farm when Jordan confirms, or farm pickup. Smaller boxes ship separately.
Is hanging weight the beef that goes in my freezer?
No. Classen shares are priced by finished, packaged weight, ready for the freezer, with processing and packaging included. Many farms quote hanging weight and add a separate processor bill, so the take home pounds are lower than the hanging number.
What does dry aged 21 days mean?
Each carcass hangs in a cold, controlled room for at least 21 days before cutting.
Who processes your beef?
Our beef is processed under USDA inspection at a certified facility. We keep the focus on the USDA seal rather than naming the plant.
Where can I buy local beef near me in Nebraska?
Open your city page for Bellevue, Papillion, Omaha, Gretna, or Lincoln for the market day, pickup, delivery, or shipping path that fits you.
Can two families split a half?
Yes. Families can split a share. Delivery goes to one address with one point of contact.
What happens when the farmers markets close for the season?
Customers can still pick up, including at a freezer inside Dip Cravers in Bellevue, meet us at Bellevue Winter Market or Fowling Warehouse Winter Market dates, arrange delivery with Jordan by phone, or ship a smaller box. Check our Facebook page for winter pop ups. Weekend delivery spots are limited.
Is it cheaper to buy beef in bulk in Nebraska?
A share costs more on day one and less per pound when processing and packaging are included. Use the share table, then open your city page for pickup, delivery, or shipping.
