Your local butcher lists an animal. You claim your share. CowPool finds others nearby to claim the rest. When the animal is fully spoken for, the butcher processes it and everyone picks up their cuts.
How it works
Your local butcher posts a whole cow, pig, or lamb with pricing, source farm, and available share sizes. Quarter, half, or whole.
Pick your share size and cut preferences. CowPool matches you with neighbors who want the complementary cuts. Steaks person, meet the ground beef person.
Once all shares are claimed, the butcher processes the animal. You pick up your vacuum-sealed, labeled cuts from the same shop you already know.
Why CowPool
Buying a whole animal costs $4-7/lb. Retail ribeye costs $15-25/lb. CowPool gives you wholesale economics without needing a chest freezer the size of a sedan.
Your butcher knows the farm, the breed, and the feed. No mystery meat. No industrial processing. Full traceability from pasture to plate.
You want all the steaks. Your match wants roasts and ground beef. CowPool pairs buyers with complementary preferences so everyone gets what they actually want.
Butchers make better margins on whole-animal sales with zero waste. CowPool brings them guaranteed buyers without the coordination headache.
No shipping boxes. No dry ice. Walk to your local butcher and pick up your share. Meet the people you split an animal with.
CowPool is building the marketplace where local butchers and meat-loving neighbors finally connect.
