Whole animal, shared cost

Split a cow with your neighbors

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.

Three steps. One great butcher.
A freezer full of meat.

01

Butcher lists an animal

Your local butcher posts a whole cow, pig, or lamb with pricing, source farm, and available share sizes. Quarter, half, or whole.

02

You claim your share

Pick your share size and cut preferences. CowPool matches you with neighbors who want the complementary cuts. Steaks person, meet the ground beef person.

03

Pick up at the shop

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.

Better meat. Better price.
Better for your butcher.

Know your source

Your butcher knows the farm, the breed, and the feed. No mystery meat. No industrial processing. Full traceability from pasture to plate.

Cut preference matching

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 sell whole animals

Butchers make better margins on whole-animal sales with zero waste. CowPool brings them guaranteed buyers without the coordination headache.

Neighborhood pickup

No shipping boxes. No dry ice. Walk to your local butcher and pick up your share. Meet the people you split an animal with.

Your grandparents bought meat this way. We just made it easier to find three other families.

CowPool is building the marketplace where local butchers and meat-loving neighbors finally connect.
