$550 million Another valuation the company commissioned this year put the figure much higher. It said ButcherBox was worth $550 million, meaning Salguero's piece would be in the $400 million range. “I've been increasing my position despite financial advisors telling me that's a bad idea,” Salguero told Forbes with a laugh.

Simply put, grass-finished beef comes from cattle that ate nothing but grass and forage for their entire lives. Grass-fed, on the other hand, may be used to label meat from cattle that were started on a grass diet but have either received supplemental grain feed or are finished on a fully grain-based diet.

We offer four curated box options as well as our popular CustomBox. You can choose from a mix of beef, pork, chicken, and add other special cuts such as salmon, lamb, and turkey (depending on availability).
