How to order beef.
We are always here to help you with the ordering process and to answer your questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.
How much will it cost? – We base our Final cost on the weight of the meat you take home. This is also called “boxed weight”. It includes all butchering costs and trim loss.
We do not base it on carcass weight (Hot weight)
Currently quarters are $7.75 per pound and halves are $7.25 per pound.
What is included in a quarter? We sell “split quarters”. That means you are getting both the front and rear quarter of the steer. This will include a mixture of steaks roasts and ground beef.
Can we pick out our cuts? If you order a half steer, you will be able to order cuts with our help. We can customize your roast sizes, thickness of your steaks and how many pounds of ground you want in each package.
I have never filled out a cut sheet before. How will I know what to write down? This is where we can help. We will go through each line with you to help with descriptions and ask about your eating and cooking habits. We are just a phone call away. We then share this information with our butcher.
Do I need to bring boxes or coolers when picking up my meat? No. In most cases the meat will stay frozen. It is packed tightly in boxes. If traveling long distances in hot weather might be the exception.
What is the first step in placing my order? We request a small deposit for all bulk orders. $100 for a quarter and $200 for a half. Checks or cash are preferred, but we also use Venmo. Credit cards will include a 3.5% fee.
When will the meat be ready? We schedule our butcher dates a year in advance and will let you know the next open slot. Dry ageing process takes about three weeks. After we have brought the meat back to the farm we will contact you for pickup.
