PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
Our mouthwatering Grass Fed Beef is a family favorite. We allow our cows to graze on pasture before being finished on a diet of premium alfalfa. Our USDA inspected butcher dry ages the beef to perfection before handcarving the beef into succulent steaks, roasts, and other cuts. Because we dry age the whole beef, even our hamburger tastes like steak! We want you to be 100% confident and comfortable when purchasing from our farm. If after reading this page, you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to send us an email or give us a call.
We offer two different ways to process your beef:
1. Standard Processing (See our list below)
2. Custom Processing
The custom processing is for customers who would like specialty cuts that are different from the list below.
A FEW OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- The cut list below shows the average cuts from a quarter beef order. If you are ordering a whole beef, you can safely quadruple the numbers you see.
- Freezer space: When calculating freezer space, allow for 3 cubic feet/quarter beef. (A whole beef requires 12 cubic feet.) Chest freezers generally use space better than upright freezers. Beef comes wrapped in packages small enough to serve two people. (Steaks are normally wrapped two per package.) If you are serving more than two people, you can easily add packages to accommodate the size of your family. All meat is frozen at the butcher and wrapped first in plastic and then in butcher paper. Each type of cut is labeled on the packaging.
- Deposits are non-refundable. Once you place your order, the deposit money is used to help buy feed and farm supplies.
- The price is based on the hanging weight of the beef. While we average 600 lbs per beef, the actual weight can vary from 500 lbs to 750 lbs. A whole beef with a hanging weight of 600 lbs will return around 400 lbs of cuts in your freezer. We won’t have the actual total price of your order until the day of delivery when we pick up the meat from the butcher. It is at this point that we get the total weight for each animal.
- If a quarter beef is a little more than you need, find a friend or family member to share an order with!
- For some, buying from the farmer is a new experience, so, if you have questions, feel free to send us an email or give us a call!
