**ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE WEIGHTS OFFERED HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.
WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH AN ANIMAL WILL WEIGH UNTIL ACTUALLY TAKEN TO SLAUGHTER.
THE FOLLOWING PRICES REFLECT MEAT PROCESSED AT A NON-USDA FACILITY.
BEEF
We offer beef for sale by the quarter, half, or whole. Our cows are raised on lush pasture in the summer and fed hay in the winter. We do not use preventative antibiotics. Most of the steers we butcher come from several generations of cattle raised on our farm. Please contact us if you would like to get on our waiting list.
Prices are as follows:
Whole $3.60 a pound on the hanging weight plus processing
Half $3.70 a pound on the hanging weight plus processing
Quarter $3.75 a pound on the hanging weight plus processing
Example Only. Weight may vary with each animal:
If the hanging weight were 350 pounds for half a beef.
With this example you would pay 350 pounds x $3.70 which equals $1,295.00 to the farmer. Then 350 pounds x .90 a pound for processing equals $315.00 to the butcher plus a kill fee ($60 for a whole beef or divided if you get a half or quarter).
(If you are getting a half of beef, this works out to be approximately 200-220 pounds of actual meat for your freezer when it is cut, wrapped and frozen. Remember this is an estimate only because every beef will be a different size.)
All meat must be picked up by the buyer at the processor's.
An estimate of the percentage of cuts an individual receives is: 31% for steaks and 31% roasts. The remaining 38% burger and stew meat.
