- Processing cost is built in, so the listed pricing plus 1% tax is your final total — no additional fees!👏

- Hanging weight is the weight of the carcass before it is de-boned.

- Take home weight is approximately 60% of the hanging weight depending on how many bone-in cuts you choose as well as other factors.

How It Works

1. Select when you would like to get your beef and finish checking out. You should receive a confirmation email.
• There is a $100 Cancelation Fee but please feel free to reach out if you want to change something or have a concern!
• If you prefer a larger or smaller beef, please indicate that in the comments when you check out.

2. We'll take the beef to the processor a few weeks before your pickup and notify you to call the processor with your customized cutting instructions  (They'll walk you through the options).

3. After the beef is processed and ready for pickup, we'll email you with the hanging weight and total due.

4. You pick up and pay for your beef at our farm after we notify you that it is ready. Enjoy!


Standard Cut Option

We now have a standard cut option available if you'd rather not deal with giving the processor instructions on how to cut your beef! Click on the link to see exactly what cuts you would get. 

If you want to use that standard cut list, just note that when you place your reservation and we'll take care of letting the processor know how you want your beef processed! The goal with this option is to make it super simple, so all you have to do is place your order and not have to think about anything else!😊


Cuts You Can Get

This is the approximate amount of cuts for a quarter beef. Multiply this by 2x for a half beef or 4x for a whole beef.

• Steaks including ribeye, t-bone or NY strip/filet, flank, and sirloin (cut 1 inch thick and 2 per package - approximately 10 packages)

• Roasts including chuck, rump, arm and sirloin tip (packaged 2-3 pounds each - approximately 11 packages)

• Brisket (2-3 pounds - 1 package)

• Stew Meat (1 pound per package - approximately 5 packages)

• Ground Beef (1 pound per package - approximately 40 packages - you will have more ground beef if you do not request stew meat, brisket, flanks steak or all of the roasts)
* Note: It is more economical to buy our 25pk Ground Beef (we get some of our GB from older animals) than to grind all the cuts from your cow to get more GB. We recommend getting as many of the cuts from the animal and supplementing with additional GB if you want more than the ~ 40lbs that is typical.

• Beef Fat for tallow (for easier rendering, ask the processor to grind the fat and if making skin care products, you need the kidney fat so ask to have that packaged separate from the back fat)

• Organs (heart, liver, tongue, oxtail, etc)

• Bones for broth (or for your dog )

• Want a different cut? Just ask the processor
