Freezer Beef
Our beef is raised from birth on our farm. The calves begin on the grass and hay, and when they are big enough, they are finished on hay and non-gmo corn. Corn marbles the meat and improves the flavor and tenderness.
Advantages to Buying Beef In Bulk:
1. Save money
2. Have a full freezer providing quick and easy meal options
3. Have high-quality, healthy, more flavorful beef than purchased at the grocery store
4. Support local farms
Cost
Cost is based on hanging (carcass) weight. The cost is $3.75 per pound hanging weight plus processing. Whole, Halves, or Split Halves are available. A Split Half gives you a 1/4 of beef with cuts from both the front and hind quarters. Processing costs between a dollar and $1.19 a pound depending on the beef-cutting instructions that you give the locker. A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of your reservation: $600 Whole, $400 Half, $200 Split Half. The deposit will be subtracted from
your final total.
Ordering Process
Reserve your beef and we will send you an invoice with the deposit amount that is due. We accept cash or check.
We will schedule your beef for processing (unless you are buying it by the live weight), and we will let you know the date.
You will be expected to contact the processor with your cutting and packaging instructions. The processor can help you decide which cuts and quantities to package.
Your beef will hang for approximately 10 - 14 days before it is processed which improves flavor and tenderness. Then it will be cut, packaged, and frozen.
Payment for your beef and processing of the beef are separate. We will get the hanging weight from the processor, and we will contact you with the total that is due, minus your deposit. Your beef should be paid to us before pick up from the processor. The processor will expect payment (cash or check) for processing your beef at the time of pick up.
The processor will call you when your meat is ready to be picked up.
You will want to bring boxes or coolers to transport your frozen beef home. Place it in your freezer as soon as possible.
