We understand purchasing meat in bulk may be confusing, so allow us to make is easier.
When buying straight from the rancher, beef is sold based off of hanging weight. Hanging weight is the total weight of meat, bone and fat before the butcher breaks it down into individual cuts of meat. All you have to do is tell us how much (quarter, half, whole) that you want, and we can take it from there.
You can expect a packaged weight yield of about 60-65% off of the hanging weight. For example: If the hanging weight is 800 pounds, the packaged weight will be between 480-525 pounds. If you're considering buying a quarter or a half, the amount you would get would be 25% and 50% respectively of the total packaged weight.

Each animal is different and they will all weigh differently. Expect the hanging weight to be 740-850lbs. Packaged weight would be 450-550. To calculate total cost of the beef, multiply the current price by the hanging weight. A 20cu.ft. freezer will hold a whole beef.
Every animal is different, but a safe number is 370-425lbs hanging weight. Packaged weight would be 220-280lbs. To calculate total cost of the beef, multiply the current price by the hanging weight. A 10cu.ft. freezer will hold a half.
Every animal is different, but a safe number is 185-215lbs hanging weight. Packaged weight would be 111-140lbs.To calculate total cost of the beef, multiply the current price by the hanging weight. A 5cu.ft. freezer will hold a quarter.
Our beef is grass fed up to a certain age and finished on hay and grain. Finishing cattle on grain gives the meat more marbling and a more desirable flavor.
The buyer is required to pay before picking up the beef from the butcher.
We have a purchasing agreement to protect both the buyer and us. We will send you the purchasing agreement to fill out.
