No Bull.
How much beef are we getting in a quarter of beef?
Each animal is going to vary in weight. A quarter of beef usually weighs around 200 pounds "hanging weight", or as butchers may call it, "on the rail". About 30-35% of this weight will be lost in the curing process (about 10 -14 days) and in the deboning, trimming, and processing for your custom meat order.
What are the cuts of meat we will get when we buy this way?
We sell beef in a quarter front or rear, half, or whole. The whole animal can be described in 9 primal cuts:
​

What steps do we take to order beef directly from your farm?
We can take your inquiries by phone or email. ​Reach out to place your order or be added to our waiting list. Due to the seasonality and time input of this product, freezer beef is available certain parts of the year - for us, our general marketing window is May-October.
Once your order is placed, we will take a deposit for your selection, and you will receive contact information for the local butcher processing our cattle. Importantly, you will need to call the butcher to provide instructions for how you would like your beef cut and packaged. These will give them instructions on how you want your beef cut and packaged (steak thickness, size of roasts, pounds of hamburger per package, and other special directions to your liking).
The final invoice amount will be due to our farm at the time of pick-up. The butcher also has an approximate $0.70/lb processing fee that will be added to your final amount due.
