Buying Custom Ordered Quarters, Halves & Whole Beefs

Our beef is dry aged 7-14 days, and all cuts are custom cut to your specifi cations. See the other beef pricing page on our website to see what cuts are available from each quarter.  Hind Quarters are higher priced because they contain most of the steaks.

Hanging weight is the weight of the beef after the hide, entrails, feet, and head are removed, and ranges from 185lb to 280lb for one of our half beefs.  Quarters might average around 110-140 lbs hanging weight. 

 

Packaged weights will be approx 20% less than the hanging weight after excess fat, bone, and connective tissue are removed, or even less if you order many boneless cuts.  If you order the bones for soup or your dogs, your packaged weight will be a much higher percentage of the hanging weight.

​

Front Quarters  are $4.00 per lb of hanging weight if the buyer pays the slaughter & processing bill and picks up the meat at the processing plant.

Hind Quarters are $5.00 per lb of hanging weight if the buyer pays the slaughter & processing bill and picks up the meat at the processing plant.

Halves and Whole Beefs are $4.50 per lb of hanging weight if the buyer pays the slaughter & processing bill and picks up the meat at the processing plant.

​

These fees are payable directly to us at the time the hanging weight is determined, either by check or by Paypal. The processing fees are paid directly to the processing plant at the time of pickup.

​
