| BEEF
Calves are
usually started by our family cow or nursing at their mother's side. Baby
calves sometimes get a small grain supplement for extra energy. Cattle are
grass fed and have access to fresh water and salt with trace minerals.
They are free to roam in the fresh air and sunshine. Some
hay may supplement grass in low pasture growth season. The
cattle are moved to new pasture frequently.

FREEZER BEEF
(Whole, Half, Quarter) Save money and customize your
order
We also sell whole, half, and quarter beef by hanging weight direct from
the butcher.
Interested in buying Freezer Beef? Here's how it
works:
We make a butcher appointment (which may need
to be made months ahead of time), then deliver the animal to the butcher on that
date. In a couple of days, we call the butcher and get the hanging weight
(of the halves hanging in the cooler). We would then email you the total
due us, and you send a check to us right away.
Within a few days, you give the butcher
cutting instructions. This can be confusing if you haven't done it before,
but they walk you through it. For example, how big do you want the roasts,
do you want any soup bones, do you want all roasts boneless, do you want butcher
paper or vacuum pack (plastic)?
Of the hanging weight, there is further waste
(trimmings and bones). This can vary quite a bit based on the
cutting. (For example, all ground meat would be fewer pounds than
including all bone-in roasts and soup bones.) When all of the cutting and
packaging is done, the butcher calls you and you go pick up your frozen packages
of meat and pay the butcher his charges.
Freezer Beef dollars and yield information:
Live weight
for beef ranges from 950-1300 lbs or so. Let's assume a live weight
of 1050 lbs. for our whole beef example.
Hanging weight
for beef is typically 55% of live weight, so our hanging weight is 578
lbs. for our whole beef.
Payment to the
farmer is $2.19/lb. of hanging weight. (If you get Half
or Quarter beef, the same price per pound applies to half or one quarter of
the hanging weight.) So, hypothetically, for cost, you've got 578
lbs. x $2.19 = $1266 paid to the farmer (us).
Payment to the
butcher varies depending on the the butcher, cutting instructions,
and steer weight; probably $400-$600 or so. Let's say
$500 for payment to the butcher for this hypothetical whole steer.
(If you get Half or Quarter beef, the butcher price will be
roughly half or a quarter of the whole beef butcher cost.)
So the Total cost
(payment to the farmer plus payment to the butcher) is $1766 in our whole
beef example.
Packaged meat
weight for our hypothetical whole steer might be
around 350 lbs. (This amount of meat will approximately fill a
large (14.5 cubic foot) chest freezer.)
Therefore, the Cost per
pound of the packaged meat is $5.05/lb. (for filet
mignon as well as ground beef!).
If you order Quarter
beef, you will get a mix of front and back quarter meat; that
is, you will get half of a front quarter and half of a back quarter which
together make up one quarter of the whole hanging weight.
