My beef is only custom butchered and therefore cannot be sold by the pound of meat you receive. It must be sold by the whole, half or quarter (no eighths) and priced by the hanging weight. Your beef will be vacuum sealed and labeled with the cut of meat except ground beef which will not have a label.
The hanging weight is the weight of the animal after slaughter and dressing but before it has been cut. Hanging weights vary but are about 280 lbs for a half and 150 lbs for a quarter. The cost for a half is $7.00 per lb of hanging weight plus you pay the butchering fees which amount to about $1.20 per lb of hanging weight. A quarter will cost $7.50 per lb of hanging weight plus butchering fees which amount to about $1.20 per lb of hanging weight.
A half of average weight would cost $2296 including butcher fees with about 180 lbs of take home meat.
A quarter of average weight would cost $1305 including butchering fees with about 100 lbs of take home meat.
Custom butchered ground beef can only be sold by the quarter or half. The cost is $4.00 per lb of hanging weight plus butchering fees which amount to about $1.20 per lb of hanging weight. An average ground beef quarter with a hanging weight of 165 lbs would cost $858 for about 100 lbs of take home meat.
The superior quality of my Grass-Fed Beef is due to my ability to use the best genetics for marbling. I am using a half Wagyu half Angus bull to breed my Angus cows.
Your beef will dry age for increased tenderness and flavor in the butcher’s cooler for 14 days. Beef halves will then be cut to your specifications. A typical customer might want 3 lb roasts(for a family of 4 or less) and 1 1/4 inch steaks. You will get approximately 44% ground beef, 35% roasts and 21% steaks from you half or whole. Some customers will want more ground beef and will prefer to have their Sirloin or Round Roasts in ground beef. You will fill out a questionnaire about how you want your beef cut. Everything is vacuum sealed and frozen and will last more than 2 years in the freezer.
Quarter customers cannot choose how their beef is cut.
You will get 1.25 inch steaks and 3 lb roasts.
