Frequently asked questions:

What is included in the price?  We cover all expenses - the cost of raising the cattle and hogs, transportation to/from the processor, all butcher/processing costs, and delivery on our scheduled delivery trips.  The meat you receive is vacuum packaged and frozen in the cuts listed. 

Do you offer smaller quantities?  Yes we have a 1/8th share that is half of this amount -- click here for more information.

How much freezer storage space is required?  We recommend about 1 cubic foot of freezer storage space for 30 lbs of beef.  Quarter beef share will take up about 5-6 cubic feet.  A household refrigerator with freezer attached usually has about 4-5 cubic feet of freezer space, so for a quarter or half cow we recommend a deep freezer. 

Do you have beef bones available?  Yes - please contact us if you'd like beef bones for broth and we'll include with the beef share purchase.

How long can I keep beef in my freezer? Beef from our farm is vacuum sealed right after it's cut for optimal freezer longevity!  If stored in a deep freezer at sub-zero temps, beef can be stored for 8-12+ months with no difference in taste or eating experience.

How much beef is in a whole cow?  Live weight: ~1220 lbs.  Hanging weight of a pasture raised steer is about 57-60% of that: 720 lbs.  After 21-day dry aging, deboning, and trimming, that 720 lbs carcass will produce about 440 lbs of beef.  1/4th is 110 lbs.
