We require Non-Refundable deposits on all orders, total beef cost per selection is based on a 1100- 1250/lb. animal that will have an estimated 600-725 lb. Hot Hanging Weight priced at $7.10/lb. after initial processing (Slaughter). The processor fees of $0.76/Lb is paid separately directly to the processor when your order is picked up.
Thank You.
Final balance due minus the deposit is required after slaughter with the notification of the hot hanging weight. Once processing is complete, you will pick up your order directly from our local processor. 1/4’s are no longer available due to the sheer volume of orders, many of our customers split a side with a friend or family member.
Deposits for portions:
Whole = $1600.00
1/2 = $800.00
Total approximate cost based on 550 pound hanging weight animal
Whole = $3905 @ $7.10/lb.
1/2 = $1952.50 @ $7.10/lb.
Processor fee’s are not included, and will be paid separately to the processor upon order pickup.
The Initial deposits will be deducted from the Total cost of the portion ordered, we require our customers to have a vested interest in their animal portion prior to finishing.
What Does This All Mean?
As an example, let’s say you are ordering a side of beef from an animal with a live weight of 1,000 lbs. and a hanging weight of 550 lbs. The hanging weight of the side you are receiving is 275 lbs. Your total cost, assuming a $7.86 (total with processing included) price per pound of hanging weight would be $2161.00, (275 lbs. x $7.86). Assuming a yield of 60% the actual weight of the beef you would receive should be around 165 lbs. (275 x .60).
To complicate things more, let’s also say you are splitting the side among four friends (including yourself) giving each person an eighth. Everyone wants to know what they will have to pay and how much meat they will actually receive. What each 1/8 share will pay is easy, $2161.00 divided by 4 which equals $540.25. Then, to calculate the boxed weight of any of the eighths, just divide the 165 lbs. of take-home weight by 4 and each eighth share will receive about 41.25 lbs. of meat to put in their freezer. Cuts of beef aren’t widgets so the actual weight of each of the eighths will vary somewhat.
There are approximately 90-120 lbs. of cut and vacuum sealed beef per quarter. Roughly 25% of the meat is steaks, 25% roasts, and 50% ground beef. You need 8-10 cu. ft. of freezer space per half.
To compare this with what you are paying for retail cuts of grass-fed beef in the store, you can translate it to a price per pound of meat received by dividing the price per pound of hanging weight by the yield percentage.
Since this includes everything from ground beef to the more expensive steaks, I think you will find it works out very favorably compared to most retailer’s prices for grass fed and grain finished beef, especially since we only sell Premium Registered Angus Beef, you will not find Beef like ours in any retail store. Also due to our superior genetics, our animals tend to yield higher than 60%, so you will usually get a higher beef yield which will reduce your overall finished price/pound.
These calculations are not exact, they are provided to help our customers with an estimate of cost and yield, it is impossible to estimate weight and cost’s accurately because each animal is different.
We realize this may be a lot of information to digest not to mention a little confusing, but honestly the process is very simple, and we will answer all of your questions.
