Beef Bulk Inquiry Form

If you are looking to stock up on beef, buying by the quarter, half or whole is the best way to fill your freezer. Instead of paying by the cut, you pay by the pound which means you get the best possible price on the high end cuts that you love like ribeye and tenderloin.

More Information

How is our bulk beef priced?

We sell our bulk beef by hanging weight, which is the weight after the removal of non-edible parts during processing. Hanging weight is typically about 60% of the animal's live weight.

How does hanging weight compare to the actual beef I receive?

The packaged weight—the amount of beef that goes into your freezer—is usually 60-65% of the hanging weight. This accounts for bones, fat, and moisture that are removed during processing.

Why is hanging weight used for pricing?

Hanging weight is the most fair and consistent pricing method for both us as farmers and you as the customer. Even when considering the difference between hanging and packaged weight, buying in bulk offers the best value for high-quality beef.

What costs should I expect when purchasing bulk beef?

You will pay:

  1. By the pound for the hanging weight of your portion.
  2. Processing costs, which are set by the processor and paid separately.

If I buy a quarter or half, am I getting a specific section of the animal?

No, purchasing a quarter or half beef means you are getting a proportional share of the total animal’s hanging weight. For example, if you order a quarter beef and request T-bone steaks, you will receive a quarter of the T-bone steaks from the entire animal.

Can I customize my beef order?

Yes! You will work directly with the processor to select your favorite cuts. Customization options include:

  • Choosing steak thickness
  • Selecting ground beef package sizes
  • Upgrading to specialty products like jerky and snack sticks (for an additional fee)

How much freezer space do I need for a quarter beef?

A quarter beef requires about 5-7 cubic feet of freezer space.
