Beef orders are taken by reservation for quarters, sides or whole beef. Orders are filled based on availability. With a cow/calf herd of 120 our finished beef will be available most of the year but there will be gaps. Contact us to better understand the next finished dates and waiting list. If you choose to continue you will be put on a list and you will have the option to purchase beef when your name pops to the top. All beef is vacuum packed, labeled and frozen. On orders for whole and sides you will work with the processing facility to determine the cuts you prefer. Standard cuts will be used for quarters.
Beef for Sale - Pricing
The larger the package the more your will save over store purchased Certified Angus beef. A whole beef will cost about 10% to 25% below store prices. A whole beef contains about 210 lbs of hamburger and 210 lbs of steaks, roasts and brisket with average cost of $6.20/lb. Check this price against cuts at your local grocery store. Where Certified Angus is sold, hamburger costs between $5.50 to $7.00/lb, steaks $12 to $15/lb and roasts $6 to $9/lb.
