The ordering process really is simple.  Whether you’re an old hand or new to the animal purchasing process, we’ll walk you through all the steps.

Here’s the four-step process and feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

First, Choose your size.   We sell our beef in either Whole, Halves, or Quarter shares of the animal.  The cost of the share is based upon its hanging weight.  This is the weight after slaughter but before butchering.  Just like people, animal sizes vary slightly, but this will be approximately 120-180lbs per quarter. This weight may vary from take home/finished weight based on cutting instructions (for example bone in vs bone out).

Second, Reserve your cow. Give us a call to place your order.  We’ll take your information and obtain a deposit.  Or you can use the "Buy Now" option below below to make your online reservation.  This deposit allows us to hold a share specifically for you.  Next, download and fill out our butchering instruction sheet.  Use this sheet to provide the butcher with the exact specifications you’d like in your finished meat.  If you’re new or unsure of what to specify, use our "standard cut" directions and the butcher will provide you with a set of pre-selected cuts and meat that you’ll be sure to enjoy.

Third, Wait.  Yes, we know this is the hardest part, but that’s what makes your meat so good. The cattle take their time on the open pastures and we don’t rush the dry aging process. This results in the delicious meat. Due to our geography we usually harvest in fall before the snow falls and we’ll contact you once your cow has been delivered to the butcher.

Fourth, Pick up your meat. Once the animals have been delivered to the butcher we’ll contact you with their final hanging weights. This weight will determine your final cost for the share (minus deposit).  Fees for butchering will be paid directly to the butcher at the time of pick-up.  Our butchering is done is at Elizabeth Locker Plant, Your Choice Meats, or Wray Meat Packing(depending on scheduling and availability); all of whom are experts in butchering and wrapping.  Typical butchering cost is approximately $1.65 per pound but varies slightly based on cutting instructions.

The final cost for your share is based upon the hanging weight of your animal, either whole, half or quarter.  This is the weight after slaughter but before butchering. Our 2024 pricing for grass fed beef are as follows:

Quarter:  $8.20 per lb. hanging weight, $250 deposit due at reservation

Half:        $8.00 per lb. hanging weight, $500 deposit due at reservation 

Whole:    $7.80 per lb. hanging weight, $1000 deposit due at reservation

Butcher cutting fees are due directly to the butcher and equal approximately $1.50 to 1.65 per lb. 

Each animal is different, but a quarter of beef will be around 100 to 150lbs of hanging weight. Once we have delivered your cow to the butcher we will contact you with the final weight and balance due.

Once payment has been released you may pick up your order at the butcher.
