We offer a variety of packages for purchasing in bulk, anything from one large box to a full freezer worth of our Farm Fresh Beef. Below is an average of what you would be paying for and what you would be taking home.
Our pricing may vary when compared to other farms. We are in the business of producing premium AAA Beef and nothing less. What you pay here will be reflected in the quality and care of our beef, and the wonderful eating experience you are about to enjoy.
We base our pricing on the hanging weight of the animal. (The hanging weight is taken after the head, hide, feet and organs have been removed). Take home meat varies depending on the length of dry age. If your beef is cut at 14 days it will yield the most. If we continue to age up to 30 days, it will shrink ~8% each week. Quality increases as beef is aged longer. We like to age for 21 days, it is a happy medium. To touch on hanging weight a little more, for simplicity purposes this example we will use:
We
