How to Buy
Price by hanging weight
All prices are by-the-pound are based on the "hanging weight." Weight just after the animal is butchered and is "hanging" on the rail. Subtracts hide, head, blood mass, internal organs, and typically leg below front knee and hind hock joint.
Butcher cutting process
Animals are delivered live to a local butcher shop. When they are ready to cut, we contact you. You will call the butcher who guides you through the cutting process. The butcher custom cuts and packages meat to your specifications.
