Bulk Beef

• Whole Steer, 1/2 Steer, 1/4 Steer
  Beef is sold to you by dressed weight (hanging weight). A steer will yield 65-75% of the dressed weight in actual retail cuts, which is what will go in your freezer.

• We deliver the live animal to the processor for you.

• The meat is then aged for a minimum of 14 days before cutting. Dry aging enhances the natural flavors and tenderness of our beef, ensuring that consumers receive a superior and unforgettable dining experience.

• The buyer will be responsible for providing the cutting specifications to the butcher. We are happy to help you pick what would be best for your family!

• The amount of beef you will receive is largely dependent upon the weight of the animal.
