Every family has different needs, which is why we offer several purchasing options — all raised the same honest way, on the same family land, since 1947.
- GOOD TO KNOW
Buying beef by the quarter, half, or whole is different from buying individual cuts at the store - here's what to expect.
The weight of the carcass after processing but before final cutting and trimming - this is what your price and deposit are based on.
You'll fill out a cut sheet choosing how you want your steaks, roasts, and ground beef prepared - it's genuinely custom to your family.
A good rule of thumb is one cubic foot of freezer space for every 30-35 lbs of finished, packaged beef.
Once processing is complete, you'll pick up your beef directly from our local processor, vacuum-sealed and labeled.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Our cattle graze open pasture their whole lives, then are finished on quality grain and hay for exceptional flavor and marbling.
Yes - you'll complete a custom cut sheet so your beef is prepared exactly the way your family likes it.
A deposit secures your reservation, with the balance due at pickup based on final hanging weight.
No worries at all - we walk every family through the process personally, from reservation to pickup.
