Our beef is processed at a USDA processing plant, “abattoir,” less than one hour from our farm. The beef is dry aged and hung for 10-14 days to ensure excellent taste and tenderness. It is then flash frozen and vacuum sealed and labeled with our USDA label that includes description and weight. The beef is not gassed or injected with fluids.

If you feel that what we have to offer is what you are looking for regardless of the availability in your area, here is how you can purchase our product:

1. Payment is by cash, check, VISA, MC, American Express, or Zelle. A 3.9% additional charge is assessed to cover merchant services for use of credit cards.

2. Wholesale: We sell halves and whole sides of beef..
Our price to you is based on hanging weight of your steer. The hanging weight is considered the weight of the steer minus head, hide and organs. You will pay us solely for the hanging weight of your steer. The hanging weight does not include the weight of the organs but these are for you to take home if you want them. You will then also pay the processor for the cost of processing and preparing your beef for you and will pay them separately from us. Our private label will be used and is free of charge to you in packaging. The label will have cut of beef and weight included on each package. This price and way of purchasing is the ultimate great deal and offers so much versatility to your families’ dining experience. It is also the most economical way to purchase the beef. Talk with your family and friends to see if they are interested in pursuing this avenue and split it amongst yourselves. Example: purchase a whole beef for 2 families and get the lower price of a whole beef vs that of a half beef. We will meet you at the processor to help you pick up your beef that you have custom cut.
