Frequently Asked Questions
What is hanging weight?
“Hanging weight” is the weight of the animal after the slaughter process which removes the head, internal organs, hooves, hide. You can expect a "take home weight” in packaged meat of
about 60%-70% of the hanging weight, depending on the cuts you choose.
What is my cost compared to retail?
On average, your cost per pound of 'take home' beef to be between
$9.00/lb-$9.15/lb depending on how much you purchase, and which cuts you choose. This is for everything
from ground beef to choice steaks. Compare this to average retail grass fed beef costing $10-15 per pound.
How much meat will I take home?
A whole beef 'take home' weight is about 400-450lbs depending on the animal, a half is about 200-250lbs. We will estimate as close as possible at the beginning, but please remember that the final weights will vary, and we cannot give you an exact number until the butcher calls and your order is ready.
How much freezer space do I need?
About 1cu. ft of freezer space for each 25lb of beef. For a whole beef you will need a 14cu ft freezer space, half a 7 cu ft, and a quarter a 3.5 cu ft.
