Our Primary Steaks option offers you the primary steaks, roasts and burger (1 lb pkgs). There is usually 50-55 lbs of burger in this package. The steak cut list includes: Delmonico, T-bone, Rib-eye, Porterhouse, Tenderloin, & Sirloin. Roasts include top round, bottom round and chuck. Miscellaneous cuts include brisket, stew meat, kabobs, fajita meat, liver, and soup bones. A typical quarter beef weighs between 150 – 190 lbs, hanging weight.
This choice is for those of you who want ground beef for your entire purchase. Due to the butchering process, we ask that you order 1/2 steer if you choose this option. This 1/2 steer ground beef is in 1 pound packages.
Special cut requests can be done if you purchase a half or whole steer.

Know exactly what you want? Send us an email and we will put you on our list for our next butchering. Please keep in mind that hanging weight is not the actual weight you receive. There is a 25-35% loss from hanging weight to actual weight.
What is hanging weight? Hanging weight, also known as carcass weight, is the weight of the beef after the initial slaughtering process. The initial slaughtering process removes skin, head, unusable organs, & hooves.
Where is my beef? So you may ask the question where is my beef when you do the calculation of the actual packaged meat to the number of pounds we charged you for. From hanging weight to the actual weight you take home is approximately 25% – 35% loss, varying per cow. Many factors play into this. The standard of practice for the butcher is to weigh the steer as hanging weight. So when you take home the beef, you have to count on a decrease in weight. Bones & organs take up a large percentage of the loss. If you choose the burger program we offer, you have to expect a slightly higher loss due to the fact you have no bone weight in your take home beef. Please feel free to call us if you have additional questions regarding the butchering process.
