Getting Acquainted
Buying
naturally raised beef in large quantities from a local producer can result in
significant cost savings and provide the consumer with a healthier
alternative to grocery- store beef. Healthy
Thinking
Our
cattle graze freely in open pastures and are never confined in feedlots or
given growth hormones or growth stimulants. The cattle are finished on
alfalfa and corn to provide additional nutrients and promote tenderness. This
method of production yields beef that is lean and great tasting. This
translates into beef that is lower in fat and calories and higher in
vitamins, such as beta-carotene and Vitamin E. The taste and quality of grass fed beef will compare favorably to “store bought”
beef, and you will have the additional advantage of being able to trace the
beef to its source! Knowing the exact origin of the beef you are eating is a
real bonus in today’s market. |
Cost
Smart
The amount of take-home beef and cost
per pound of beef in the freezer are two important considerations for “on the
hoof” beef buyers. The hoof weight does not represent what will be deposited
in your freezer. In processing, there will be a considerable amount of
cutting loss. For example, a 1,000 lb. animal will have a hanging weight of
about 600 pounds at the butcher shop. Depending on your processing
choices, you will receive about 432 pounds of edible beef – including about
130 lbs. of steaks, 110 lbs. of roasts, 20 lbs. of brisket and miscellaneous
cuts, 30 lbs. of short ribs, 20 lbs. of stew meat, and 122 lbs. of ground
beef. This price is all inclusive: paying
for the animal, the butchering, cutting, wrapping and the delivery to and
from the butcher.

Certainly, you will be buying more
“chucks and rounds” than “ribs and loin”, but it is all delicious usable beef
at a reasonably lower cost. And if you’d like, we can provide you with a few
recipes for preparing those cuts you ordinarily would not buy. Remember we are selling you the live
animal. A great option for smaller families is to split a beef with a
friend. A half beef or “side” is often a much more manageable quantity of
meat, from both the perspective of cost and utilization. If you need a
beef-partner let us know and we’ll try to find someone in the same position. We will deliver your beef
to the butcher, thereafter it will have to be cut and wrapped, or “processed”
to your specifications. The butcher will talk to you directly for this
service. Please ask us for assistance in making the necessary arrangements
and decisions on processing options. The
Clincher
It’s guaranteed! If you are not
pleased with your beef after a two-week trial, you may return it for refund
or replacement. |
