Please read this whole listing carefully.

Place your deposit here to reserve your quarter of custom-cut beef. Beef will go to the butcher in either late June or late September, and be ready for you to pick up about 2 weeks later. Please choose whether you want June or September when you put your deposit down.

This $250 deposit per quarter is non-refundable. We understand that this is a significant commitment, and encourage you to ask any questions you may have before committing.

Our farm raises certified organic, 100% grass-fed Belted Galloway cattle, which are rotationally-grazed and never given medications or hormones. They are fed only grass or hay with a mineral supplement for their entire lives. We offer local, organic beef with an emphasis on high quality and sustainability.

A typical Belted Galloway steer weighs between 900-1,100 pounds, with a hanging weight of around 600 pounds, producing approximately 150 pounds of beef per quarter. You will pay $7.00 per pound based on the hanging weight. For example, a quarter of beef costs about $1,050, and after adding processing and slaughter fees (around $200), the total will be approximately $1,250. You will take home roughly 90 pounds of meat, bringing the cost per pound to around $14. (Note: This varies somewhat depending on the type of cuts you choose.)

Processing costs include a $50 slaughter fee and $0.81 per pound for cutting and wrapping, with additional charges for specific cuts. You’ll pay these fees directly to the butcher, Byron Center Meats, when picking up the beef, which will be dry-aged, cut, vacuum-sealed, and frozen for pickup. Be sure to consult Byron Center Meats for guidance on your beef cuts.
