Description
Experience the convenience of having a wide variety of our grassfed and / or grass-fed grain finished beef cuts right in your freezer. You’ll be ready for holiday feasts, summer grilling, and date night dinner-for-two without the hassle of going to the grocery store. We offer free delivery within a 50-mile radius with the purchase of a share. The highest quality nutrient-dense beef will be right in your home, direct from our pastures. (Farm to Table.)
Our Wagyu cattle eat grass throughout their lives, and a few are finished with alfalfa and grain for extra flavor and marbling. This Wagyu is on a 120-day grain finish, with a butcher date of 16 November 2026.
Our beef is slaughtered, aged, and processed, just a short drive away from our ranch in an independent Animal Welfare Approved slaughterhouse and processing facility. Some are processed through USDA inspected facilities as well. Once you’ve experienced the flavor of our FRESH, grass-fed beef, or grass-fed grain finished beef raised on our nearby pastures, you won’t want to eat any other beef.
The cost is $8.75/lb hanging weight for a 1/4 share. Slaughter, processing, disposal, and delivery fee up to 50 mile radius are included in the price per pound.
On this particular steer we estimate our total hanging weight to be 700 pounds. Your quarter beef share may estimate roughly 175 pounds hanging weight. The deposit is half the estimated total hanging weight. Your estimated price for your 1/4 share is $1531.25. (Give or take). The final payment amount will be calculated when the animal is harvested, and you’ll need to pay the remaining price of your desired share once the total hanging weight is given from the processing facility. Your product is normally ready for delivery within 30 days of final payment. Your deposit is nonrefundable.
The Break Down…
To get a take-home return of 80 to 125 pounds of packaged meat, a quarter share of beef typically needs to have a hanging weight of roughly 130 to 200 pounds.
This calculation is based on industry-standard butchering yields:
• The 60% Rule: On average, you can expect to take home about 60% to 65% of the animal’s hanging weight (the weight of the carcass hanging in the locker before processing). The other 35% to 40% is lost to water weight reduction during the dry-aging process, trimmed excess fat, and discarded bones.
• To get 80 lbs of packaged meat: You need a minimum hanging weight of roughly 130 to 135 pounds.
• To get 125 lbs of packaged meat: You need a maximum hanging weight of roughly 190 to 200 pounds.
What Alters Your Final Package Return?
The exact amount of packaged meat you receive from that hanging weight can fluctuate based on a few factors:
• Bone-in vs. Boneless: Choosing boneless steaks and roasts significantly reduces your final package weight but leaves you with cleaner meat. Choosing bone-in cuts keeps the total package weight higher.
• Soup & Marrow Bones: Opting to keep or discard the soup bones, fat trim, and organ meats will instantly shift your final take-home poundage.
• Fat Trim: The overall leanness and muscling of the specific animal dictates how much external fat the butcher has to trim away.

2.25 cu. feet. Picture 4 brown paper grocery sacks about 3/4 full. All amounts are minimums. These are the amounts we stide to meet for each animal we harvest, but we aim to overdeliver.
Each processing facility is different and may not offer these exact cuts or specialty cuts. We try our best to offer a cut sheet to choose from and what is offered by the processing facility.
Once your share is processed and ready for pick up, shares are ready to be delivered to any of our convenient pickup locations or home delivery (within reason free of charge). You may choose to pick up from our ranch as well.
The total for your desired share is a set price, and you’ll receive a standardized selection of our most popular cuts.
