Q. How much does a 1/4 beef weigh/cost?
A. You can find our current pricing and information on 1/2's and 1/4's here. Our current pricing and information on hogs is here. These prices will change based on current market pricing.
Q. If I want to order a split 1/2, do I have to find someone to buy the other 1/4?
A. No, we will sell the other 1/4.
Q. How long does it take to get an animal in for butchering?
A. Some farmers schedule their animals 1 year ahead of time to be sure we can accommodate them, especially from August to January when our schedule does fill. Some farmers schedule animals monthly for the same reason. We also do hold a waiting list for times when we are full. We do get cancellations and try to accommodate people on this list as quickly as possible. Please call for details or more information.
Q. When will my meat be done?
A. If buying from us, it usually takes 2-3 weeks from the time you order.
Q. Will everything be done at once?
A. Usually your whole order is ready for pick up together. Exceptions are if you have requested dried beef, ham, bacon, or some sausage products. It can take 10-14 days to process these items. We ask that you come in and pay for your whole order and come back at a later date for these items. We will make exceptions for those customers that travel a distance to get here.
Q. How does my meat come packaged? Can I get it vacuum packed?
A. All meat is packaged to go right to the freezer! It is packaged to your specifications and we use only top quality freezer wrap. Your fresh cuts have plastic between them for ease of separating and for extra protection. Everything comes labeled and dated. We do not vacuum pack custom cuts because it is unnecessary and more likely to lose its seal creating freezer burn.
Q. Do I pay for everything there?
A. If you purchased the animal to be butchered right from us, then you pay for everything here. If you purchased the animal through a farmer of your choice, then you pay us the processing fee and pay the farmer separately for the animal.
