How To Order Some Fine Healthy Beef From Us Below you'll find a link that you can use to access our application to purchase a share of one of our fine beeves, porkers, veals, venisons or turkeys. Before you do that we want to cover a couple highlights of our meat purchase program so that your expectations are met. You will be purchasing a share of one of our meat animals. This means you are purchasing a live animal that will be sent to the processor, then dry aged, cut and packaged according to your specifications and flash frozen. With few exceptions, we do not have beef processed and then try to sell the meat. You will be committing to your purchase with a deposit. Your final price will be based on the "hanging weight" of the animal. We will not take your deposit if we do not expect to have any meat ready very soon unless we speak to you first and you tell us you want to wait. Our prices change from time to time but if we take your deposit and prices go up, you will get your meat at the lower price stated when we took your deposit. We have waffled back and forth over whether or not to include the butcher's fees in our prices. This was a great convenience for our customers as they only had to make one payment. Including the butcher's costs seems to make our prices look higher than others, terribly so to the conscientious "price shoppers". In the end, the additional confusion of trying to figure out what the bottom line was, made the decision for us. Our prices now include the cost of cutting and wrapping. Unless you are buying a whole animal, the balance of that animal must also be sold before we send it to processing. You can find a partner for this or we will find you a partner for this. Find enough partners yourself for a whole animal and get the whole animal price! The balance of the payment for your meat will be due by the time the meat is done being packaged. If you are not having us deliver your meat, you must then make arrangements to pay for your meat BEFORE you can pick it up. Neither we nor the butcher can store your meat for you. You must be ready for it when it is done. As long as we have meat available, the time from your deposit to having meat in your freezer could be from about 2- 6 weeks depending on demand, time of year, and other things beyond our control. We recommend however, that you send in your application and deposit well ahead of that as most people miss the boat if they wait that long. Most of our meat is reserved several months ahead of time, but we do often look for that last minute partner for someone's share of meat. Which brings up another commonly overlooked point : Freezer Space ! Have your freezer ready for the amount of beef you are ordering. We have seen it happen that a customer thinks they are putting a side of beef (a half a cow) in the freezer top portion of their refrigerator. It won't fit and we can't store it for you while you go shopping for a freezer. About split quarters... Split quarters (also called a split half) are a great way for two people to share a half a cow. Basically the front quarter, the hind quarter and everything in between is split between the two people sharing the side, making two nearly identical piles of meat. |
