How Much Beef Do I Receive?
The final packaged amounts of beef will vary depending on the breed, age, height, length, and live weight of the animal, as well as the season of the year. We strive to emphasize uniform quality of our product more than package count. The average order of a quarter of beef will yield approximately 90 to 115 pounds of packaged meat that would typically include quantities in the following table.
Sample Items in a Quarter of Beef | Packaged for 2 People |
| Rib Steaks - bone in | 2 to 3 packages |

| Club Steaks | 1 package |
| Sirloin Steaks | 3 to 5 packages |
| Round Steaks - deboned, tenderized | 3 to 5 packages |

Pricing
Pricing as of 23 March 2013:
Split-side (quarter) averages approximately $595 - $640 depending on rail weight of steer.
How this compares to what you can buy locally:
I did a comparison of a typical split-side based on the chart above and shopped two of our well-known, local stores on Friday, 22 Mar 2013.
Store 1: A local, healthy alternative grocery store, all of the beef in comparison was grass-fed, hormone and antibiotic-free just like ours. Total cost was $1,026.92 for a quarter of beef if purchased via this retail location.
Store 2: The market leader grocery store - NONE of the beef was grass fed, as they didn't have any in the case to compare. Just regular beef - not Angus, not grass-fed, not hormone and antibiotic-free. Just regular beef from the grocery. Total cost was $730.85 for a quarter of beef if purchased via this retail location.
So as you can see, we are still an exceptional value and priced substantially lower than either grass-fed or regular beef in our local markets.
Pricing is subject to change at any time based on market conditions.
