Beef 2012
Our beeves are raised on pasture their whole life. We do not forcibly, wean them early from their mothers, so they get to drink milk much longer than commercially raised beef. Their diet consists of what they would naturally eat in the pasture along with kelp, a mineral mix, and salt. We never give them antibiotics, hormones or chemical wormers. Nor do we spray chemicals or poisons in our pastures. Our grass fed beef is raised the way you would raise them if you could.
Each beef is taken to the butcher. He will cut to order, package and freeze the meat for you. All prices based on hanging weight. This will give you more options when choosing your cuts. Hanging weight, based on last year’s steers will be around 565 lbs, which gives you around 400 lbs. finished weight depending on the cuts you choose.
Whole Beef: $2.50 /lb plus processing, Half a beef: $2.60/lb plus processing, and Half of a half beef: $2.70/lb plus processing. All cuts of meat except the ground meat will be vacuum packed and frozen. The ground beef will be frozen but the packaging is different.
Processing Fee: Kill Fee $25 to be split according to portion of animal purchasing. Processing fee starts at 50¢ per pound hanging weight and includes any deboning. Tenderizing and other services are extra. The processing fee total will vary based on the services you choose.
Pick up day to be determined and will take place at the butcher in Golden City. We anticipate that one beef will be ready in late spring (late May) and two in autumn. We only have three for sale this year, so to avoid disappointment, reserve your beef early. $100 deposit required. You will need to mail us a check.
