From Our Pasture to Your Freezer
We’ve streamlined ordering premium Black Angus beef to make it easy for your family. Here’s how it works from start to finish.
YOUR JOURNEY TO PREMIUM BEEF
From the moment you place your order to the day you pick up your beef, here’s what to expect.
STEP 1: RESERVE YOUR BEEF
We sell out every year, so the earlier you order, the better!
What happens:
- Choose between a half (375-425 lbs hanging weight) or whole (750-800 lbs hanging weight)
- Pay your $500 deposit online or via the contact form
- Receive confirmation and order details
- Your spot is secured!
Important: Orders must be placed by March to guarantee beef in the same calendar year. After that, you may be placed on our waitlist for the following year.
STEP 2: WE RAISE YOUR BEEF
While you wait, we’re hard at work raising premium Black Angus cattle on our family farm.
What happens:
- Your steer or heifer grazes on our pastures
- No growth hormones, no steroids – just ethical, natural raising practices
- Grass-fed, then grain-finished for optimal marbling and tenderness
- Our children (Wyatt, Hank, and Annie) help with daily care and feeding
- All cattle are processed under 2 years of age for peak quality
Fun fact: You’re supporting youth development and teaching valuable lessons about animal stewardship!
STEP 3: PROCESSING TIME
Your beef is delivered to our trusted local processor for expert handling.
What happens:
- Cattle are delivered to the processer in late October
- Your beef will hang for approximately 3 weeks for superior tenderness and flavor
- Each animal is carefully processed to your specifications (more on that in Step 4!)
- We receive the hanging weight from the processor
Processing costs: Approximately $1.00/lb hanging weight (paid separately to processor)
STEP 4: CUSTOMIZE YOUR CUTS
This is where you make it yours! Unlike buying quarters (where you can’t customize), our halves and wholes give you full control.
What happens:
- The processor will contact you directly to discuss your cutting preferences
- Choose your cuts: steaks, roasts, ground beef, etc.
- Decide on thickness of steaks
- Select special cuts or requests
- Everything is custom to your family’s preferences!
Popular options:
- Ribeyes, sirloins, T-bones, filets
- Chuck roasts, brisket, short ribs
- Ground beef
- Stew meat, kabob meat, jerky meat, fajita meat
- Specialty cuts (tri-tip, flank steak, etc.)
STEP 5: FINAL PAYMENT
Once we know the exact hanging weight of your beef, we’ll contact you for final payment.
What happens:
- We receive hanging weights from the processor
- Price: $6.00 per pound hanging weight
- Average half: ~400 lbs = $2,400
- Average whole: ~800 lbs = $4,800
- Pay the balance (minus your $500 deposit)
Example calculation:
- Whole beef at 800 lbs hanging weight
- 800 lbs × $6.00 = $4,800
- Minus $500 deposit = $4,300 final payment
- Plus ~$800 processing (paid separately to processor)
STEP 6: PICKUP YOUR BEEF
The moment you’ve been waiting for – premium beef for your family!
