Why Should I Buy Local Grass-Fed Freezer
Beef?
1.
No Antibiotics, growth
hormones, or any unnatural additives.
2.
Less Total Fat!
A 6oz steak can have the same amount of fat as a skinless chicken breast.
3.
Less Calories!
A 6oz steak from a pasture raised cow can have 100 fewer calories than a 6oz
steak from factory farmed animals.
4.
More Omega-3’s!
There are 2 to 4 TIMES the amount of these “good-fats” in pasture raised
beef.
5.
Higher amounts of Vitamin E
which helps reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer!
Commonly Asked Questions
1.
How much freezer space
do I need?
a.
For a ¼ of a cow you would need
approximately 5 cubic feet of freezer space
2.
How much actual beef do
I get from the cow?
a.
The average cow will weight
about 1000lbs live weight. This will produce about 630lbs of usable
processed meat. The exact amount will depend on the cuts that you choose
when you have it processed.
3.
How much does the meat
cost?
a.
We charge $3.10-$3.50/lb
DRESSED HANGING WEIGHT plus processing fees which are paid directly to the
processor. On average, your final cost will be about $5.00/pound. Compare
to buying a Rib-Eye steak at a grocery store for $7.99 on sale and that’s a
factory farmed steak!
4.
How much does the
processing the meat
cost?
a.
The processing charge will vary - but expect to pay
60¢/pound hanging weight. An example is: hanging weight for 1/2 = 225 lbs x
60¢/pound = $135 processing plus the kill fee of $23 so a total of $158 for
processing so your total cost would be $158 for processing + ($3.25/pound x
225lbs = $731.25) for an overall total for 1/2 a steer $889.25. This
of course will vary depending on the cuts requested but it does give you an
idea of what 1/2 a steer will cost. (Figure 1/2 of that amount would
be for 1/4 of a steer).
