We raise our beef from birth to finishing right here in Earlsboro, Oklahoma, just east of Shawnee. They are raised on pasture and grain finished for a high-quality, delicious, and wholesome eating experience.
From a half beef, you can expect around 225 pounds of finished product, although that will vary by the animal and how you choose to process it. The total price is based on hanging weight, which is the weight after the hide and internals are removed.
How buying a half beef works:
1) You pay a deposit in order to reserve your beef, which will be removed from your total at the end.
2) We send you a cut sheet, which you will fill out and return. This describes how you want your beef cut. We'll be glad to help you fill it out if you would like.
3) After the harvest date for your beef, we will receive your hanging weight from the processor and we will send you the remaining bill. The typical hanging time is 14 days (unless you specify otherwise). The remaining bill is due by the day before processing.
4) Your beef will be ready for pickup about 2 days after processing, when it has had adequate time to freeze. At the time of pickup, you will owe the processor for the processing fees. These typically come out to $50 + $1 per pound of hanging weight, but can be affected by how you choose to process your beef.
An additional 2.9% fee applies if you choose to pay with a card. We prefer cash or check (payment must clear before taking home your beef) to avoid this fee!
