Beef Purchase Information
The Process of Purchasing a Whole Beef
We will arrange for a Ranch Butcher. The customer pays the harvest charge of $200 per animal. Ranch Butcher will transport your beef to the Custom Butcher. Custom Butcher will call you to obtain Cut and Wrap instructions. All packaging is Vacuum sealed currently at $1.30/per lb., on the hanging weight (HW), price is subject to change. This option is the best value with current prices. The whole process comes out to approximately $8.50/per lbs. of meat in your freezer. The customer owns the animal, and we get a legal brand inspection proving ownership for them. They get to customize cut and wrap and request the hide be processed. We can help customers make arrangement at a tannery located in Turlock California.
