FAQ: Buying beef by Hanging Weight

How much does it cost? Our quarters are usually around 100-120 lbs hanging weight, which comes out to $620-$780. Our sides are about 250 lbs hanging weight, which is around $1,500.

What cuts can I expect? You will get a mix of roasts, steaks, stewing meat and Ground Beef. With a Quarter, you will get a mix of cuts from the front and back of the animal.

How much beef do you get? After butchering, cutting and packaging, Take home weight is about 60-65% of the hanging weight. For a quarter you can expect 60-75 lbs of meat. For a side, about 150-165 lbs.

Yeah but how much meat is that?!? A quarter will fill approximately a fridge freezer. A side, twice that much.

Available the week of Sept 12 to 15th. We will deliver in order to ensure that the beef makes it into your freezer ASAP.

Hanging Weight - means you pay based on the weight of the side of beef before cutting. You will get less than this amount of beef due to the loss of trim and bones during the cutting process. For a quarter, you pay for one half of the side weight and will receive a mix of cuts from the whole side. See our Hanging Weight Post for more information.

Butcher update: We've got word that the abattoir once again has a butcher working on-Island! However, due to high demand for butcher services, we may not be able to do custom cutting instructions. We will try our best to give you more information about exact delivery dates and times as they become available, however, the current circumstances require us to be flexible and responsive.

We will not have ground beef for sale separately at this time. Bones and offal are available on request.
