As you may have heard, Emelia and Maggie are each showing a fat steer at the local livestock fair. During this fair, we have the right to purchase the animal back, and process. To ensure there is adequate interest in the sale/purchase of their animal, they are seeking deposits for securing the desired portion of meat.
Reservation of 1/4 will require a $250 deposit; final price will be $1.25/lbs of final live weight, minus the $250 deposit.
An example is 1,200lbs final live weight x $1.25 = $1,500 - $250 deposit, for a final payment of $1,250. This will include all processor charges and we will deliver directly to you.
Reservation of 1/2 will require a $500 deposit; final price will be $2.50/lbs of final live weight, minus the deposit.
Reservation of whole steer will require a $1,000 deposit; final price will be $5.00/lbs of final live weight, minus the deposit.
The animal will be processed within 45 days of March 19, 2025, and should be ready for pickup approximately 14 days after processing.
Their approach for this is simple, confirm your interest in 1/2, or more, and you get to select how you would like to have the animal processed. If you choose a 1/4, we will have processed the typical method we use. We like steak, and hamburger, so expect that. The processor (USDA Inspected) vacuum seals and flash freezes all items, after a 14 days aging process.
Final purchase could be made through the Suwannee River Fair during the sale on March 19, 2025, or independently to each girl.
Maggie's steer, Hank, should be approximately 1,200lbs at the time of processing. This will result in approximately 720lbs hanging weight (prepared for processing), with approximately 400lbs of meat.
Emelia's steer, Bo, should be approximately 1,200lbs at the time of processing. This will result in approximately 720lbs hanging weight (prepared for processing), with approximately 400lbs of meat.
Weights at this time are conservative and anticipate final weights greater than originally estimated.
