CS bar Brand Meats is a family farm providing the highest quality meat products to your home, store or restaurant. We have pork, beef and poultry available due to seasonal breeding. Our goal is to fill in all seasons to serve the needs of our expanding customers. CS bar Brand Meats allows their animals a safe free-roaming place to graze and grow. We interact in a calm, friendly manner to further a
stress-free life for our animals. We provide our animals a variety of grasses, nuts, vegetables and locally grown feed. No soy or growth hormones! The only reason we don't qualify as organic is that we choose to de-worm our animals when young so as to allow better health for the creature. HOW do you get the meat product? Call us for an appointment to meet, choose your animal OR just ask us to choose one for you. Then, we will transport to a local butcher of your choice, or to our local butcher for processing. You pay for the final hanging weight, cutting and wrapping. We will provide you with a choice of cuts, plus any ground meat you wish to have for the beef and pork. We have our preferences, you may have yours as well; but if need be we are glad to make suggestions for you. We have “cutting instruction forms” available. The poultry will be whole ducks, hens or turkeys. Eggs will also be available. WHAT should I expect with the meat? First of all, grass fed beef is leaner; thus, some adjustments may be needed in your cooking methods. The learning curve will be short for any cook! The pork is amazingly delicious and tender. Finally, there is no better flavor than a free range bird! WHEN will I get my meat after purchase? Purchase 1/2 or whole, the meat is wrapped in sealed packages. Pork usually hangs for about seven (7) days, less or more if you wish. Beef hangs for about 14 to 21 days, again less or more if you wish. Poultry has no hanging time, we can provide it to you fresh or freshly frozen. WHAT is the cost? Our current market price as of: 2/25/14 is $2.25/lb. or pork and $2.75/lb. Example purchase from a recent happy customer:
200 lb. hog on the hoof will yield about 110 lbs. clean meat @ $2.25/lb. = $247.50
Charge to butcher and clean, $25.00
$0.38 / lb. to cut and wrap, $41.80
Total cost will be $314.30
This averages to $2.85 for all cuts of meat.
1/2 hog would be half the price of $314.30
Total cost varies with different weights of the animals. WHERE are we? CS bar Brand Meats is located in Lake Arthur, Louisiana.
