Our spring run to Iowa is coming soon ... here is info on reserving a side of beef!
Wagyu Beef by the Side
Hey folks – we are getting ready to take our spring weaned calves to Iowa, so like we have posted here before, rather than return with empty trailers, we like to bring back finished steers that are ready for local consuption! That means we are taking reservations now for sides of beef that will be available in May.
These sides come from Wagyu calves that were born and raised on our farm and then finished in Iowa by A to Z Feeders under our retained ownership program. A to Z are pros at feeding Wagyu cattle and this beef is otherwise destined for those high-end restaurants you see that have Wagyu on their menus. The picture of New York strips on this post was sent to us from a customer that purchased a side last fall.
Our sides are priced by the hanging weight, and while we don’t know the exact weight until after slaughter, you can expect these to weigh in the 350 – 450 lb range. The price will be $4.50/lb payable to us, and then you will be responsible for the processor’s fees of approximately $1/lb depending on your options. You can safely expect to receive 50% of the hanging weight as packaged beef in your freezer.
One of the neat things about buying a whole side of beef is the flexibility you get in determining how it is packaged. You are in control of all the options. The steers from this load will be processed at Southern Integrity Meats in Cullman.
If you have any questions about the process or want to reserve a side, just message us with your e-mail and we can help.
The deadline to reserve a side is April 19.
If you miss this chance and want to be sure to hear about the next one, just let us know.
