How Hanging Weight Works
Unlike grocery stores, freezer beef is traditionally sold by hanging weight.
Hanging weight is the weight of the beef after harvest and before the beef is cut and packaged.
Your final packaged beef will weigh less than the hanging weight because bones, excess fat, and moisture are removed during processing.
Actual packaged weight varies depending on your cutting instructions and trimming preferences.
Processing
Processing fees are paid directly to our state-inspected processor.
Current processing averages approximately $1.10 per pound of hanging weight, plus any optional specialty items requested.
(Processing fees are subject to change by the processor.)
What Will I Receive?
A typical beef includes a combination of:
🥩 Ribeye Steaks 🥩 New York Strip Steaks
🥩 Sirloin Steaks 🥩 Filet
🥩 T-Bone / Porterhouse 🥩 Chuck Roasts
🥩 Arm Roasts 🥩 Brisket
🥩 Short Ribs 🥩 Soup Bones
🥩 Stew Meat 🥩 Ground Beef
Final quantities depend on animal size and your cutting instructions.
Can I customize my cuts?
Yes!
Our processor will discuss steak thickness, roast sizes, ground beef packaging, and other available options.
When do I pay?
A deposit reserves your beef.
The remaining balance is due based on the actual hanging weight once processing is complete.
How long does processing take?
Typically 2–4 weeks after harvest.
