What is freezer beef?
Freezer beef is sold in bulk directly from the farmer. Unlike beef sold in the store, the beef you purchase is from one cow and one farmer. While there is a large upfront payment, it is more cost effective to buy in bulk and saves money in the long run. Your purchase includes a variety of cuts (roasts, steaks, ground beef, ribs). You decide how you want your portion of cow processed by contacting the butcher. Click here to see the cut list.

How is price calculated?
The total cost= (hanging weight x $6) + (hanging weight x processing fee) + $100 for beef slaughter
For example... for half a cow that weighs 250 lbs, the price would be...
(250 x 6) + (250 x .90) + 100 = $1825
