Order

We sell Grass Roots Beef by the mixed quarter - which includes cuts from the front and hind quarters. We charge $3.50 per pound hanging weight plus the $0.50 cents per pound we pay the abattoir to cut, wrap and freeze each quarter. While the hanging weights varies by size, the hanging weight of our animals is typically 500-600 pounds or about 125 - 150 pounds per quarter. You should generally expect to get about 70% of the hanging weight in cut meat - steaks, roasts, hamburger and some stewing beef. A "typical" order would include about 30% steaks (cut to 1"), 35% roasts (3-4 pounds), 30% hamburger and 5% stewing beef. However, we can accommodate your preferences to some extent if you specify them when placing your order. the steaks can be cut thicker, the lower end roasts (which need to be slow cooked) can be ground into hamburger or cut into stewing beef and the roasts can be cut larger or smaller depending on your needs. A full quarter will take up about 25% of an average chest freezer to store. If this sounds like too much beef for your family's needs, share the quarter with a friend.

Most of our meat is available during the fall from late August through late November but we take orders throughout the year. We will advise you when your order will be ready and you can come to the farm to pick it up or we will deliver it to your door in which case a delivery fee will be charged depending on distance and number of orders being delivered on that run.
