Deposit - Half Cow (2024)

This deposit will secure your purchase of a half cow at $5.25 per pound hanging weight in 2024.  Our 100% grass-fed cows usually have a hanging weight of 450 to 550 pounds, resulting in a take-home product weight of approximately 50-70% depending on the cuts you choose.  You may state in the special instructions section at check out if you have a preferred weight & we'll do our best to accommodate.

Our processing dates start at the end of October and go through early December.  We'll contact you a couple weeks prior to your processing date and advise you of where & how to send the cutting instructions to the processor.  Once we have the hanging weight, we'll send you an invoice for the final cost of the animal (minus the deposit).  When your cuts are ready, you'll pay the processing costs at the time of pick-up at the processor.  (For 2023, processing costs were $0.68 per pound hanging weight with additional $0.15/lb for ground beef & $0.70/lb for patties, along with the slaughter fee of approx $80 for a half cow.)
