With your $100 deposit, you are reserving a quarter, half or whole animal, subject to availability. You will get that portion of the cuts that the animal produced. About 20 to 25% of the cuts will be grilling steaks, like tenderloin, ribeye, sirloin, NY Strip, etc. About 30% will be briskets, roasts, ribs, etc. About 30% will be our great ground beef that is so popular! And the remainder will be round steak cutlets which are tenderized twice, meaty soup bones, osso bucco, bone broth bones, bone marrow bones, etc. All of the cuts are better described under the “BULK BEEF” tab on the home page, and there are actual pictures of our beef there.
The beef is dry aged for 21 days and then processed into vacuum sealed and labelled packages with the USDA inspection stamp, ready for your freezer. It can last for 2 or more years in your freezer as long as the package is not punctured and it is kept frozen. It is an excellent way to stock up on beef for the year. It is much cheaper to buy in bulk than going to the store or farmer’s market and buying beef periodically all year. For the last few years, we have seen about 80% of our orders going to repeat customers, and have been totally reserved out by mid Fall. SO DON’T WAIT!
The animals will go onto our special, annual grasses in January and, if you have a reservation, we will be reaching out to you for pick up here at the ranch starting in the Spring of 2025. We haven’t completed the prep for the finishing program and we therefore have not incurred all of the costs at this point. We won’t know how much irrigation is needed depending on rain, etc. SO, OUR PRICING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE for 2025. Don’t worry, if you are not happy with the pricing in 2025, we will return your deposit less a $25 admin fee — no worries.
IF THE WEB SITE SAYS WE ARE “OUT” THEN THAT MEANS YOU MISSED OUT ON RESERVING BEEF. SO SORRY! BUT WE WILL OPEN UP THE WAIT LIST AND YOU CAN GET ON THAT IN CASE SOMEONE CANCELS THEIR ORDER AHEAD OF YOU. THERE WERE SOME CANCELLATIONS LAST SPRING DUE TO FOLKS MOVING, DIVORCE, LOST JOB, ETC. SO, IT CAN HAPPEN!
