Beef
Thank you for your interest in our beef.
We raise our beef on pasture. They are not stuffed into a feed lot with hundreds of other cows. They are on grass with plenty of fresh air and sunshine . They are also fed an all natural grain ration. This means that the feed is not organic, however the animals receive no anti-biotics, no hormones, and there is no animal by-products in their feed.

Currently, we are only selling our beef by the whole, half, and quarter. The meat will be processed at Great Scott Meats in Buhl. The price we quote you includes the processor's fee of .40 a pound (based on hanging weight) for slaughter, cutting, wrapping and freezing your meat.
The beef we are selling in the fall of 2011 is $3.30 pound - based on hanging weight. We are hoping to be able to hold that price for the next processing.
We will have a few 1/4s available for sale in the in the fall of 2011.
So, let's say you think you might like a bunch of beef in your freezer.
Here's how it works:
First you call us and get on the list. We'll give you an aproximation of when we'll have beef again. Right now we are taking names for the Fall of 2010.
A couple months before we bring the cattle to Great Scott Meats, we'll call you and take your cutting instructions. This is easy. We'll ask you how you want your ground meat packaged...usually people want 1 pound packages. My family's made up of big eaters...so I get mine in 1-1/2 pound packs. Do you want 3-4 pound or 4-5 pound roasts? Do you want your prime rib whole...or would you rather have it cut into rib steaks? Don't worry. We'll guide you through it step-by-step. After we talk about your instructions, we'll let you know when we expect to deliver the meat. If you live or work in a fairly convenient location, we'll bring it to you. Or we may ask that you meet us somewhere. We will be able to give you an aproximate total for your meat, but since all animals weigh different amounts...it's something of a guess. You can expect a 1/4 of a beef to hang between 160 -175 pounds. All animals also have different amounts of waste, as well - but once the animal is processed you can expect aproximately 2 boxes, measuring about 19"x15"x9" each, for your freezer.
When we bring the animal to Buhl, we will also deliver your custom instructions to Jim. He'll cut and wrap your meat to order.
When we deliver your meat...a personal check is just fine.
