We will schedule a slaughter date with our local Butcher about one month in advance and will give you a two week window for when it will be ready for pick up at the butcher. We can also work with you to coordinate a delivery directly to your home or a convenient meeting place as needed. Once the butcher shares the final hanging weight we will send you an invoice showing the total amount owed. This invoiced amount is due prior to pickup. One-Half and Whole beef share orders will receive a blank cut sheet for customizing your order. This should be completed and returned prior to the slaughter date. *Processing dates are estimated and subject to change. Estimated beef share weights and costs are based on a 1,500 lb finishing weight. Our grass finished beef typically finish around 1,300 lbs and our grain finished beef typically finish around 1,500 lbs, and total cost is calculated from the hot carcass weight or hanging weight for each animal.
