Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before reserving your beef.
Is the price on the website a deposit or full price?
The price you see is a deposit to reserve your beef. The remaining balance is due after processing, based on the final hanging weight. This keeps things simple, transparent, and fair—you only pay for exactly what you receive.
How much does a half or whole beef actually cost total?
Most customers invest:
Quarter Beef: $1,300
Half Beef: $2,500
Whole Beef: $5,000
This depends on the size of the animal and your custom cuts. Compared to buying the same quality at the store, most families save $300–$1,500+ while getting significantly better beef.
How does pricing work (what is hanging weight)?
We price based on hanging weight, which is the industry standard. This is the weight before final cutting and trimming.
Your take-home beef is typically 70% of hanging weight, depending on your selections. We walk you through this so there are no surprises.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Your price includes processing, cutting, wrapping, labeling, and USDA inspection. Everything is upfront and transparent.
How much beef will I take home?
Typical take-home amounts:
Quarter: 120–150 lbs
Half: 260–340 lbs
Whole: 500–650 lbs
That’s a freezer full of steaks, roasts, and ground beef ready for your family.
How many meals will a half beef provide?
A half beef can provide hundreds of high-quality meals—often lasting a family several months to a full year depending on usage.
What cuts of beef do I get?
You receive a full variety, including:
✔ Premium steaks (ribeye, T-bone, sirloin)
✔ Roasts
✔ Ground beef
✔ Ribs, stew meat, and more
It’s a complete, nose-to-tail beef experience.
Can I customize my cuts?
Yes. You’ll fill out a simple cut sheet where you choose steak thickness, roast sizes, ground beef packaging, and more. If you’re unsure, we guide you through it step-by-step.
How much freezer space do I need?
Quarter: 4–5 cubic feet
Half: 8–10 cubic feet
Whole: 16–20 cubic feet
Most customers use a chest freezer for convenience.
What makes your beef different?
Our cattle are purpose-raised specifically for premium beef—not dairy or older animals.
✔ 100% Angus
✔ No added hormones
✔ No mRNA vaccines
✔ Raised on clean pasture and mountain water
This results in noticeably better flavor, tenderness, and consistency.
Grain-finished vs grass-finished — what’s the difference?
Grain-finished (most popular):
More marbling, richer flavor, more tender
Grass-finished:
Leaner, higher omega-3s, more natural profile
Most customers choose grain-finished for the best overall eating experience.
How is the beef packaged?
You can choose:
✔ Paper wrap (included)
✔ Vacuum sealed (+$0.35/lb hanging weight)
Everything is professionally labeled and ready for your freezer.
How long does it take after I place my order?
Typically 3–5 weeks from reservation to pickup. We keep you updated throughout the process.
Where do I pick up my beef?
We offer convenient pickup locations along the Wasatch Front, including Saratoga Springs and Logan.
I’ve never bought bulk beef before—is it complicated?
Not at all. We guide you through everything step-by-step. Most customers say it’s much easier than they expected—and wish they had done it sooner.
Can I split a half or whole beef with someone?
Yes—and it’s one of the most popular ways to buy. Splitting a half or whole beef lets you get better value per pound while sharing the total cost. We’ll handle the split for you, making it simple and hassle-free so each of you gets your portion ready for the freezer.
What is your refund policy?
Your deposit secures your animal and butcher slot, so it’s typically non-refundable. That said, we can issue a full refund anytime before processing begins. If plans change, just let us know—we’re here to help.
