• Our beef is grass-fed, grain-finished.
• Our beef is processed USDA at Hayes Meat Processing in Cordova, AL
  • Click here to learn about processing
• Processing fee is based on dress weight (carcass weight, hanging weight)
  • Dress weight is hanging weight after head, limbs, hide, and internal organs and fluids are removed
  • Dress weight includes some bones, excess fat and moisture loss that will not be packaged and wrapped for home consumption
• $5.50/dress weight lbs (includes USDA processing fee)
• Example of Cuts Breakdown (from our last largest cow):

The prices above reflect $8.31/lb of each cut of meat across the board!

We put one half cow, 325 lbs of meat, into 2 18-cf freezers…..the meat took up 1.5 of the largest size upright freezer we have found from the big box stores. (The freezer picture below if left for reference and is from our smallest cow processed yet.)

The cuts above are basic options and are approximate pounds or units of that cut. Number of steaks vary by cut thickness. The pounds and units vary by weight of cow at time of processing. You can make your own cut selections on our processor’s cut options sheet; we will email you the sheet after receipt of your down payment. Splitting a half beef with another family is a great option to cut costs and share the health! If splitting a half beef with another family, both families must agree on the cut choices, as the processors only process one half cow according to one sheet of cut options.

• $500 non-refundable down payment at time of order; remaining cost due at pickup (dependent on steer weight at time of processing)
  • This deposit is to hopefully ensure the person doesn’t back out on their meat. We take the lives of animals very seriously. I am a huge animal lover and I raise my beef cows as if pets so they have the greatest life until the circle ends to feed us humans as God desired. We are very grateful and thank God to be able to humanely raise clean food for the health of us and others.
  • The deposit also ensures we are able to keep the meat properly stored until the next buyer can receive if the first buyer backs out.
  • Email us for directions on payment. We take PayPal and Venmo. Other arrangements can be made upon further discussion. These arrangements ensure no party encounters hundreds of dollars of fees otherwise charged on other platforms.
• Local pickup or delivery options available.
• NOTE: See the picture of ground beef below. That is 80/20 option with the cow’s own fat added in. We have found these burgers catch fire easily on the grill, BE CAREFUL! We recommend choosing 90/10 to reduce the fat content. We will choose 90/10 for ourselves next time. This begs the question…whose 80/20 weights are correct, the grocery store’s or the processor’s. I have never experienced 80/20 ground beef from the grocery store with this amount of fat. One cannot know unless they process the meat for themselves and handle all the weighing. Just being transparent here and offering more ‘food for thought’!
• Our beef is now Sweet Grown Alabama approved!
