Let's Talk Beef...

Many Cuts from the same primal - sorry, you cannot have it all!

The portion cuts are what makes up your order.  These cuts are wrapped in butcher paper, stamped (identify what's in the package on the outside of the package) and flash frozen - all based on your cutting instructions.

​Sounds simple but here's the thing: many cuts of beef come from the same area of the primal - which means for instance, you cannot get a T-Bone Steak and Strip Steaks at the same time! But you can get Tenderloin and Strip Steaks!


​Not only that, but one cut of beef can have several different names for example, a Strip Steak can also be called a NY Strip, KC Strip, or Hotel steak, just to name a few!. This causes problems when navigating through our cutting instructions. Talk about confusion!

What ARE THE DIFFERENT ORDER SIZES???

1/28/2020

 
​We average a carcass weight of about 650lbs Hanging Weight.
  • Beef = a whole beef (~650lbs HW) has 2 Sides – each Side can be custom cut to different specifications or the whole beef can be custom cut to the same specifications. (That’s a lot of beef!)
  • Side = (1/2 a Beef - 325lbs HW) – your order is custom cut to your specifications
  • Split Side =  (1/2 a Beef - 325lbs HW) This order is shared between two groups (i.e. 2 families) The Side is custom cut to specification but the butcher divides the cuts as equally as possible between ORDERA and ORDERB.  
  • Mixed Quarter = (1/4 of a Beef or 1/2 a SIDE - 162.50 lbs HW) A Mixed Quarter is based on your instructions and is derived from half the cuts across the SIDE - the other half goes to another customer with similar order instructions.  This gets a bit confusing -  so Just ask!). ​Sorry, as a rule, we do not offer Front Quarters or Hind Quarters
