We can do this because we are currently processing custom beef and beef for our bundles. If for some reason your animal does not yield what we expect, we will make up the difference.  If your animal yields more than expected, it’s all yoursIt’s Your Beef.  Therefore, you don’t have to take the risk. You know the minimum quantity of beef your will receive and your total cost up front and we take the risk on the yield.

How do we know what your animal yields?  Our processor tracks everything and scans your beef as it is labeled and packed.  They provide a report listing all the cuts and weights.  We will use this report to check your totals and we will provide you a copy for your whole or half.

Frequently Asked Questions

?
When and where will I pick up my beef?
The beef is usually ready for pick up 17-20 days after the drop off date.  Pickup is required at the processor within 48 hours after we are notified that it is ready. Our processor is located in Asheboro, NC.  Pickup is also available at our farm if it is closer for you.  If you arrange to pick up from the farm, you will need to be available the same day we pick your beef up.  We do not have extra freezer space to store custom cut beef.
Why a 350 Pound Guarantee?
Traditional pricing uses the animal’s carcass weight plus the additional processing fees which also uses the animal’s carass weight.  The carcass weight is not what you get.  It’s the weight before your meat is processed into cuts and will vary from animal to animal. In this case, you get what you get and you won’t know your total cost until after the beef  has been taken to the processor and processed.

Each animal is different and can vary 50lbs or more from the estimate. If there is miscalculation, you could end up will  less wrapped meat than estimated. That’s the chance of buying whole beef.

With our 350 Pound Guarantee, you are guaranteed 350 pounds of total wrapped meat on a whole beef and 175 pounds on a half. This is not including the additional bones and organ meats that you will also get. Your animal may yield more than 350 pounds. We can do this because we are currently processing custom beef and beef for our bundles. If for some reason your animal does not yield what we expect, we will make up the difference.  If your animal yields more than expected, it’s all yoursIt’s Your Beef.  Therefore, you don’t have to take the risk. You know the minimum quantity of beef your will receive and your total cost up front and we take the risk on the yield.   How do we know what your animal yields?  Our processor tracks everything and scans your beef as it is labeled and packed.  They provide a report listing all the cuts and weights.  We will use this report to check your totals and we will provide you a copy for your whole or half.

How should I transport my beef?
Usually, a whole beef comes packed in 16-18 boxes approximately 21″x28″. Figure 1/2 for a half beef.  You will need a truck or SUV for all of the boxes to fit.  (We have had customers unbox and just put it in coolers or pack in the car with blankets for insulation to save space.)  It will be frozen solid and canbe transported safely long distances.
How long will the beef stay fresh?
After the dry-aging process, cuts are flash-frozen and vacuum-sealed.  This process keeps the beef fresh in Your freezer for up to two years.
How do you charge for whole beef?

Whole beef is usually charged by hanging carcass weight.  This is the weight of the total carcass minus the head, and legs before the beef has been processed into finished wrapped meat. It can be confusing a customer does not know the total charge until after the beef  has been processed.

It seems to us that it would be much easier if you knew the price and what you are getting before committing.  Our customers have expressed the same opinion and since we’ve been breaking the  mold from the beginning with our regenerative practices, we’re continuing the pattern by simplifying the custom beef process. We charge a standard price per whole or half.   You still get Your custom cut beef, but you know up front the costs and the minimum amount of beef you will receive with our 350 Pound Guarantee.

What cuts will I get?
The short answer is it depends.  It’s Your beef and you get all the cuts from your 100% Grass-fed beef.  If you only want steaks and burger, that’s what you get.  If you want to add some roasts and marinade cuts, we can do that too!  Below is an example of the approximate number of cuts processed out of one of our animals.  Each animal is different and You have the option of how you want Your beef cut.

How much beef will I get?
Our animals on average yield anwhere between 400 and 430 pounds of wrapped beef not including bones, organs, tongue, tail etc.

What if I only want a half?
If you are not ready for the whole animal, we can do a half.
Why is a deposit required before my beef is processed?

How is your beef different from other grass fed beef?
We only finish our animals seasonally on pasture, and on live growing forage, choosing only to use animals that were born, raised, and grazed right here on our farm.

Animals are Never sourced and comingled with animals from multiple states, farms, and farmers.

This ensures the best beef for you and your family knowing you do not have to worry about how or where your beef was raised, fed, or treated as they have been in our care from day one.

We will not sacrifice the quality and assurance of production practices for convenience. Our animals graze and finish the way nature intended; on GRASS!

In addition to our Regenerative production practices, we place an emphasis on our finishing process to promote marbling, tenderness, and flavor. We want our grass-fed beef to be the best-tasting grass-fed beef you’ve ever had

What are the benefits of dry-aged beef?
Dry Aging is the process of hanging a whole side of beef in the open air at a temperature just above freezing and left to age for several weeks before the cuts are prepared. During this process, the meat will slowly dehydrate, and the enzymes will work to break down muscle tissue.  This process yields a more tender and flavorful beef than the typical wet-aged beef commonly found in the supermarket. This is why most high-end restaurants also use Dry Aged beef cuts. Wet Aged Beef is the process where cuts are processed, and vacuum-sealed in plastics and shipped to the market.  The aging takes place while the meat is in transit.
Can thawed beef be refrozen?
Beef can be safely be refrozen when it is thawed at safe temperatures.  Our beef is shipped in heavily insulated boxes in dry ice or cold packs designed to keep the meat at safe temperatures while in transit.
What are the health benefits of Regeneratively Raised Grass Fed Beef?
Animals that spend their lives in a pasture-based system, mimicking the natural model are healthier and more disease-resistant. Research has also found that beef finished on live growing, biodiverse forage is more nutrient-dense than beef finished on monocultures such as haylage and silage.

Increased intake of Omega 3 reduces inflammation and aids in the prevention of inflammatory diseases. Grass-fed beef has the recommended Omega 6 to Omega 3 essential fatty acid ratio to aid in disease prevention.

Grass-fed beef is higher in cancer-fighting antioxidants, vitamin A and E than grain-fed beef.

Grass-fed beef has a cholesterol level lower than, turkey, pork, and chicken and can therefore be used interchangeably with white meats to reduce cholesterol levels.
