Are you interested in purchasing beef?

Here's how it works in detail. If you have never purchased farm raised beef before or have additional questions, feel free to contact us, we're happy to help!

​

Please see 2024 pricing and butcher shop info below.

​

1.) Place a deposit to reserve your beef share. We sell beef in quarter, half or whole shares.

​

2.) We'll email you a few weeks before the cattle are harvested to confirm the butcher date and your order. 

​

3.) The cattle are harvested and taken from our farm to the butcher shop, (we do not have a butcher shop on site). Your share is marked immediately with our farm name and transported to the butcher shop specified on our online order form.

​

4.) We will email you:

• The hanging weight of your share

• Your invoice and amount due to the farm

• Payment and pick-up instructions​

​

5.) You pay the farm (us) for the hanging weight of your beef share. This payment to Springherd Farms covers the cost of raising the animal start to finish.

​

6.) We'll provide you with the butcher shop's cut sheet where you can check off and request your custom beef cuts. They may call you if they have questions or need to clarify your order. Once the beef leaves our farm it is your responsibility to communicate with the butcher, but we're always happy to help if you have questions. 

​

7.) The butcher will contact you when your meat is ready. You'll pick up your meat at the butcher shop and pay them for their cut and wrap services separately.  Note: The amount due to the farm and the butcher are two different transactions. 

 

That's it! From our farm to to your table.

Beef cost by hanging weight:

Your cost is based on the hanging weight of your share per pound. Ex: A half weighs approximately 350 (may vary depending on the animal). 

​

•  Quarter - $4.50 lb.   

* If you order a quarter share the butcher will include meat cuts from both the back and front quarters of one side. This creates a "split quarter" and offers the best variety of meat cuts between two different customers.

 

• Half - $4.25 lb. 

 

• Whole - $4.00 lb.

Example of take home beef:

60% hanging weight in cuts and approximately 25% of that in ground beef. 

​

Half Beef Share:

You can expect approximately 220 - 250 lbs. of beef 

60% hanging weight in cuts and approximately 25% of that in ground beef. 

​

Whole Beef Share: 

You'll receive approximately 420 - 460 pounds of beef with approximately 150 +/- pounds in ground beef, and 200 +/= pounds in cuts like steaks, roasts, ribs, brisket, tenderloin etc. It's best to share a whole beef with a family member or friend. This allows you customize what beef cuts you want, saves space in the freezer and you can always re-stock in 6 months to a year. 

​

Plan for:

​

• 4 cubic feet of freezer space for a quarter 

• 8 cubic feet for a half

• 16 cubic feet for a whole

​

The cost of your beef when all costs are applied is approximately $8 - $9 lb. This includes premium cuts like steaks, roasts, as well as roasts and ground beef. 

​

Payment:

​​

• Final payment, minus your deposit will be invoiced via email. Payment can be made online or by check. Instructions will be provided with your emailed invoice. 

• Payment for cut and wrap will be due to the butcher shop when you pick up your meat. 

• Please email us if you'd prefer to pay for the deposit via check
