Question 1

How lean is your ground beef?

Accepted Answer

All of our ground beef is 85%-90% lean beef.

Question 2

How much will a 1/2 beef cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost will vary slightly because the size of each beef will vary. However, we estimate that a 1/2 beef will weigh around 400 lbs, hanging weight. Based on a 1/2 beef that weighs 400 pounds, the total cost would be $1660.00 (400 lbs. x $4.15). This includes ALL standard processing fees (cutting and packaging), vacuum seal fee, 3 weeks aging and delivery.
