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

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 $2040.00 (400 lbs. x $5.10). This includes ALL standard processing fees (cutting and packaging), vacuum seal fee, 3 weeks aging and delivery. *Price is calculated by the hanging weight, which will differ from the take-home weight * This is an estimate and your actual order could be less or more. See Bulk Options p(/bulk)age for more information.

Typically nothing - We cover all standard processing fees. The customer is only responsible for additional fees if they request something that is not covered in standard processing, such as pre-made hamburger patties or filet mignon.
