We are taking deposits now for October 15, 2025 butcher. THIS IS ONLY A DEPOSIT.
We have a small cow herd, used to keep the grasses short in our pastures so the chickens can utilize the land better. They are fed hay in the winter, and our pastures in the growing season. They may receive a small grain treat (our chicken feed) to entice them into the chute 2-4 times in their lifetime.
HOW IT WORKS:
We have a limited number of steers/heifers available each year, depending on our family need. For 2025, we have 1 steer available. (So 4 quarters)
- We charge $5.00 per pound, based on the hanging weight plus processing costs. (2025 pricing)
- A quarter beef averages 200 pounds hanging weight ($1,000) That will be about 120 pounds of take home cuts. So a half will be 400 pounds hanging weight ($2,000)
- Processing is usually around $1.04 per hanging weight pound, depending on your processing. ($200 per quarter, $400 per half)
To reserve your quarter or half, we take a deposit of $300 per quarter now. The remainder of your invoice will be due when the beef is processed. If you want a half, please put in 2 quarter deposits to reserve a half of beef.
You will meet us at the warehouse in Blaine to pickup once the meat is ready or you pick up in Sturgeon Lake from the butcher.
