All of our local beef is pasture-raised and grain-finished. That means the animals have access to pastures and grass hay throughout their lives and we add grain to their diet in the later stages to improve the quality of the meat. Marbling is where the flavor comes from, and adding grain to the animals’ diet is how we make sure we are supplying you with delicious, local beef.
“There is no cow like a Midwestern pasture grazed cow who grew up literally down the road. I will not pay outrageous prices for beef that can’t compare to this!” -One happy customer
Buy in Bulk
We sell custom cut quarters and halves once a year in the fall (ready for pickup before Thanksgiving). We are currently taking orders for FALL 2023 BULK BEEF.
How bulk purchases work
On average, a quarter beef weighs 180 lbs. You will work with the butcher at Eickman’s Processing to customize the cuts of meat you get out of your quarter. After the beef is aged and cut, you will pick up your beef directly from the processor. Any cuts you don’t want will be added to your ground beef supply.
Bulk Prices
You will get two invoices. Here’s why:
- Pay the farmer: We charge $3.85/lb for the beef (average 180 lbs per quarter). We take a $250 non-refundable deposit per quarter to hold your order and send an invoice with the final total once the butcher has your beef and we have an exact final weight.
- Pay the butcher: Processing (cutting, freezing & packaging fee) is paid separately to Eickman’s Processing upon pickup. This cost varies depending on your cut preferences. Average processing cost is 80¢/lb.
