WHOLE ANIMAL PRICING
All orders must be placed using our online forms:
Once an order has been received, the head butcher will schedule some time for a phone consultation. During this call, the order will be finalized and all custom requests will be accepted/discussed.
A 50% deposit will be required to reserve the animal. The value of this deposit will be based on the average hanging weights of each animal and will be deducted from the final purchase.
The averages are:
BEEF: Forequarter: 180lbs, Hindquarter: 150lbs
PORK: Side: 115lbs
LAMB: Whole: 60lbs
Average weights are based on hang weight for the purpose of the deposit and do not reflect the total weight or yield of the order. If choosing the half/quarter options the weight will be close to the averages as we do not break those down.
