Beef Quarter
Ground beef will be in one pound packages and steaks will be one inch thick and two per package. Ground beef sizes and steak thickness is not customizable on a 1/4 of a beef order.
PLEASE NOTE:the carcass weight or ‘hanging weight’ IS NOT the take home weight of the edible post processing meat you will be receiving.
The carcass will lose 40-45% of the hanging weight due to aging and processing.
Calculate 60% of the hanging weight to estimate the total take home weight. We will provide you with the weight of your total take home product upon pickup.
The ‘hanging weight’ is the term used for the carcass's weight directly after slaughter, but then it undergoes dry aging and loses moisture, the aged exterior is cut off and disposed of, and various bones, tendons, gristle, scar tissue, extra body and kidney fat, etc (the inedible bits) are removed and discarded during processing.
We age carcasses appropriately and process conservatively but the reality of the process is the hanging weight to take home weight loses 40% +/-.
