How Custom-Cut Beef Orders Work
Ordering is designed to be straightforward and customer-friendly:
-
Reserve a quarter, half, or whole side of beef with a nonrefundable deposit.
-
Select a processing location and complete a cut sheet.
-
The butcher dry-ages the beef for 14 - 18 days.

Average processing costs (paid to the butcher) are:
