Make a Deposit:
Your deposit ensures that one of our cows will be grown just for you. The total deposit will be applied to the final cost of the order. 

**How You'll Be Charged:**

The remaining balance after your deposit will be based on the hanging weight of your beef, as provided by our USDA-certified butcher. The deposit you’ve already made will be deducted from this total. Please note that it typically takes 18-20 days for the dry aging process to be completed, ensuring you receive the highest quality beef.

Also please remember every animal is different and will end up with a different hang weight. 

What’s a Hanging Pound?

*Hanging weight refers to the weight of the carcass before it is trimmed down to the individual cuts you receive. This process results in receiving less meat than the hanging weight.

Our prices are based on "hanging" pounds. Hanging weight is about 50 – 60% of the weight of "live weight" (also called "on the hoof"). Finished weight is about 40-50% of hanging weight, depending on your custom cut instructions - like whether you cut bone-in or not, for example. At Winters Cattle Ranch, you are charged for the hanging weight of your 1/2 cow.
