1. We sell whole beef or half beef only; you can partner with friends or family to purchase whole if you like. This way you get all of the best cuts as well as all the roasts, hamburger, and stew meats. You can instruct the processor to cut to your order.

2. We will charge a fee for our beef; it is market price of prime grade + 10%.It is sold by live weight at time of purchase. Then you will pay the processor their fee when you pick up your beef. They charge a fee for the process that is 46.00 + 0.45 cents per lb. packaging.

3. We use a local company Monon Meat Packing, in Monon Indiana. Their contact information is listed below. They are a USDA inspected processor with a full time inspector on site at all times. So you can be assured of the quality of your farm grown beef.

4. Our beef animals will produce 55% to 60% of packaged meat per lb of live weight. So a 500 lb steer will provide 275 to 300 lbs. of packaged meat. Hypothetically speaking the cost would be market price that day is 1.25 per lb:

1.25 Per lb = 625.00
+ 10% = 62.50
+ Process = 46.00
+ Per Lb. = 135.00
Total = 868.50 divided by 300 lbs.

That's 2.895 a lb., so, less than 3 dollars per lb.
