Sides of Beef/Large Orders
By far, the biggest part of our business is in the sides of beef. A side of beef is, literally, the right or left side of the butchered cow, after it is killed and cleaned. In a side of beef one has lots of options on how to cut and package the meat. You can pick your cuts, pick the size/thickness of the cuts, then pick how many of each you would like in a package. Because of these options and the economy of it, we sell hundreds of sides of beef each year. There are always lots of questions when a side of beef is ordered, so we tried to make a list of the most commonly asked questions, and then answer them.
- How much does it cost? $3.75 per pound of the dressed weight. A side of our meat usually weighs 290 lbs + or - 40 lbs.
- How much meat do you get? You will lose about 25% to 30% of the dressed weight due to evaporation in the dry ageing process and waste during packaging, so if your side weighs 300 lbs you will get about 220 lbs of meat.
- Will I need a deep freezer? YES!
- How big of a freezer should I get? At least 9 cubic feet for a chest and 14 for an upright but a freezer is like a garage I have never heard anyone complain that theirs is too big and they just can't fill it up.
- How long will the meat last in the freezer? At least 12 months.
- What cuts will I get? What ever you want. We cut it to your specifications.
- There only 2 people in my house, can I have the meat in smaller portions? Yes, just make a note on the order form.
- There are 19 people living in my house, can I have the meat in larger portions? Yes, just make a note on the order form.
- Do I get the organs? Not for just sides, you can if you order the whole cow.
- May I have the head, the hide, the knuckles and hoofs? Sorry, no.
- May I watch them cut up the side of beef? Yes.
- I am a chef at a restraunt or work at a butcher shop. Do you sell primal cuts? YES. Call for more information.
