How Much Freezer Space Do I Need?
Freezer space is not a simple problem to solve. While you may be able to fit all your meat in your freezer, you may not be able to reach all of the cuts you want without digging around.
A standard whole beef share will yield 400-500 pounds of meat.
For smaller breeds, such as Dexters, you can divide all these numbers in half.
This equates to
14 cubic feet minimum
20 cubic feet to stay organized
Why Buy Whole?
Buying a whole animal gives you control over your meat, influence on how that animal is raised, and keeps your dollars local.
Price is locked in, don't let the grocery store control your budget.
You choose the cuts. Prefer higher quality ground beef and not a fan of roasts? Ask your butcher to grind up your roasts!
Less waste. You get everything, including things you can't get or have a hard time finding at the store such as Organs, Tallow, and Bones.
Your money stays local. Why spend your hard earned dollars lining the pockets of multinational meatpackers, grocery store conglomerates, and everyone in between?

What Is It?
Local Beef, with 24/7 access to grass and optionally supplemented with grain raised on pasture to ensure optimal meat quality and animal wellbeing.
What Does It Cost?
To Us: $1,000 Non-Refundable Deposit To Reserve Your Animal which will be applied to your total, $6.50/lb Hanging Weight When Fully Grown
To The Butcher: $210 Slaughter, $1.10/lb Hanging Weight if using our preferred butcher, Diamond S Meats in Klamath Falls.
For Example, if the animal weighs in at 1000 on butcher day, it would be 600 pounds hanging and it's cost would be $3900. We would then subtract your deposit for a total of $2900 due to us. Once that is paid we drop the animal off at the butcher for you, and when they complete the process they would contact you to pick up your meat and collect $870.
In Total: A 1000 pound animal would run you a total of $4770 for an estimated 360 pounds of beef, or ~13.25/lb.
