Hanging weight for a quarter is typically around 150- 175lbs. Take home amount of beef ends up being approximately 65% of hanging weight. This ends up being around 100lbs of finished beef for your home freezer.
Please note: There is only ONE heart, liver, tongue, oxtail and a limited amount of tallow. These are only available when you buy a WHOLE BEEF. To schedule a whole beef, contact the farm. If you want a 1/2 beef, please add 2 - 1/4 beef reservations. We do offer these items to meat herdshare members in our Farmers Market Shop.
Your cost for custom beef, cut and packaged how you choose, will be approximately $9 per pound (give or take depending on your processing choices). That includes everything from hamburger to premium steaks!
For reference the ground beef in our farmers market shop is available through our herdshare for $8.95/lb and all other cuts go up from there.
Total payment for meat, minus reservation fee, will be due to LRF based on the specific weight of your quarter within a week of locker drop off date. You will also have have a one payment to the meat locker for processing and packaging your beef at the time of pick up 4-6 weeks later.
Your custom cutting instructions must be selected via online ordering here through Pickrells online system.
• Beef to be delivered to the locker on the date option chosen

Specialty items like meat sticks or jerky will cost more and raise your processing fees. All fees are listed on Pickrells website link.
