  • Smokies (cheese): $4.50/lb

  • Pork is added to sausage, pepperoni and smokies (approx. 30%, lean), at $2.50/lb.

*Specialty item prices have been provided by our butcher and are subject to change without notice.

Customization Options:

  • Organs/Offals: These come at no charge but are first come first serve and not guaranteed; however, if you would like organs we will try our best to pair you with customers who do not.

  • Add soup/dog bones at no charge.

  • Add specialty items and/or vacuum seal packaging for an extra fee.




Weight.

Average hanging weight is approx. 150 lbs (hanging weight is the weight of the carcass after initial slaughter once the hide, organs, head and feet have been removed. This weight still includes the trim, which is the fat and bones). This is the weight used to calculate the price/lb for the meat and the butchering fees. This is typical for farm direct ordering.
Average packaged weight is approx. 90 lbs (this is the amount that will end up in your freezer once the order has been trimmed, cut and wrapped).

Price.

Approximate all-in price is $1000, including butcher fees. The final price is based on the weight of the carcass, which can vary from animal to animal. However, any fluctuation in the final price will directly reflect the amount of beef you will end up with.

Breakdown:
Beef Cost (Hansen Beef): $5.50/lb (no GST)
Butcher Fees (Country Quality Meats): $1.04/lb, plus additional butcher fees for slaughter, cooling, recycling of approx. $45 (plus GST)
*cost/lb subject to change

Pricing Example on an average 150 lb carcass weight:
Hansen Beef Cost: 150 lbs x $5.50 = $825.00
Butcher’s Fee: 150 lbs x $1.04 = $156 + additional fees of ~ $49 & GST = $215.25

Total cost = $1040.25

What does a 1/4 beef look like?

If you have never ordered before it can be hard to picture what almost 100 lbs of beef looks like, and to know just how much freezer space you will need! Below is an example of what a quarter of beef looks like upon pick up, as well as in a 17 cu ft freezer. We recommend at least 5-7 cu ft for storing your order.

  • Typical quarter order.

  • Order upon pick up.

  • Order in 17 cu ft. freezer.
