Worked example

What a side actually costs

  1. 1

    The rate

    $7.35 / lb

    Per pound of hanging weight, the way whole-animal beef has always been priced. Cutting, vacuum packaging, and delivery are included in the rate.

  2. 2

    Priced on the typical side, 396 lb

    $2,910

    396 lb × $7.35, rounded in your favor. This is your bill, fixed when you order, not an estimate that moves at weighing.

  3. 3

    If your animal runs under the average

    We credit you

    Your price never goes up. If your side comes in meaningfully under the typical weight, we credit the difference to your account, use it on this order or the next.

  4. 4

    Packaged weight in your freezer

    ≈ 277 lb

    A typical yield is 65-75% of hanging weight depending on how much you take boneless. This example assumes 70%.

  5. 5

    Effective cost per pound of packaged beef

    ≈ $10.50 / lb

    $2,910 ÷ 277 lb. That is the number to compare against the shelf, and it covers steaks, roasts, and burger alike.

What is included

Slaughter, a minimum seven-day hang, cutting to your sheet, vacuum packaging, flash freezing, labeling, and delivery on sides and quarters across our footprint.

What is not

Sides and quarters are delivered by us across New England, eastern New York, Long Island, and northern New Jersey, or picked up at the farm in Benson. Delivery is included in the price. Nothing is ever added to your bill without confirmation.

How you pay

No deposit. Your price is fixed when you confirm ($2,910 side, $1,494 quarter on the typical animal). If hanging weight comes in under typical, we credit the difference. When your order is cut, packed, and ready, we email a secure Square payment link. Pay by card or ACH bank transfer; payment is due when it ships or is picked up. We do not accept cash or checks.
