How Much Does Omega Beef Cost?
We charge $4.50 a pound hanging weight for half and whole beeves. Our price is based on the hanging weight of the carcass before it is processed into the cuts. Our butchers weigh the carcass by the half. We pay the processing fees based on this weight and price the beef by this same weight.
The $4.50 per pound price based on the hanging weight translates to about $7.00 for the finished cuts once the bone and excess fat is discarded. This price is very competitive with premium retail beef prices when you average the expensive cuts with the cuts of lesser value.
How it Works:
Once you have decided to buy a half or whole beef from us here is what happens:
- We put your name on our list of customers for the next butchering. (FIRST TIME CUSTOMERS – We ask for a $100 down payment on half beef orders, and $200 for
Whole beef orders.)
- Shortly before we gather cattle and go to the butcher we will call you to confirm your order.
- When the beef cattle are “finished” we take them to our local, family run butchers.
- As soon as we have your order confirmed we will communicate with the butchers and give them your contact information.
- At this time we also send you information on the choices you will have for getting your beef custom cut and packaged. And we will give you information on communicating with our butchers!
- We will assign each of you a half or whole beef according to your order.
- The butchered animals dry-age for 10-14 days.
- We pay the basic butchering costs and pick up your beef and deliver it to you within our region.
- If interested, ask for information and cost for out of state shipping of large orders.
