Tip: Since there are some limitations with your cutting selections (for example, if you order strip loin steaks then you will not get any t-bones), with full orders you also have the option providing two different cutting instruction sheets to the butcher - one for each half of your animal.
Weight.
Average hanging weight is approx. 600 lbs (this 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. 360 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 $4100, 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)

How much beef will I get with a full order?
If you have never ordered before it can be hard to picture what ~360 lbs of beef looks like, and to know just how much freezer space you will need! Below is an example of what a half of beef looks like upon pick up, as well as in a 17 cu ft freezer. A full order would obviously be double the the amount. We recommend at least 20 cu ft for storing your order.
-
Half order upon pick up.
Full orders would be double the pictured amount!
-
Half order in 17 cu ft. freezer.
Full orders would be double the pictured amount!
