Great way to stock your freezer! Half beef off the hoof, is a half a grain finished beef brought from our farm and sent to our local butcher. Once it has gone through the slaughtering process, the butcher will then weigh it to determine the hanging weight. It will hang for a minimum of 14 days. Processing charges are determined by the hanging weight. You are then contacted by the butcher to select the cut you want, the packaging type, size or weights of each cut, and the quanitities of each cut. Customer will pay for shipping/delivery or can be picked up in Elwood, NE. Approximately 14 cu.ft. of freezer space is necessary to store a half beef. This price does not include processing charges, you will pay that directly to the butcher.
