ORDERING& PAYMENT
ORDERING & PAYMENT
Payment is done in two steps, as there is no way to know the exact weight of each beef until they are processed; such is the nature of nature. The initial deposit reserves your order. The final balance will be invoiced in late July and is the balance between your deposit and the final hanging weight of your meat. All payments are based on hanging weight.
FINAL HANGING WEIGHTS
Hanging weight is the weight of each hanging side (or quarter) before the dry aging process and before it is cut and packaged. Packaged weight is always less than hanging weight, primarily due to the dry aging process (SO worth it). The difference between hanging and packaged weight is also affected by boning-out steaks and roasts, and the excellent trimming job done by my butcher. Packaged weight of beef, after dry aging, cutting, and trimming, is approximately 65% of hanging weight. Multiply the hanging weight by 0.65 to determine the estimated packaged weight of a particular order.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR ORDER
When I receive your order, I will email you a form for your free add-on requests, which you’ll email back to me. On that form, I will also ask for your size preference (Small / Medium / Large). This is where you may request the ballpark range for the final hanging weight of your meat. I have been able to accommodate these request in all years past.
