ORDERING & PAYMENT
ORDERING & PAYMENT
Payment is done in two steps, as there is no way to know the exact weight of each beef, lamb, and pork until they are processed; such is the nature of nature. The initial deposit reserves your order. The final balance will be invoiced in early July and is the balance between your deposit and the final hanging weight of your meat. All payments are based on hanging weight.
Hanging weight is the weight of each beef, lamb, and pork before the dry aging process and before it is cut and packaged (lamb and pork are not dry aged). Packaged weight is always less than hanging weight, primarily due to the dry aging process (SO worth it). Other factors are whether steaks and roasts are boned out or cut with the bone in, and the excellent trimming job done by my butcher. Packaged weight of beef, after dry aging, cutting, and trimming, is approximately 60% – 65% of hanging weight. To determine an estimated packaged weight based on hanging weight, multiply hanging weight by .65.

FINAL HANGING WEIGHTS
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 – this is where you may request the ballpark final hanging weight of your meat.
• If you would like a larger order (toward the higher end of the ‘final weight’ range listed above), simply mark ‘Large.’
• If you would like a smaller order (toward the lower end of the ‘final weight’ range listed above), simply mark ‘Small.’
• If you would like a medium order (toward the middle of the ‘final weight’ range listed above), simply mark ‘Medium.’
I have been able to accommodate these request in all years past.
If you have any questions about any part of the process, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
