How It Works
A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your whole beef share.
The remaining balance can be paid through a payment plan that works for you or in one final payment prior to pickup.
When you purchase a whole beef, you’ll:
- Select your preferred cuts
- Communicate directly with the butcher
- Receive beef customized to your household’s needs
Pricing & Processing Details
All cut and wrap charges are included in your price per pound. Your total cost is calculated as:
Hanging weight × price per pound + Idaho sales tax
-
Whole beef: $7.00/lb. (hanging weight)
-
Processor: Sustainable Meats, Kuna, ID
-
Packaging: Clear vacuum seal for maximum freshness
Vacuum-sealed beef provides superior freezer protection and allows for a 1–2-year freezer life, making it easy to pull individual cuts as needed.
Packaging & Box Fee Notice
Due to rising packaging and supply costs as a small business, a box/packaging fee now applies to beef share orders:
-
1/4 Share: $20
-
1/2 Share: $40
-
Whole Share: $60
To avoid this fee, customers may bring their own coolers, totes, reusable bins, or boxes for pickup. If you bring your own containers, we will take our boxes back onsite.
If we do not receive confirmation that you will bring your own containers, the box fee will be added to your final invoice.
What to Expect for Yield
Based on our most recent harvest:
- Average whole beef hanging weight: 850–950 lbs.
- Take-home beef yield: ~55–57% of hanging weight. (Example: ~480 lbs. from an 850 lb. hanging weight)
Weights will vary, as we finish each animal to meet our high standards for quality and consistency.
Pickup & Delivery
Please note: Whole beef shares cannot be shipped.
Estimated Cost Example
- 850 lbs. hanging weight × $7.00/lb. = $5,950 + Idaho sales tax
