Grass Fed Beef
$5.16 per pound hanging weight
Customer pays cut and wrap separately
Price Breakdown
There are three elements of pricing.
First, for the beef itself, we charge by the pound, hanging weight. This is the meat, with some bone and fat, as it hangs in the cooler after the animal is processed. Our animals average 700 pounds, but can vary from the low 600s to the over 800.
Second, the we normally use CJs in Wapato as our butcher. CJ's charges $1.10 per pound + tax to cut and wrap the meat. During this process some of the excess fat and bone is removed and discarded.
Third is for the slaughter and initial processing. The cost is $150 per animal, or $37.50 per quarter.
Hanging Weight Price
$5.16 per pound hanging weight paid to Fifth Generation Ranch. Fifth Generation Ranch also pays the slaughter fee at the time of slaughter and adds that to the total due to Fifth Generation Ranch. The customer will pay cutting and wrapping directly to the butcher at the time of pickup.
Hanging weights typically vary from 160 - 200 pounds per quarter.
One quarter is half of a half and includes cuts from the entire beef. Because of this, quarters cannot be custom cut. We do sell by the quarter, but we encourage customers to order half or whole to get the most benefit from a custom cut beef.
A typical 700 pound hanging weight half will have an all in price of about $4500. The total cost varies directly with hanging weight.
