Local grass fed and grass finished locker beef for sale. Animals are being finished on a Ryegras pasture, all raised here on the farm. I have one two year old heifer for sale as a whole or half (she was born blind in one eye and grew slower than all the other calves so I held her back to try and get more size on her before I butchered her) and four cull cows (wholes, halves, or quarters) who have had a good chance to put on weight since calving last year. I have had good experience eating my older animals, but I understand some apprehension so they are discounted.
Dexters are a small, fast maturing breed of cattle (mature cows are around 800lbs compared to 1200- 1600 for conventional breeds) and one thing to keep in mind with smaller animals like these, the size of the cuts of beef are proportional to the size of the animal (a finished Dexter cow can be around 2/3rds or less the size of the larger animals that are processed through commercial feedlots). The animals will be butchered May 20th and the meat will be available around two weeks later.
Quarters are at a price premium and the cutting order will be made for you, if you don’t want that much beef talk to your friends and family and try and find one or more people to split half an animal with. A $50 deposit will reserve your beef for you and will be credited to your total price. The price is per pound and by hanging weight (this is the weight of the animal after it has been skinned and gutted). This includes the butchering fee, with most locker beef you will be asked to pay the butchers fee separately (usually between $300 and $500 for a whole cow). The estimated weights, prices, and storage space that are given are just that, estimates, and have the potential to vary widely from actual weight. The beef will lose 20%-30% of it’s weight (moisture loss) while it is dry aged. One cubic foot of freezer space will hold 35 to 40 pounds of processed frozen meat. Animals will be butchered with a mobile slaughter on farm and processed by C&C Slaughter in Scio. If you want your processed meat delivered I will make an effort to do that, or you can pick it up yourself at your convenience.
Total storage space and weight of the processed meat will vary based on cutting instructions (bone in or bone out, shape of the cuts etc). Cows processed in quarters will be given generic cutting instructions by me and then divided up in half and distributed to customers.
