Purchasing meat directly from the farm can seem overwhelming, but we’ve made it simple! Here’s how our pricing works:

Packaged beef

Please note, prices are estimates based on average package weight and price per pound. Final pricing is based on actual weight at pickup or delivery, with any balance or refund settled at that time. This standard method ensures fair and accurate pricing.

Custom Beef

We sell our custom beef at $6 per pound of hanging weight. The nonrefundable deposit you pay with the online order will go toward the total price. The remainder will be calculated at the time of harvest and will be collected upon delivery of your meat. This price includes everything you need:

  • Processing: We handle all butchering and cutting to your specifications.

  • Vacuum-Sealed Packaging: Your beef will be vacuum sealed to preserve its freshness.

  • Delivery: We offer delivery to one of four convenient locations—Farm Pick Up (Owenton, KY), Cincinnati, OH, Lexington, KY, and Louisville, KY. You’ll have a 2-hour window to pick up your order at the chosen location.

We accept cash, credit card and Venmo at time of pickup. Please note, A 3% processing fee applies to credit card and Venmo payments.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Hanging Weight vs. Finished Meat: The price is based on hanging weight (the weight of the beef after slaughter and before processing). After processing, you'll receive approximately 60-70% of the hanging weight in finished cuts (steaks, roasts, ground beef, etc.).

  • Freezer Space: Be sure to have enough freezer space to store your beef. Generally, you’ll need about 5-7 cubic feet of freezer space per 100 lbs of finished meat.

  • Delivery Window: Delivery is made once a month to each location, and there will be a 2-hour window for pickup. Please ensure you can pick up during that time to avoid losing your deposit on the beef.

  • Quality and Freshness: We freeze the beef at the time of packaging to preserve the freshness, so you can store it for an extended period without losing quality. Your meat will begin to thaw when removed from our cooler, plan accordingly.

Our goal is to maintain uniformity in our beef, and we typically aim for a hanging weight of 700 to 800 lbs per cow. However, it’s important to note that even with this target, variations can occur. While we strive for consistency, we cannot guarantee that every cow will fall within this exact range.

To help our customers plan ahead, we provide an estimated hanging weight and yield percentage (finished cuts), giving you a good idea of the final price and freezer space needed. After harvest, the exact hanging weight is known, and you’ll have a more accurate estimate of the space required, with approximately two weeks to arrange freezer space before delivery. This helps ensure you’re prepared for both the cost and storage requirements, even with minor fluctuations in yield.

Example Pricing & Freezer Space (Estimate)
For 750 lbs Hanging Weight


At $6.00 per lb hanging weight, the total cost is 750 lbs × $6.00 = $4,500.

Finished Meat Yield
After processing, you can expect approximately 60–70% of the hanging weight as finished meat.

If the yield is 60%, the finished meat is 450 lbs, with an approximate cost per finished pound of $4,500 ÷ 450 lbs = $10.00 per lb.

If the yield is 70%, the finished meat is 525 lbs, with an approximate cost per finished pound of $4,500 ÷ 525 lbs = $8.57 per lb.

Freezer Space
For 450 lbs of meat, you will need approximately 22.5–31.5 cubic feet of freezer space.
For 525 lbs of meat, you will need approximately 26.25–36.75 cubic feet of freezer space.

Cut Sheet & Customization:
After deposit has been paid (for in person sales) or when adding to cart (for online sales), you’ll receive a cut sheet where you’ll choose your cutting preferences, including steak thickness, number of steaks per package, and bone-in or boneless options. If you have questions, we’re happy to help guide you through the process.

Our goal is to provide high-quality, farm-raised beef with transparent pricing and no surprises. By selling by hanging weight and including processing, packaging, and delivery, we keep the process straightforward and fair.
