Carcass Beef FAQs

 

How do I order my Willow Creek Beef?

 

Because we want to make sure all your questions are answered pertaining to pricing and cutting instructions, we ask that you call 1-877-492-6328. After we receive your down payment of $125.00 for a quarter, $175 for a half or $250.00 for a whole beef, your order will be processed.

 

 How will the price of my beef be determined?

 

The actual price per pound will be determined by current cattle market values and will vary weekly. Your price will include all processing and delivery. Remember, your price will be calculated on the hanging weight of the carcass, not the final pounds of edible meat. The hanging carcass weight will be approximately 760 lbs. After processing you will have approximately 420 lbs of meat. These weights will vary depending on the size of the animal.

 

How much freezer space do I need?

 

In general, 30 pounds of beef takes up one cubic foot of freezer space. Thus, for a half of beef (approximately 280 lbs) you will need about 10 cubic feet of freezer space.

 

Once I place the order, how long before I receive it?

 

Since your order is a custom order and your beef may age for up to 28 days, you can expect delivery in 45 to 60 days.

 

How long can I keep beef in the freezer?

 

You can keep properly wrapped beef in the freezer for up to one year.

 

Can I customize my order? If so, how customized can I get? 

 

Absolutely! We can customize the number of days your beef is aged, how thick you want your steaks, and how lean or how well marbled you like your beef. Literally, we hand select the beef especially for you!
