Cows

We raise cows for beef for ourselves and to order. We are not certified organic but we do raise our beef in the healthiest way we know. Our cows are pasture raised and finished. Please Contact Us with any specific questions you may have. Beef can be ordered as a whole cow, 1/2 a cow or 1/4 cow (includes front and rear cuts). Beef must be picked up in the Penn Yan, NY area unless prior arrangements are agreed upon. Price for 2003 has not been determined yet but for 2002 it was around $1.70/lb hanging weight including butchering, cutting, wrapping and freezing. Here is an example of the meat that might be in a 1,000 lb live weight steer. Once it is butchered, the hanging weight would be approximately 590 lbs (this is the weight your cost is figured from). From this, you will get approximately 425 lbs of retail cuts. Depending on how you have it cut, you might get: 34 lbs of porterhouse, T-bone and club steaks, 40 lbs of sirloin steaks, 57 lbs of round steak, 36 lbs of rib roast, 16 lbs of boneless rump roast, 110 lbs of chuck roast, 90 lbs of hamburger, 42 lbs of stew meat and miscellaneous cuts. The remaining 165 lbs lost between the hanging weight and the retail cut weights are bones, fat and other waste. You can get some of this back in soup bones and suet. We are currently taking orders for Fall 2003 delivery of beef.
