Hanging weight is the weight of the animal after harvest and initial dressing at the processor. This includes bone, some fat, and trim that will be removed later during processing. It’s the standard and most transparent way bulk beef is priced.

Typical take-home yield is about 55–65% of hanging weight, depending on cutting preferences and trim choices.

Bulk beef is priced at $4.25 per pound of hanging weight.
A non-refundable deposit reserves your beef, and the final balance is calculated once the processor establishes the hanging weight.

Pricing by hanging weight ensures fair, industry-standard pricing and allows customers to customize cuts without hidden markups. It’s the most honest way to price bulk beef.

Approximate packaged take-home amounts:

• Whole Beef: ~325–425 lbs packaged beef

• Half Beef: ~150–210 lbs packaged beef

• Quarter Beef: varies depending on animal & cuts

Actual amounts depend on the specific animal and cutting instructions.

All beef is processed at a USDA-certified facility in Cody or Powell, Wyoming.

No. All deposits are non-refundable and reserve your beef.
